Wilkes Quest for Vindication Continues!

You can’t stop Brent Wilkes; you can only hope to imprison him.

OK, so twelve people didn’t believe him during his turn on the stand. Or as the jury forewoman told reporters: “I really didn’t believe anything he had to say.”

But not to worry, an appeal is in the works. Wilkes’ attorney Mark Geragos (who was shocked by the verdict) said that he’ll soon be arguing that media leaks before Wilkes’ indictment prejudiced the jury. The judge, however, all but said that Geragos should save his energy, because such an appeal would have little chance. The sentencing is set for January 28th, and the judge said that Wilkes will likely go straight to jail.

Meanwhile, Wilkes has another trial to prepare for — this time for his alleged bribes of CIA executive director Dusty Foggo. So stay tuned. Vindication is on its way.
