From "The Secret Wars of Judi Bari," by Kate Coleman (San Francisco: Encounter Books,
2005, p. 220)

"Sutley was telling the truth, Gehrman at last concluded....His views were bolstered by the
results of a voluntary 1994 polygraph test administered to Sutley in Los Angeles by former
Secret Service agent Joseph Paolella, a licensed polygraph examiner. The polygraph test
arranged at the behest of private eye Jan Tucker, a longtime friend of Sutley's whom he
knew when both were stalwarts of the Peace and Freedom Party. The examiner asked four
questions...."

Excerpts from Games Lawyers Play:

"MALPIZZANCE: that combined form of Malpractice and Malfeasance in which an attorney
solicits his innocent clients to commit crimes in order to pay his or her legal bills."

"Everybody told me that I was crazy to actually try to get the law applied the way it says it is
supposed to be applied, since the prosecutor is only theoretically no more above the law
than the accused."

"When the governor left office, he rewarded his bag-man, a close associate of a Hungarian
mafia crime family, with licenses to operate lucrative 'traffic schools' and 'DUI schools.'"
