MAYBE JOHN STEMBERGER SHOULD BE TOLD TO LEAVE

Atlas Shrugs has some more to say about Rifqa Bary's attorney, John Stemberger, as well as a response to said lawyer from Jamal Jivanjee, and you know what? If Stemberger, if anyone, is botching the job here, then yes, I do think that he should be given the pink slip for failure to properly defend Rifqa against those blatant parents of hers. Especially if he's only in it for the money.

What should be done now is for Rifqa to have the ill-advised plea withdrawn, and witnesses should be allowed to come forward and say whether they think she's in danger. And Stemberger should be told to skedaddle.

Update: Jewish Odysseus makes some counterpoints.

Update 2: as told here, I think I'm going to have to take back what I've said here, and apologize to Stemberger for any misunderstandings.
