: Outside Counsel

By Bill Altreuter

Here's a guy who is charged with jury tampering because he hands out pamphlets advocating jury nullification in front of the Federal courthouse in Foley Square.He is obviously a Grade A crank, but this prosecution is, to use a technical legal term, bullshit. Seriously, Preet Bharara, this is something you feel ought to be prosecuted? You reckon this rises to the level that justifies bringing the force of the Department of Justice down on this guy? This is disgraceful, and I hope Magistrate Judge Ellis bounces it. I can't believe that the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York can't find bigger fish to fry.
