We are not to give any opinions on such things when it's still pending.
But where do you think trial should be transferred to?
I would not mind taking a case like this. But we defense lawyers cannot replace the prosecutors if it's for Mr. Vang.
Thanks for responding. Rumors are that the DA knows the family, so that would be a conflict of interest...if the case is denied for a transfer than there should be a request for a special prosecutor, tricky and hard as that may be. It should be moved to MN, that would be my request. I meant, aiding in terms of consulting and reaching out to the family/victim to offer any assistance, especially with your background.
To the public, it seems like a fairly open and shut case. I think any prosecutor will offer a plea and save tax payers the cost of a trial ....the defense? I believe the white folks in WI are arrogant enough to think that they can walk away free. I wouldn't be surprised if it goes to trial. I hope it doesn't, many are hoping for a very harsh sentence but I think that the consequences of having a felony conviction and any amount of time incarcerated is going to serve this man well, considering his background. There is a widespread mindset in minority groups that a longer sentence equals greater justice....we fail to see that for white criminals, they want to get off clean (white privilege mindset) and that is why our prison population is higher in numbers for minorities than whites. To add, wanting to get off clean means they push the system harder and most end up with a lesser sentence. Being stripped of their rights while living in the community has a far greater impact on white criminals than it does others...trans
ferring back to the white privilege mentality.
