Remember the case of Cory Maye that I linked to a few weeks ago<\/a>? That dude in Mississippi who’s sitting on death row in a particularly murky case (as in, cops broke down his door possibly without announcing themselves and possibly without a legit warrant, and the first cop to barge into Maye’s place got shot)?<\/p>\n

The Agitator’s<\/a> done a great job of pursuing the case, and informing readers about the ever-stranger circumstances of the case. Now the strangeness has gone overboard.<\/p>\n

Evidently, the public defender who was representing Maye on his appeal has been fired from his position as town public defender, almost certainly in reponse to his pursuit of Maye’s appeal.<\/em> Read Balko’s latest on the case<\/a>, just to get one more take on how messed up the justice system can get.<\/p>\n
