Homeowner- If the alleged criminal is a minority, the ACLU will get involved. If there is any liberal-agenda possibly attained through the case- the ACLU may take the case.
Too many real criminals out there are let off for silly reasons or technicalities. I am not opposed to counsel, but a) if you do the crime, do the time and b) stop making up reasons why someone should not serve time… they had a broken home, tormented childhood ect. At the time of the crime, they knew what they were doing and the consequences for their actions- ie: no insanity defense should be accepted.
