The Alan Gell case here in North Carolina makes that clear, when the former Attorney General favored withholding evidence from poor defendants.
Move along. Nothing to see here.
Just make her return every last penny that she made from the ImClone stock, plus a 25% fine. That would serve as a good “crime doesn’t pay” warning.
