I hear you. Close call - which is why I suppose courts are finally hammering white collar criminals with blue collar sentences. But I'm still amazed at how society still thinks that white collar guys are getting off these days. It's just not true. In fairness, the prejduice facing a high profile white collar criminal at trial is almost unfair to the point of absurdity. I've had cases in which the juries had their minds made up before openings and it is a bear to turn them around over a period of a month or two. This is simply unfair.
