I happen to know Balfour Der personally. He is a phenomenal and knowledgeable lawyer, and an even better person. #### off with your ignorant insults.

It's also worth mentioning that a solid defense representation is crucial to making sure the convicted can't validate any claims that the process wasn't fair. If a defense lawyer mails it in, all it does is help the appeal.
