We are a nation of laws, thankfully

Thank goodness for people like Judy Clarke, who has been appointed to defend the lunatic assassin in Arizona. We are a nation of laws, bound to treat the neediest defendants among us with respect and due diligence. Clearly the defendant is insane and will hopefully not be put to death, but instead be treated humanely as he spends the rest of his life in prison. I assume no photos of Ms. Clarke were attached to the Times story due to the possibility of another assassination. She is a priceless American.
