Lance's activities, and those of Co-Defendants Richard Carr, Thomas Mitchell and H. Jackson Mullins, were not all that complex. While his friend and client Billy Carter was said to be "kiting" checks, Lance was apparently kiting banks. He played the game with a series of unsecured loans, the Government charges, borrowing from one bank to pay off another; his relatives and associates took out more than 383 loans from more than 40 banks.

Under a rarely applied California law, a court may require the state to pay attorneys' fees "in any action which has resulted in the enforcement of an important right affecting the public interest." The right in this case, of course, is to sue a live-in mate for "palimony." Local lawyers say chances are slim that the state will foot Mitchelson's bill. Even...
