The widow of a Philadelphia police officer gunned down by a man whose lawyer has been picked by President Obama for a top civil rights post says she wants to testify at his confirmation hearing.
Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, told the Senate Judiciary Committee Thursday that he backed Maureen Faulkner’s request to speak at Debo Adegbile’s nomination hearing.
“She has requested that she be given the opportunity to be heard before the committee,” Grassley said. “I think it’s a reasonable request and I support it.”
Adegbile has been described by critics as “radical,” “dangerous” and “outside the mainstream.”

Apparently this woman and others don't seem to understand the US justice system. Do a crime, you have a right to a defense. The lawyer didn't pull the trigger to kill her husband. He simply did his job as a defense attorney. And the criminal is sitting behind bars for life, not walking the streets whistlin dixie.
