Description
- Why did the government get a conviction in this case, when it had fared poorly in prior labour market cases at trial?
- DOJ noted in speeches it had learned lessons from those prior cases – what was the secret recipe- tape recordings? Sympathetic victims? Added fraud counts?
- Are juries understanding wage fixing but not “no poach” harm?
