Andrea Lyon on The Today Show

If there was ever an interesting attorney to see speak, it is the attorney for Casey Anthony, Andrea Lyon. A reader suggested I review Lyon on my story suggestion page, and this suggestion received 39 votes. I have to say that I really enjoyed watching this interview.

However, I am a strong supporter of our legal system and for it to work, I believe that all people, guilty or innocent, deserve to be represented, because if we didn’t represent both sides, we wouldn’t have a fair system.

So I feel it would be harmful for me to share my thoughts on the behaviors, beliefs or thoughts of both law enforcement and attorneys. What suspects do in public is fair game, but for those professionals who defend them, I respect their jobs and support them because we need them.

I do, however, find Lyon absolutely fascinating and I can’t wait to see what happens when she defends Casey Anthony. This is a case like no other. Anthony, in my opinion, is quite lucky she has Lyon. Her track record is stellar on death sentences. That’s why Lyon has earned the title “angel of death row”.

Lyon may be unique, in her retro hippie style and out-of-the-box thinking, but I can tell you she is no dummy.

Commenters have pointed out that Lyon stepped down from the defense team a week ago, however, that doesn’t change my stance that I don’t analyze law enforcement or attorneys. You can read this news at Crimesider.com.
