The new American idea seems to be: “If I cannot get ahead honestly, much less honorably, I’ll cheat.” The crowd answers, “Good for you.”

Where are the State Bars? Privacy rights? Are they kidding? For somebody who was committing perjury and perpetuating a fraud? Was this jury smoking something?

If everybody knows this happened, why isn’t the local DA prosecuting a perjury case? Three million would go a long way for cigarettes & soap in the slammer.

Illinois DESERVED to lose a neurosurgeon if this is what the state’s system of justice allows.

Hope none of those jurors ever needs one.

And if the lawyer knew about it, same thing. (Jail time too.)
