These lawyers were bound by lawyer client privaledge however, I wonder if they were not driven by not getting their legal fee for not disclosing what they knew. To recluse themselves from the case would have been the moral thing for them to do. they should be required to reimburse this man for the years he spent in prison and loss of earnings.

So if your doctor happened to discover from something you said that you are a child molestor, he or she should report it to the authorities immediately?

I don''t care what the circumstances where. Those lawyers should have come forward at the beginning. From this case, it pretty clear the legal system is not interested in the truth, they are only interested in convicting someone. What good is it going to do this man 26 years later. These two lawyers should have to spend 26 years behind bars themselves.

The question is....what penalty would the lawyers have paid for serving justice? I''m sure they would have been dis-barred at least.

Even then, I don''t know how they can sleep at night knowing they let a man go to prison for 26 years just so they have the lifestyle and occupation they wanted. These guys sound like the soldiers in A Few Good Men.

I can''t accept that there was no way they could have helped Mr Logan - like lawyers are this pure, ethical, upright profession. Logan was 28 years old when he went to prison - how much is the prime of you life worth? They could have tipped off someone...they just didn''t care.
