In a letter sent from prison to The Associated Press, Oswald said Koschnick, his former public defender, did "exceedingly productive and good work" on his case in 1994 and 1995.

"If Judge Koschnick is selected for the Wisconsin Supreme Court, his voluminous first-hand knowledge of defense cases and the personalities of accused criminals would bestow to that court a fairer, more effective and more trustworthy perspective ... ." Oswald wrote. "I only observed his practice on one case, but I would be inclined to see it his way."

Oswald is serving a life prison term for killing a Waukesha police captain after robbing a bank with his father. Oswald, then 18, and his father were pulled over after the robbery and opened fire on police with semiautomatic rifles. They also took a woman hostage and injured two other officers before they were arrested.

1. Somewhat similar to Justice Butler's situation

Both were defense lawyers doing their jobs for their clients. (Public defender Butler did better because he got his client off temporarily on a point of law, subsequently overturned on appeal, as I recall.) So do you think the WMC will run ads against this guy because he defended a cop-killer? :shrug:

2. Republican backing

Koschnick is speaking at the Marathon County Republican's meeting.
