No way to go out: Mel Weiss gets 30 months.

Both Scott Greenfield at Simple Justice and the WSJ‘s Law Blog alerted us to Weiss’s sentencing. It’s sad, and not an occasion to gloat, even if our clients and we are no lovers of the Rule 23 bar. The talented and accomplished Weiss is 72. Back in September, we reacted to the Mel Weiss indictment, and to the gulity plea of his former partner Bill Lerach a few days earlier that week.
