He had high powered attorneys who convince the jury that he was entrapped. Despite seeing a video of him holding a large supply of cocaine and saying that it was worth more than gold.

After his acquittal he did not pay his attorneys.

Donald Trump now owns what was the DeLorean estate here in NJ.

I remember it well, the LAT covered the trial and I was involved in the race car biz at the time. A few of his cars came into the shop. The DeLorean, compared to a Merc-Benz 300SL, was not a comparison. It was merely a kit car, with gull-wing doors, assembled by a factory. I don't think that anyone who ever bought a DeLorean even understood the engineering reason that Merc-Benz gulled the doors in the 300SL coupe. It wasn't for looks. I never thought the Deloreans worth the money. No wonder DeLorean considered selling drugs for thrills. His car, IMHO, certainly didn't give any.

Now that is funny.

One thing I remember is that DeLorean had considerable plastic surgery to harden his facial features, give him a "stronger" chin, angle his face, etc., in order to look like a prototypical "movie star" business executive.
