Eddie Greenspan is fired up:
But the court made Black sign a waiver acknowledging that he understood that his lawyer, for all his renown in Canada, does not know US law. If he loses, Black, who faces more than 90 years in jail if convicted, cannot appeal on the grounds that it was his lawyer's fault.
"I love that I've been certified as stupid by the Illinois judge," said Greenspan, who plans to frame a copy of the court document and hang it in his law office here. "So stupid," he added, "that no matter how incompetent I might be, Conrad can't rely on it."
I guess when it's a trial by jury, you can get away with saying things like that about the judge.
