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. :^) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "how is a raven like a writing desk?" --------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Which came first, the eye or the I?
