I was one of the many attorney who represented Mr. Braddy over the years. It was an extremely difficult case and I commend the lawyers who obtained the life sentence.

If public defenders don’t fight for the person the world has already written off, our rights become meaningless. The strength of our republic isn’t measured by how we treat the powerful; it’s measured by how we treat those least positioned to fight back.
