Ok Bill, How would you have handled the situation differently? Given the exact same set of circumstances, I think any one of us would have agreed to the drug deal if we thought our life, or those we cared about were in jeopardy. -Josh From: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of content22207 Sent: Monday, October 24, 2011 1:49 PM To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [DML] Re: JZD and the Cocaine Sting JZD was captured on videotape agreeing to the drug deal, then drinking champagne in celebration. Those images will never go away. That is why the drug controversy shadows DeLorean owners to this day. Like it or not, the man did say "yes."

In fact, he had a lot to lose if the deal fell through so it is not hard to imagine him pressuring JZD to go through with the deal. The handler himself had a lot riding on making this case. This is exactly how they moved up in the chain, successful high profile prosecutions. The jury saw this and is probably one of the main reasons they threw the case out. You can say JZD's greed, arrogance, and pride did him in. He probably knew what he was getting into but saw no other choice. In the back of his mind he must have thought he could manipulate the situation to his advantage. > David Teitelbaum > > --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:dmcnews%40yahoogroups.com> , Nick Kemp <nkemp@> wrote: > > > > If you were looking for a "Get Out Of Jail" card, would you go to Larry > > Flint?
