ST. LOUIS (AP) - The two young lawyers who have taken on the defense of alleged child abductor Michael Devlin are eager but they're being seen as underdogs in a costly and complex case.
Ethan Corlija, 32, and his 33-year-old law partner, Michael Kielty, are relatively unknown even within the clubby world of St. Louis lawyers.
"If you had said 'do I know these guys?' I'd have said 'I have no clue,'" said Chet Pleban, who's practiced criminal law in St. Louis for 33 years.
