I have never seen a major trial which lacked significant perjury, and I have yet to see that perjury punished.

Can any of you seriously say the Bill of Rights could get through Congress today? It wouldn't even get out of committee.

In America, an acquittal doesn't mean you're innocent, it means you beat the rap. My clients lose even when they win.
