As far as I can tell, the statements that actually were made under oath don't add up to anything near probable cause.supercathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12531904492602532373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9864334.post-1158926522088523722006-09-22T08:02:00.000-04:002006-09-22T08:02:00.000-04:00It's not impossible that with a competent attorney...It's not impossible that with a competent attorney, he might even get acquited.
