  • Shlemiel, Schlamazel defense

    From the court reporting so far he said for the most part “I didn’t know what the people I hired under me was doing. I wasn’t paying attention. I made mistakes.”

    This is the shlemiel, schlamazel defense. It might work if he was being tried in the Catskills but the Midwest juries are not Hamish and won’t buy it.

    A sympathetic judge at sentencing is his only chance for mercy.

    The title of this article is quite misleading. The trial is not over until the verdict is in or the case is otherwise finished. The testimony has finished, but the jury has not yet even started deliberations.
