the best grounds for appeal (inadequate defense at trial) are not going to be there.

I think Bruck has told Roof, or encouraged Roof, to do this. That's what I thought the instant I read the news.

There isn't the hostility here between client and lawyers that one usually sees in such cases.

Bruck will be there, guiding Roof, and then Bruck will start the appeals. They should be able to run it five or ten years.
