Defense Attorney for Accused Murderer of Drummer Lee Rigby: His Client Has Shown "Absolute Honesty and Moral Conviction."

Do you remember the death of Drummer Lee Rigby outside the Woolwich Barracks in London on May 22? The killers ran him down with a car, attacked him with knives, and attempted to decapitate him with a cleaver, while shouting "Allahu Akbar" (God is great). CNN today describes closing arguments in the trial on Wednesday (http://edition.cnn.com/2013/12/18/world/europe/uk-soldier-killing-trial/index.html?hpt=hp_t4):

"Defense lawyers on Wednesday finished their closing arguments.

Lawyer David Gottlieb referred to his client Adebolajo by his Islamic name, Mujahid Abu Hamza, describing him as intelligent, totally sincere in his beliefs and as someone who has shown 'absolute honesty and moral conviction.'"

"Absolute honesty and moral conviction"?  I think I'm going to be sick.
