ORIGINAL: DomKen The tapes prove she lied. She was asked for an estimate of how much money and said she had no idea while she previously had told George 155k in code. Once again - That previous conversation was four days prior. There is no evidence that she had a current estimate. She did, also, offer to get the individual on the phone who could answer that. Also, estimates are subjective, and thus a perjury conviction could not be sustained on that alone. Yes, the answer was evasive; she was obviously trying to hide something. Hence, why I've never thought Lester was out of line for revoking bond or being upset at being misled. But that in itself is not perjury. quote:
I'm 100% positive her lawyer told her she was going to be convicted if it went to trial so take the plea. If the case was as bad as you claim they would have sought a straight dismissal and they didn't. I disagree, and have explained why. No one has yet to give a convincing argument otherwise. No. the convincing argument is that she lied under oath, got charged with perjury, accepted a plea bargain to a misdemeanor charge of perjury and allocuted in court that she committed perjury. Now, someone just needs to actually prove what statement was a perjurious statement with the evidence that shows it was. Then there might be a convincing argument. That hasn't happened yet. If there was no perjury why didn't the defense attorney file for a dismissal due to lack of evidence? Certainly he didn't fail to exhaust his pre trial maneuvers before advising his client to accept the plea since that would be malpractice.
