In my capacity as Blogger at the Federal Public Defender, I've taken to doing a "TGIF Roundup" series on Fridays (as you will have guessed from the series title). My brief for the series is to enable members of the federal indigent criminal defense bar in our district to get plugged into the Juristischerzeitgeist of the past week in under 60 seconds. (And maybe get a laugh or two.)
The blog is currently designed mostly for internal use, so there are no bloggy accoutrements like RSS, tags, comments, trackbacks or the like. Still, I thought some readers might be curious, and legal readers might even find it useful, so a link to today's Roundup post is here. An item for the nonlegal readers:
Kind Only to Be Cruel. The AP reports that condemned Ohio inmate Lawrence Reynolds took an overdose of medication in an apparent suicide attempt just hours before his execution, which had been scheduled for Tuesday. Authorities say that Reynolds is recuperating in a Youngstown hospital and should be well enough by next week to be put to death.
