Lustig's counsel, Lloyd Paul Stryker, admitted to the jury that his client had been "delinquent." Nevertheless, he had a defense: Lustig, said he, had voluntarily confessed his delinquency, had paid the Treasury $1,800,000 as a compromise settlement.

For grinning Jimmy Hines and alert Attorney Stryker, it was a masterstroke. In a new trial before another jury the hand of the prosecutor will be lying face-up and the opportunities for cross-examination by Attorney Stryker vastly enhanced. For the "Great Prosecutor" whom Republicans had already slated for the gubernatorial nomination at their State convention this month, it was the humiliation of being caught in an ABC legal error...
