From the story: "Sisti said his clients, who are well-known developers, have deep ties in the community and would not flee. He said that under New Hampshire law, it is not illegal to have rope, duct tape, or a gun in a car, as long as the weapon is not concealed."

What a sleezebag of a lawyer ~ this is roughly Guy Fawke's defense ~ that none of the various things he'd done, from taking gunpowder into Parliament, to lighting matches, was a violation of law.

The Brits hanged him anyway for trying to blow up Parliament.

I suspect that when you are in the act of commiting a crime, possessing the "tools of the trade" is probably another count they can use to keep these people in jail for a long time.

>>What a sleazebag of a lawyer

From Portland Press Herald:

>>But Mark Sisti, the ponytailed lawyer who represented Pamela Smart in her 1991 murder trial and represented the Kampfs on Monday, said there is no evidence that any crime was committed, at least in New Hampshire.
