Jim,

"I don't think it's fair or correct to glorify JZD's acquittal." 

Not to go on about this but from what I've read about JZD's case he only continued on with the deal because his Daughter's life had been directly threatened if he attempted to back out. When our government goes bad it isn't often we can clear the victims names and this is one time it had a happy ending.

I agree with Vegas, though one part of this post i thought was kind of
naive.

I don't think it's fair or correct to glorify JZD's acquittal. All
things considered, he did attempt to commit unlawful acts. JZD
"knowingly and willlingly broke the law". He was lucky enough that the
manner in which he was caught was determined to be entrapment.
