Racist Lawyers in Georgia

Via Ta-Nehisi Coates’ blog…Via Daily Kos…Via Slate
Curtis Osborne is scheduled to be put to death by the state of Georgia tomorrow night for a gruesome double murder he committed in 1990. There is no question that Osborne is guilty. But Fletcher says neither Osborne’s jury nor the Georgia Supreme Court knew the full truth about his history at the time they made their decisions. Most importantly, he says, they didn’t know that Osborne’s lawyer was a racist and had never put in the time needed to present his client’s mental problems and abused past, having concluded that, “The little nigger deserves the death penalty.”
