takes the money
but then votes to convict anyway and returns the money to the defense lawyer. Later, the initial payment is discovered by investigators. The
lawyer claims that no crime was committed because they didn't get what they wanted--a "not guilty" verdict-and the funds were eventually
returned anyway. Is the defense lawyer correct??
