Is an unsuccessful defense an "adequate one"? We should ALL get the best defense possible when our lives and liberty are at stake. That's what "liberty and justice for all" means. The pledge you make to the flag representing our constitutional rights doesn't say "with liberty and justice for those who can afford it." If Peach & Johnson succeed in reducing the capability of defendants to receive equal justice under law will not their appeal attorneys be able to claim they received an inadequate defense, or a less than capable one? We should all be equal under the law.
