Just because you win in court doesn't mean you're right:
Lawyer Sentenced in Kickback Scheme - New York Times:
"LOS ANGELES (AP) -- William Lerach, a former partner at a prestigious New York law firm, was sentenced Monday to two years in federal prison for his role in a lucrative kickback scheme involving class-action lawsuits against some of the nation's biggest corporations.
Lerach, 61, was also sentenced to two years probation, fined $250,000 and ordered to complete 1,000 hours of community service."
and
"Lerach, whose high-profile legal victories included a $7 billion judgment against now-defunct energy giant Enron Corp., pleaded guilty in October to one count of conspiracy to obstruct justice and make false statements.
"I pleaded guilty in this case because I was guilty," Lerach said before sentencing. "It was, as they say, felony stupid."
