There is a lesson to be learned here. When dealing with the law it's always a good idea to humble oneself expressing remorse, pleading guilty then requesting mercy from the court. It seems to me it's never a good idea debating your innocence with a street cop anymore then it is with the feds when they have your number. I'm certain humbling himself could have taken years off Ed's sentence. It worked for all those others didn't it?
If you have hundreds of thousands of other peoples money why not hire the most expensive lawyer available and fight like heck. It takes only One juror to deadlock
ReplyDeleteYeah but a deadlock means a mistrial--equals a retrial. But then again like you said, if it's not your money...
