Farook's Family Hires Lawyer Who Suggests Farook & Malik Were Innocent, Suggests That the Sandy Hook Shooting Might Not Have Really Happened

I suppose I understand why the family hired a lawyer -- barely. Though it still does look like an adversarial move.

The lawyers aren't just representing the family, it appears; they appear to be spokesmen for the Muslim community generally, and sound all the typical notes about backlash and such.

He suggests that the woman, Malik, couldn't have participated in the shooting, because she weighs 90 pounds, and that who knows, maybe Sandy Hook didn't happen.

This guy then says that any attempts to connect the pair to overseas terrorists have "fallen flat," even though... well, whatever.

So now this is happening.

Press Conference: On Fox News now. The lawyer is oddly not challenging that Farook and Malik committed the crimes -- but has turned to a conspiratorial defense of Islam and the rights of Muslims generally.

1. Who's paying this guy?

2. Who recommended him to the family?

3. Does he represent the family, or militant Islam generally?
