I'm not sure if this is the most effective defense employed ever, but it seems that former Assemblyman Van Pelt is willing to go down saying everyone was doing it. His attorney is saying that he was acting as a consultant and that the $10,000 cash payment he received is a regular occurrence apparently:"It happens all the time in Ocean County," Fuggi said If I'm the prosecution and this is the defense they're going with, I'm asking Van Pelt to name names. He is equating a $10,000 "consulting" fee made as a cash payment and no documentation, with a $50 wedding fee essentially. I don't think that goes on all the time and if it does, Van Pelt needs to start singing because that would be even more of a sad commentary. Jury selection for his trial begins today. |
