The prosecutor / investigators are forbidden from being 100% truthful about where this investigation started and what evidence they claim to have. What ELSE are they being untruthful about?” etc etc etc…. I think this is reasonable doubt for a lot of drug and white collar crime prosecutions. How much, for example, was gleaned for Martha Stewart’s insider case? How about the recent indictment of SAC Capital? My goodness, I can hear the defense already……..
