A Black man who was once sentenced to death for murder is pursuing a legal challenge after discovering that his former attorney had defended members of the Ku Klux Klan. His case raises questions about whether the lawyer’s history created a conflict of interest, undermined trust, or affected the quality of representation. Attorneys and civil-rights advocates are examining the trial record, appeals, and possible grounds for a hearing. Prosecutors may contest the claim, while courts assess whether rights were violated.
