Charles Manson?s attorney seeks pardon from Obama
 

And in this case the Devil?s Advocate appeals directly to the Devil himself.

(TMZ) ? Charles Manson?s lawyer has just sent a fax to President Obama, asking for mercy.

Giovanni Di Stefano ? known as ?The Devil?s Advocate? ? tells TMZ, he wants the Prez to set Manson free.

Di Stefano ? who has also repped the likes of Saddam Hussein ? says Manson was nothing more than a cult leader, not a murderer ? Manson didn?t do the killing. Di Stefano says at worst, Manson is guilty of telling his followers to ?do something witchy? ? never specifying murder.

Di Stefano complains, ?Manson has been made out in America to be the Satan of the criminal justice system. He does not deserve the title.?
