TalkLeft: The Politics of Crime

For those who may not have found their way there yet - and most good blogs have a link to it - I encourage you to check out Jeralyn Merritt's fine TalkLeft.com covering the politics of crime.

You've no doubt seen Jeralyn on several news programs as a legal consultant; she's an astute, savvy lawyer who has an excellent grasp on defense issues and seems like a warm, genuine human being as well. I came to respect her a great deal several years ago when she became involved in the Tim McVeigh case. Lawyers who represent those considered reprehensible deserve an extra nod, because they understand that everyone should be properly represented. Justice isn't supposed to be metered out to a few; the term is "justice for all".
