Just wanted to thank all the information and insight into the defense lawyers.

I wanted to add a respect for the ability to put respect and reliance on the Law over personal morality. When I heard that Garland was assaulted in jail I was conflicted. Morally I was happy, on a deeply emotional level I despise him and wish the very worse; but on a level of societal rule of Law I was angered that this was allowed to happen to him, he was tried, convicted and sentenced to punishment and yet these others decided the punishment wasn't enough.

I applaud his lawyers for speaking out against the attacks, not because they are defending him, but in defending the foundation of our legal system and precedents. As far as I know his defense team was as horrified and disgusted by his actions, but respected the laws of this country more than their own moralities and were able to do their jobs, and continue to do their jobs regardless of personal bias.

I don't think this is something I could do, but I feel thankful to live in a country where there are professionals who are able to meet that standard to ensure our societal laws are respected and adhered to.
