Greenberg’s criminal defense attorney, Alanna Coopersmith, said Wednesday her client had been studying in the UC-Berkeley library the day of the attack, though he doesn’t attend Berkeley. He attends another nearby college, she said.

“He has a clean record," Coopersmith told reporters outside the courtroom as Greenberg stood at her side. ( Make that HAD a clean record)"I understand many people observing this case are interested in constitutional freedom and I would remind them that one important constitutional freedom is the presumption of innocence, due process of law and due process in a courtroom, not on social media or the Internet."

She said it was premature to comment on the substance of the case.

Dhillon told Fox News that she is optimistic that her client will get justice.

 

"I’m pleased that the Alameda County DA’s office is handling this matter with the seriousness and diligence that it deserves, quickly coming to a charging decision and offering open communication about the process," she said.
