Case of: Joshua Komisarjevsky, who turns 27 Friday, and Steven Hayes, 44, are charged with six counts of capital felony as well as murder, larceny, robbery, sexual assault, burglary, kidnapping and arson. If convicted on all counts, the two career criminals could each face a possible death sentence.

They were in court today, with their attorney's Joshua with Jermiah Donovan and Hayes with Thomas Ullman here are these two attorney's track record:

Tuesday's brief court appearance was noteworthy for the two high profile defense attorneys who entered the case. Donovan, who is representing Komisarjevsky, and Public Defender Thomas J. Ullmann, who is representing Hayes, have made a living punching holes in seemingly air-tight prosecutions.
Both men are well-known for passionate courtroom oratories that have persuaded juries to go easy on their clients.Donovan is perhaps best known for his successful defense of Heather Specyalski, who was acquitted and spared a possible 25-year prison sentence on a manslaughter charge in 2003.Specialski was the girlfriend of multimillionaire businessman Neil Esposito, 42, who was killed in a drunk-driving accident on Route 9 in 1999.

Donovan, citing Esposito's partially-clad body and other evidence found at the scene of the crash, argued that Specialski couldn't haven't been driving the car because she was in the passenger seat performing a sex act. In what some later called the "Lewinsky defense" after former White House intern Monica Lewinsky, the argument was enough to give a jury reasonable doubt.

In 2001, Donovan saved Gregory "Coyote" Pierre's life by successfully persuading a New London jury to convict Pierre on a lesser charge of manslaughter rather than murder and capitol felony for his roll in the beating death of James "Capt. Jim" Connor of Essex.

Ullmann is the only defense attorney to have ever clashed with Dearington on a death penalty case prior to this one - and Ullmann won. When Dearington decided to bring his first death penalty case against accused multiple murderer Jonathan Mills in 2000, Mills was charged with the brutal slashing deaths of Katherine "Kitty" Kleinkauf, 43, and her two children Kyle Redway, 4, and Rachael Crum, 6.Ullmann argued that Mills, a cocaine addict, was intoxicated when he gave a confession and not properly advised of his rights. Although Mills was ultimately convicted in the murders, he was spared a death sentence after Ullmann successfully persuaded a judge to allow Mills to make a rare, unsworn statement directly to jurors. In his statement, Mills apologized and spoke of how he was tormented by the deaths every day. It was enough to spare the defendant his life.Besides representing countless defendants in murder and other serious felony cases over the years,

Ullmann also represented former Branford First Selectman Anthony "Gene" Bontatibus on arson-murder charges in connection with the 1996 Thanksgiving fire that killed local firefighter Edward "Eddie" Ramos in 1996. The case ended in 2001 after five years, three trials and two hung juries. Dearington finally gave up and dropped the charges.

In the present case, state law requires evidentiary hearings - known as probable cause hearings - for any defendant charged with a crime punishable by life in prison or death. In Connecticut, those charges are murder and capitol felony. Probable cause hearings must be held within 60 days of formal criminal charges being filed." HARTFORD COURANT

Now, you have to wonder if Dearington is up for this trial, he has not done very well against these two men before, we need someone who will fight tooth and nail to convict these men that were apprehended at the scene in the car, it would be horrible if these men got off on a something stupid just so they can get out again an hurt more innocent people. Write your letters to the District Attorney's an make sure the right Lawyer is on the Case..
