DEAL WITH IT! As for Mr. Armstrong, you forgot to mention that at the time he was convicted of the murder in Madison he was on parole for a rape in New Mexico (supposedly a "life" sentence). Armstrong could very well be the next Steven Avery (Kudos to the Innocence Project on that one). Since you are so pleased with the outcome in this case, maybe you should invite Armstrong to live with you and your family. Hopefully Justice Gableman will cast the deciding vote to reinstate the charges.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506514005426983269.post-19595337097521747172009-08-01T09:24:14.607-05:002009-08-01T09:24:14.607-05:00Kudos to Jerry Buting, who has worked tirelessly a...Kudos to Jerry Buting, who has worked tirelessly and superbly for many years as Armstrong's attorney (pro bono for the most part, far as I know). Barry Scheck also was impressive on the appeal.<br /><br />Brett might well be correct about the assumed application of Hicks, but in the event <a href="http://www.wicourts.gov/sc/opinion/DisplayDocument.html?content=html&seqNo=18982" rel="nofollow">reversal of Armstrong's conviction</a> was by a razor-thin 4-3 margin. Butler wrote the majority opinion. Had Armstrong's case come before the court this past term, his conviction would have been affirmed 4-3, with Gableman, perhaps, authoring the majority opinion.
