The Castration of Wayne Dumond

Via Atrios, a 2001 Village Voice article: The Castration of Wayne DuMond by Ward Harkavy.

The article reports DuMond's lawyer, John Wesley Hall, as saying:

"Bill Clinton is the only person in Arkansas without any balls," recalled John Wesley Hall, DuMond's attorney during their futile appeals and no enemy of Clinton. "He would fence-straddle to the extreme, and that created false expectations in some people."

John Hall is an excellent criminal defense attorney in Arkansas and author of legal text books for West Publishing on Ethics and on Searches and Seizures. We hope to see him at the NACDL board meeting this weekend and will ask him about the case, and report back here if there's anything to share. John was the recipient of the organization's prestigious annual Robert C. Heeny award this year.

Thinking it Through and Daily Kos have also been covering the Hucklebee-Dumond story. We need to do some research before we comment on this one.
