- Title
Indigent Defendants and Enemy Combatants: Developing Prototypes for National Security Cases.
- Authors
Klein, James
- Abstract
The author discusses how the U.S. government deprives indigent criminal defendants of liberty and how it threatens liberty in cases of obvious national importance, such as cases involving military detentions of enemy combatants. He notes that the cases his public defender office handles reveal that the government's institutional determination to hide information about the unreliability of the evidence it advances. He asserts that the government invents new forms of secret proceedings designed to shield the compromised pedigree of its evidence.
