A death-penalty case that has been in the appeals process for nearly two decades has prompted a judge to criticize federal defenders for “gaming” the system in capital cases.
In a memorandum issued April 24, U.S. District Judge John E. Jones III of the Middle District of Pennsylvania said lawyers for Seifullah Abdul-Salaam “are at bottom gaming a system and erecting roadblocks” in an effort to stop the death penalty from being carried out.
