- ''the lawyers couldnt do anything''
correction, the lawyers WOULDNT do anything
lawyers destroy OTHER American citizens careers every day of the week, see this 4 minute youtube where lawyers destroy thousands of American tech workers careers with lies
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCbFEgFajGU
these lawyers could have said ''I''m not going to live with this'' and gotten the info, one way or another, to the DA. A DA cant use improperly gotten evidence to convict someone, but the CAN use it to stop prosecuting an innocent man! They dont need to prove anything to the court, they just stop prosecuting!
But these guys wouldnt risk their careers. They tell us ''we wouldnt understand''. They could have risked their careers, and the consequence to the system would have been "if you tell your lawyer something so despicable that he''d end his career for justice, what you say may get out to free an innocent man" i say so what
the bottom line is, these lawyers had an ethic only the lawyers in that youtube above would understand. that harming others, as a lawyer, is not doing wrong.
tell that to your maker, Jamie Kunz and Dale Coventry
every day of that 26 years was because of you
you could have found other careers if it came down to it, just ask any tech worker displaced by immigration lawyers who push discrimination against American citizens.
for all your lawyerbabble, it came down to this you were willing to sacrifice another man''s life to save your careers - Reply to this comment
- All these brave comments are apparently by people who have never needed a lawyer when charged with a serious offense. Unless you change the rules of ethics for serious crimes (which may or may not be a good idea), it is just blowing smoke.

- Isn''t the phrase ''JUSTICE in the United States'' an oxymoron? This is rampant...someone-and we know who-should be sued and sued HARD!
I hope Alton gets all his money quickly...and can live out his life in peace.
ALTON: You have to know majority of US who see this against you are really pulling for your happiness and peace in your heart.
GET ''EM where it hurts...and in the process get rid of the DA...and now! Alton was NIFONGed before the name was known. - Reply to this comment
- It''s ridiculous! The most non-sense part is the two lawyers ''think'' they have done everything they can, their conscience has ''suffered'' as well... Why didn''t they just admit that they care about their own job more rather than any innocent people in jail? Love their own interests more than others? Stop hiding from the excuse that they should protect their client. Simply speaking, they are self-fish and self-centered.
If I was a lawyer, I would even risk being sued by my client, and not keeping the secrets for years. Isn''t this justice''s true meaning?
I hope the victim, Simon, knows many people around the world feel terribly sorry for his tragedy. Hope he can get reasonable compensation and stay positive in the rest of his life. - Reply to this comment
- I certainly understand why the two lawyers did not reveal that their client was the killer and that an innocent man was sentenced to life in prison. What I cannot understand is how these two lawyers could sleep every night while this innocent man was in jail. It is unconscionable to me that these two would allow an innocent man to languish in jail knowing that he is innocent. I am an Illinois resident and am appalled at how many innocent people have been sent to jail in my state. The justice system here is broke!!!

- These attorneys need to be imprisoned. I am a lawyer. There is no way in hell that I would stand by and watch an innocent person go to prison for life, no matter the consequences. Ethics? Lawyers like these operate without ethics. They say they were protecting their client who had already committed two murders. They make me sick.

- Lawyers have managed to talk themselves into circles sighting the "ethics" rule to actually rule out real ethics. I''m a programmer and a simple logic bug like that would never be left in a program. I do understand that if these lawyers would have talked they probably would have been sued by the actual murderer so this is a REAL problem that should be addressed and fixed at a much higher level.

- I am sickened when I see these two spineless attorneys legally wiesal their way our of this horrid lack of ethics. They did not speak out loud about this man''s innoscence not because of their duty to their client but rather because of the money they thought that they could lose in the future of their law careers.
These two greedy attorneys are no different than the corrupt attorney politicians we have had running the State governments and Federal govenment of this country the past 50 years.
These two attorneys should be put in jail for their immoral crime, these two blowhards, feel sorry for themselves? These two S.O.B.''s should have their own lives shortened!!! - Reply to this comment
