Pratt's decision not to testify marks a sharp and mysterious departure from her prior conspiracy trial for allegedly steering hundreds of thousands of dollars to members of the fabled Jefferson political family. Last time, she won a mistrial after swearing she didn't know what Mose Jefferson, her "very secretive" boyfriend of two decades, and his relatives were up to, and arguing that she wasn't obligated to investigate.

She knows him for 20 years and had no clue what he was up to? Yeah, right.

How could she possibly resist free money.
