I assume this was not admitted in trial? Or was it.

This article, from last August, is a must read.

Detore didn't testify at the trial. Given that he would take the 5th, the judge wouldn't allow him on the stand. And I don't believe this was admitted as evidence because there's no possibility Detore could be cross-examined.

"...a must read."

Reads more like a depositon by a non-attorney...and a very self-serving one at that. Even at that, I don't see where it exonerates Traficant in the slightest, although it may provide grounds for some sort of appeal if Detor's testimony was critical in convicting Traficant.

PJ...I didn't follow the trial closely at all, did Detor testify? And if he did, was his testimony critical in convicting Traficant. If not, how does this transcript provide any proof of Traficant's innocence?

W, you're working too hard. You can take me off your ping list. I'm pretty good at finding what I need and you're half of my comments (I'm a lonely guy, but not too lonely).
