Lawyers upset over Stolen Valor in DC

No, not the Stolen Valor you think – they’re upset that a lawyer in DC embellished his career by associating himself with the prosecution team that got failed presidential assassin, John Hinckley locked up;

“Mr. diGenova played no role in the trial and did not supervise the case,” Washington lawyer Roger M. Adelman, the lead prosecutor, said in a late-March interview. Mr. Adelman began working on the Hinckley case immediately after Mr. Reagan was shot on March 30, 1981, outside the Washington Hilton Hotel.

Mr. diGenova did not become U.S. attorney until 17 months after the case was tried. At the time of the 1982 trial, he was principal assistant to U.S. Attorney Stanley Harris, who did supervise the case, according to court records and Messrs. Adelman and Harris.

How is that much different from the phonies we expose here? I’m sure diGenova was just expressing his right to speak freely. It probably began as a line to pick up chicks in a bar, so Georgetown law professor Jonathon Turley who defends the rights of military phonies to lie, will be defending this guy on Fox News soon, I’m sure.
