Milgaard was originally very protective of Larry Fisher's civil rights

According to David Asper, who was David Milgaard's defense attorney, no one was more protective towards Larry Fisher than David Milgaard himself when Milgaard's senior attorney, Hersh Wolch received an anonymous phone tip in February 1990 saying that Larry Fisher's wife was suspicious of her husband's behavior on the day that Gail Miller was murdered.

Even though Fisher was serving time for rape when this tip came in, and David Milgaard had already spent 21 unendurable years behind bars, Milgaard was afraid that public opinion would turn against Fisher if he was criticized by the media before he had the opportunity for a fair trial in the Miller case.

Asper is the only witness scheduled for this week. Next week, David's video will be shown at the hearing.
