Dmitry Sklyarov Gains High-Profile Defense Lawyer

Posted by timothy on from the representations dept.

Diesel Dave writes: "There's an article on Law.com about Dmitry Sklyarov's new Lawyer. Renowned San Francisco defense attorney John Keker has agreed to represent the Russian programmer pro bono. Keker is quoted as saying: "I think he is being unjustly accused and that's the kind of case I like to do." and "[The Government is] always welcome to dismiss the case, but we didn't come in to make a plea deal." This gives me the impression he has full intensions of fighting this to the end. Good."

    Dimitri is the type of man I aspire to be. I don't think I would have the courage to go to bat for freedom in another country like ours now.


    Dimitri, Please show this country what being a hero is all about.
