So wouldn't the fact that they have that second line of defense all ready to go imply that they
know the first-line of defense isn't going to hold up?
I really don't understand how someone can simultaneously hold both
"no, we did not collude" and
"OK we colluded but felt we had no choice" positions. Besides... the second isn't really a defense, it's a mitigating factor for reduced charges or a lesser sentence.
