Barry Pollock
=============

Barry Pollock is the Washington defense attorney John Kiriakou calls "legendary," who represented Julian Assange. Kiriakou says Pollock never lost hope because he had the facts on his side and understood that public opinion plays "at least as great a role" in convictions as facts do. With Assange refusing to be brought to Alexandria, Virginia, fearing the Justice Department would not honor the deal and vowing to kill himself if locked up, Pollock negotiated the plea to be processed in Saipan, in the Northern Mariana Islands, the U.S. district physically closest to Australia.
