[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 346386, member: 2426"] If you have a zealous prosecutor, as it appears there are in this case: They could put friends on the stand who say you are an avid sports fan and pay attention to this athletes school's teams. They could put enemies on the stand who would say that you would never stop to help a frail old lady with her car. It would then be up to you to prove that you didn't know that this person was an athlete, or that you would indeed stop to help similar motorists even if they weren't athletes. In general laws, and especially federal laws are intentionally vague. There was an article several years ago in the Wall Street Journal that basically said that IF a federal prosecutor took an interest in any person in the country, that they could put together some set of facts that would violate a federal law. I feel as though that is what has happened in this case. The facts, although seedy and immoral, don't actually fit a violation of law. However, the prosecutors have cobbled together several things in order to present it as a fraud and bribery case. [/QUOTE]
