...witness interviews. Lawyers who know her say she's an aggressive attorney but has confined herself to work in civil and administrative law, which has looser rules for admissible evidence than in criminal law. The case was "a classic example of too many chefs spoiling the soup," says Larry Barcella, a former assistant U.S. attorney who's handled a number of terror trials...
Wilson does not go so far as to claim it was the CIA that asked him to conspire to kill two of his prosecutors, a charge that stands.

Goldberger called Townley "an animal" and "a man who talks about eliminating people as if they were bugs." Replied Prosecutor E. Lawrence Barcella Jr.: "Then what kind of people are Guillermo Novo and Alvin Ross?" The jurors needed less than nine hours of deliberation to answer that question...
