Attorney: Ivins never knew he was ‘the suspect’

As the government pegs the blame for the 2001 deadly attacks on one Army biologist, the attorney for scientist Bruce Ivins says his client never knew he was “the suspect” in the attacks.

“We were never informed or advised that an indictment was imminent of him,” attorney Tom DeGonia tells WTOP. DeGonia’s broadcast interview is Ivins’ lawyers’ first interview since Ivins committed suicide.

Ivins, a Fort Detrick scientist, overdosed on acetaminophen. He died July 29, hours before he was set to meet with the government about the case. Even though Ivins had died, DeGonia and co-counsel Paul Kemp still met with the Justice Department that day. It was then, DeGonia says, the government offered up a reverse proffer — its plans to seek an indictment against Ivins.

“It had never been made clear to him nor to us that he was ‘the suspect,’” says DeGonia, Ivins’ co-counsel.

But sources familiar with the investigation tell WTOP Ivins told his therapist, Jean Duley, and another person that he knew he was about to be indicted on five counts of capital murder. The anthrax attacks killed five people and sickened 17 others.

Questioning the Government’s Case

While government scientists working on the anthrax investigation genetically linked the killer anthrax to a flask in Ivins’ lab, one under his control, prosecutors relied on circumstantial evidence to piece their case together.

“They’ve maintained that they are confident they have the correct person. Neither we nor the public have been presented with any hard, direct evidence, of the doctor’s involvement in these killings,” DeGonia says.

    This is smoke and mirrors to deceive us from the real issue. When these “attacks” first happened, the gov’t stated they were from “Al-CIA-da”. This was utter bullshit.

    Mr. Ivin was suicided. They needed a patsy and they of course got one. Who kills themselves with Tylenol? Being a scientist, especially one who instituted the anthrax attacks, surely he could come up with a better way to kill himself? Apparantly we the people really are that stupid to believe such lies.

    Of course a set-up also used to STOP ANY REAL INVESTIGATION!!

    [...] Re: Who made Dr Bruce Ivins take his own life? Ivins never knew he was the "suspect", how could he suicide on something he even didn’t know? It was obvious an elimination and a framed case.
