    Joseph D McBride, the Tates’ lawyer, told reporters that his clients were innocent. He said: “They’ve never done nothing wrong. They shouldn’t be extradited for crimes they didn’t commit. It’s garbage. It’s a stitch-up job.”

    Where did they get this guy.

      It doesn’t feel right agreeing with such an amazingly stupid arsehole but he’s right when he says “They’ve never done nothing wrong”.

      It’s true… They’ve never done anything right.

        Lawyers aren’t supposed to lie but also represent their clients in the best possible light to try and get sympathy of the judge, jury (if present) and public opinion in general.

        Not to sympathize with the guy but seems evidence is pretty solid. All he can do is try to spin into something it’s not.
