Was his office responsible for getting the probation report from the office or was the office responsible for sending it to Mr. Clanton's office?<br />If it is the lawyer's failure then shame on him, shame on him. He owes the family members who drove to Eureka expecting closure an apology.<br />If it was the Probation Office, then what is the usual handling of such reports? <br />Myself, I think the 'did not receive' excuse was to allow himself more time to come up with dubious reasons for the appeal. Yes, lawyers owe their clients their best efforts. Doesn't mean the family members AND the general public have to like it or respect his 'diligence'.<br />My thoughts are with the family members; I hope their prolonged suffering comes to an unchallenged end and that they can mourn without continued reminders of their loss.gabriele grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16127869830708518973noreply@blogger.com
