I have just finished reading a letter written by PRACDL President and friend Jorge L. Arroyo to Ms. Inés Quiles at WKAQ Radio Talkshow "A Palo Limpio" on November 10, 2004. The letter was written in response to some comments about criminal defense lawyers getting persons acquitted on "technicalities." I considered it an excellent letter addressing this erroneous and distorted view of how the criminal justice system is meant to function, and have taken the liberty of posting it here. I apologize to any of you who do not understand Spanish, and to those who do, I suggest you take the time to read it. Jorge does a great job of setting the record straight. I'll have to ask him to pass on any reply he receives, although I have a feeling that there will be no reply to this one.
