Posted By: <b>Jeff Lichtman</b><p>Richard, I appreciate your position and have high regard for you; I also have no problem with Shelly as he has paid his debt to society and made some amends for his prior bad acts.<br /><br />That being said, the fact that an FBI agent would work with him is not necessarily a big deal; federal agents will work with anything and anyone to get a conviction in a case. Trust me, generally they don't think very highly of their cooperators. I can't speak of Shelly's specific situation but in my experience, some of the lowest, lyingest pieces of garbage are used by the feds to make cases.
