Description
BEAM, Circuit Judge Appellee Deborah Pilchak, a significant but lesser participant in a drug conspiracy, is now serving a life sentence after being convicted of a drug crime in Missouri state court.1 Although she did not know it at the time, she was represented at trial by a lawyer suffering from Alzheimer's disease. To add to her disadvantage, her disabled counsel was working before a jury that was unconstitutionally selected. The major player in the conspiracy, Pilchak's boyfriend, was convicted in a separate proceeding upon a plea of guilty and sentenced to a term of years in prison. He has long since served his required incarceration and is a free man, subject only to parole requirements.
