TADP is sad to report that on Saturday evening, February 4th,  longtime, Tennessee capital defense attorney, Bill Redick, passed away after a battle with cancer.

In the words of his colleague and friend Brad MacLean:

Bill was a giant in the Tennessee death penalty defense community.  He worked on death penalty cases from the early 1980’s and served as the director of the Capital Case Resource Center of Tennessee (CCRC) from its founding in 1988 until it was closed by the state and federal governments in 1995.

Bill helped author Tools for the Ultimate Trial, The Tennessee Death Penalty Defense Manual, published by the CCRC and distributed by the Tennessee Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (TACDL), which set the standard for capital defense representation in Tennessee – a standard, too often ignored by defense attorneys and the courts, that has continued to evolve since that time due largely to Bill’s work.  He served as Chairman of TACDL’s Death Penalty Committee from 1984 to 1995.  He founded and directed The Tennessee Justice Project from 2004 until 2007 when his illness took a hold of him.  In 1992 Bill was the first recipient of TACDL’s Death Penalty Award for outstanding work in the death penalty arena; in 2003 he received the National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty Legal Service Award; and in 2010 he received TACDL’s Lifetime Achievement Award, the highest honor bestowed on a criminal defense lawyer in Tennessee.

Bill was directly or indirectly involved in scores of capital post-conviction and habeas corpus cases.   He won relief for several condemned inmates, and none of his clients have been executed – a remarkable record.  His devotion to his clients, his tenacity, and the quality of his work over the course of an entire career were unparalleled.  Bill dedicated his life and soul to the legal representation of the most marginalized and vilified members of our society.  He had an unyielding vision of what capital defense representation was about.  He set the bar for all of us.

I have never known a person who was as dedicated to a cause, as steadfastly honest in his work, and as humble as Bill.  His impact on our community was far-reaching and can be felt in all that we do.  We will sorely miss him.

TADP echoes Brad’s sentiments and feels honored to have worked with Bill through the years. We are also particularly grateful for his service on the Tennessee Committee to Study the Administration of the Death Penalty from 2007-2009 and for his commitment to equal justice for all.  Thank you, Bill.

There isn’t anything you can’t order online anymore. Remedies like Deltasone ordinarily is used to treat diseases such as eye problems. Glucocorticoids naturally occurring steroids, which are easily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. There are varied drugs for every conditions. Cialis is a remedy prescribed to treat many illnesses. What do you already know about long term side effects of cialis? What consumers talk about how long does it take for cialis to take effect? A general sexual appeal among men is the erectile malfunction. Sexual problems mostly signal deeper problems: low libido or erectile dysfunction can be the symptom a strong health problem such as core trouble. Albeit the erectile dysfunction itself isn’t necessarily dangerous, erectile disfunction is sometimes one of the early warning symptoms of other underlying health conditions that can be extremely dangerous. Unfortunately nearly all over-the-counter medicines have sometimes dangerous aftereffects, from muscle aches to death. If you buy any erectile dysfunction medicaments like Cialis, check with a physician that they are sure to take with your other drugs. Do not take unwanted medications. Take Cialis to your local chemist’s shop which will dispose of them for you.
