My colleague Bill Klein, who knows a lot about corporate law, writes:
Maybe the moral of the story is not that you should refuse to talk to investigators without a lawyer’s advice, but to be careful about your choice of lawyer. Alan Dershowitz, in the morning’s WSJ, notes that [Martha Stewart] did consult with her Wachtel, Lipton lawyers before she told the fatal lie. So rich and poor are equally free to receive bad legal advice.
Either that, or fail to act on good legal advice.
