continues to be the coordination of the Project's overall efforts as well as the planning and implementation of all training for Federal Death Penalty
attorneys. Margaret also acts as the liaison between the Federal Death Penalty Trial and Habeas Resource Counsel Projects.
Margaret is a 1985 graduate of Indiana University at Indianapolis School of Law. She is admitted to practice law in Indiana, Arizona, Kentucky and
New York. Margaret has worked as a public defender for the State of Indiana as well as Maricopa County, Arizona. She has been in private
practice since 1990, but the majority of her work continues to focus on the representation of indigent clients. Margaret has been appointed
to represent two clients sentenced to death under the Federal Death Penalty Act, as well as a trial level client, whose Federal Death Penalty trial
resulted in a life sentence. She also represented Kevin Stanford, Stanford v. Kentucky, 492 U.S. 361 (1989), in clemency proceedings
which resulted in the 2003 commutation of his death sentence.
