Parent victims want defense accountability

In the Knoxville News Sentinel today was an article depicting the anger that has resulted in an interesting legislative proposal. The parents of murder victims are angry over some defense claims that, according to them were fictional and slanderous. They want a defense lawyer to have a real basis for a claim or be financially liable for the slander. One paragraph in the story:


The parents of torture-slaying victim Channon Christian said today they plan to push for laws that would hold defense lawyers criminally liable for any unproven insinuations made during a trial.
