Bank robbery defendant turns to the NSA

2013-06-14 01:44:29.772826+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Oh, this is awesome: Bank robbery suspect wants NSA phone records for his defense;

"If the government is spying on our phone calls, it can't then claim in the same breath that it won't provide those calls when it helps the defense. What's good for the goose, is good for the gander," said David Oscar Markus, a defense lawyer who blogs about the federal justice system in South Florida and first wrote about the unusual request.
