In all parts of the Country and in most of our "possessions." But innocense in a criminal sense and innocense in an actual sense are two different things entirely. They're guilty both ways, and it's just a matter of time before one of the conspirators cuts a deal & spills the beans. How much time is the question & I have already seen & had discussions about the possibility of buying the rights of those who had 5 of 6 for a lot less than they will eventually be worth. That such a possibility exists tells you something about the state of litigation in this country. In this case, however, there is absolutely no chance that the powers that be would pay these guys unless and until they were ordered to do so by the US Supreme Ct, which isn't going to happen.

P.S. I assume you're either being humorous or haven't seen some of the stories. The original bet Davis entered did not include the winners of the 1st 4 legs. BTW, the Autote story is a depressing and familar one, & it was disheartening to learn that on 9/16 NYRA signed an extension of Autotote's contract to the end of the 2004 fall meet.
