Perhaps not. However, in light of the fact that he also shared this little anecdote

"We weren't about to defend a random murder by some drug dealer (regardless of who the victim was, cop or not a cop) -- but neither were we going to be put in a position of defending cops."

I think it's plausible to think that Carrol wouldn't mind defending a non-random murder by a lefty,

Why not ask him? But I think you are deliberately reading what he says in the least charitable way. And whether a non-random murder would be politically defensible really depends, no? After all, if the KPD had assassinated Hitler in 33, or some Left Oppositionsiy had murdered Stalin, the world world be a better place.

Not at any venue.

As I said; there's always a question about what points to raise when.
