Can you believe this; the next time my father buys mass quantities of
cocaine with intent to distribute, I'll be sure to retain DeLorean's
attorney.

Perhaps we can all hire this attorney to protect the Social Security System.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.  I admit that I am also dubious about the decision.

2.  I realize that (1.) is a result of being uninformed.

3.  As I understand it, DeLorean was acquitted on the grounds of entrapment.
    This is due to two possibilities:

	A.  He really was entrapped

	B.  He bought off the jurors.

4.  If (3.A) is correct then he should have been acquitted.  I would even
    stand up for YOUR rights if you were entrapped.  That's the swell kind
    of guy I am.  :^)

5.  You obviously believe that (3.B) occurred.  Let's think about that.

	A.  The jurors were not sequestered (therefore opportunity exists
	    for DeLorean proxies to have contacted/bought off the jurors)

	B.  How much would it have cost to buy off 12 people?  Let's say
	    he got off cheap, it would seem to me that it would cost five
	    or six thousand dollars each to buy off the jurors for a grand
	    total of about 72,000 dollars. 

	C.  72,000 dollars seems like a lot of money for someone who is
	    currently filing for bankruptcy.

6.  If you have ANY evidence for your above comments, I would be glad to
    hear them, otherwise you are just  making a knee-jerk response to
    something you know nothing about.  Is it fair to attack a man that was
    found INNOCENT just because he was rich at one time?  How about if
    you have no evidence?

7.  In conclusion, put up or shut up.   :^)
