I don't see how he can uphold the money laundering charges and throw out the conspiracy. The money laundering charges are predicated upon a violation of the campaign finance law, and if there is no underlying crime, then money laundering doesn't work.



But that'll just guarantee that the jury will rule in DeLay's favor in the end.

Southack made a good point in #160.
