Ted Wells Quoted in Corporate Counsel Article
Litigation partner Theodore V. Wells Jr. is quoted in the Corporate Counsel article "Trayvon, Zimmerman, and Prosecutors in the Media Age." The article describes how prosecutors are increasingly influenced by public opinion in this age of immediate information.
Ted's quote, "Twenty-five years ago, an indictment was a legal document. You read an indictment these days - that's the prosecutor's press release right there," was cited from James Rafferty's 2009 book, The Court of Public Opinion.
