PDs reveal deceased client's confession after 26 years to free another man

By John Wesley Hall, Jr.

ADVERTISEMENTS
After client's death, his two public defenders were able to reveal his confession to a homicide that wrongfully kept another man in prison for 26 years. See today's Chicago Sun-Times and AOL news and an AP post from last week in preparation for yesterday's hearing. The question of lawyers revealing privileged information from deceased clients that they committed a crime that another is in prison for is controversial. See the Staples Hughes disciplinary case, also here, in North Carolina which was resolved in his favor.
