Here in Detroit they've been fawning over this guy for the last day.

What sort of news coverage has he been getting in Detroit?

If you'll recall, he was acquitted because it was determined that the
gov't resorted to entrapment.

Was DeLorean a liberal? I don't recall him being political at all.

Did he get off entirely or did any charges stick? I mean, was he ever
found guilty of any lesser charge than the primary one?

Nope; he wasn't involved in cocaine smuggling, because the government
was merely buying drugs from itself through him. No smuggling nthere.

Nope - that's not a technicality.

He was in fact innocent.

courses for the real killer!

Nobody can withstand the force of the government if it decides you need
to be smacked down. It HAS to follow all the rules, no matter how
"technical" they might be. That's what judges and juries are for.

Never can tell when you'll find some of those razor sharp golf-balls.
You know, the ones like ninja throwing stars except you hit them with a
golf club. Then it's just a simple matter of back-tracking.

Did the guy's dad ever get to smash OJ's football trophy?

Entrapment means the crime would not have occurred without the police
(or their paid informants) providing truly extraordinary temptation.
It's awfully hard to convince a judge and jury of that, so if they
believe it, I believe it too.
