stripe.
we are all churning the legal concepts at this point.
i'm a lawyer, in japan. working in immigration law.

many years ago some people i knew were in the marijuana smuggling business.
about 20 years later the DA in miami filed charges against 70 co-conspirators. top on the list was pablo escobar, the second name on the list was my old band manager. probably half the others i knew. he spent 5 years in federal prison before the guideline requirements. the other half i knew all got 15 or 30 years in federal. doing 85% of their time.
i was NOT part of that ring. as everybody that ever knew me, knows i was against that crap.
but what is worth noting from that case is two things.
one - SOL did not apply when the DA came up with a scheme to say that a 500 dollar drug debt was paid 20 years later, so it brought the entire case retro.
it was moved to gainesville. need i say more?
second, the DA had NOTHING, but once they ran with this, and used their intimidation, every one that had something to hide and something to gain rolled on others.
oh, roy black was my managers attorney.
today my old manager has federal contracts and has a great life.

points...
1) SOL is dissolved with barker investing in drug rehabs.
2) what old staff members facing federal crimes would not rollover to become state witnesses.
its the way the game works.
we can discuss this further.

unlike the robber barons.
one sister has a classic nearly undriven mustang and the other land to sell.
some other people offered money.
but, from some of the posts, it looks like the defense might try to make an offensive move.

i really think this is a great movie.
i am friends, and have worked with both alan sacks, and jeff levine in hollywood. two big producers.
there is plenty of money in this from a movie deal.
whether is is a fantasy scenario, as i depicted, or a realistic movie.
it is a sure fire hit.
you know as well as me, that what it takes to make a name for yourself as a lawyer, is a great case. something novel.
this is that.
