Profile of Jose Padilla's Lawyer

There's a nice profile of Donna Newman, court-appointed lawyer for Jose Padilla, in the New York Times, Speaking for Terror Suspect, and for the Constitution.

We heard Donna speak in November at the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers' board meeting in San Francisco. We don't think she'll lose either.

For a good and concise summary of the issues involved, check out this article in the Philadelphia Inquirer. (Thanks to Jim Capozzola of Rittenhouse for sending it to us.)
