\u201cThe worst,\u201d he replied. \u201cWe\u2019re out of court.\u201d<\/p>\n
Yes, this is the worst \u2013 the absolute, inexcusable, shameful worst.<\/p>\n
The justices have denied Junior Chandler, probably the last still-imprisoned victim of the multiple-offender, multiple-victim ritual-abuse day-care panic, his final chance for a new trial. After 25 years behind bars \u2013 more than all the Little Rascals defendants combined! \u2013 he faces only more of the same.<\/p>\n
If I were a lawyer, maybe I could understand how the North Carolina Supreme Court arrived at its decision.<\/p>\n
How it was unmoved by Junior\u2019s feeble representation early on.<\/p>\n
How it was uninterested in the epochal progress made in limiting expert testimony.<\/p>\n
How it was all too eager to find petty justifications for validating a prosecution rotten at the core.<\/p>\n
