Brent Wilkes, Scott Peterson, Susan McDougal, Anthony Mark Bianchi

What do all these people have in common?

They were/are represented by Mark John Geragos of Geragos and Geragos. Thats right all the forenamed criminal defendants were/are represented by the same attorney the two Dhaliwal brothers immediately retained. When was the last time you could remember someone retaining a high-profile criminal defense attorney for an incident that allegedly didn't involve a crime?

According to the Union Tribune:

Federal probation officials are recommending that Brent Wilkes, the Poway defense contractor who was convicted of bribing former Rep. Randy “Duke” Cunningham, should be sentenced to 60 years in prison, according to court records.

TPMmuckraker says this about it:

Wilkes' lawyer Mark Geragos knows this is bad news, and so has asked for extra time to prepare a counter-argument. Among the things he objects to: the recommendation was based on the assumption that all $90 million of Wilkes' federal contracts were the result of bribing Duke Cunningham. Not so, says he (even though the jury convicted him on all thirteen counts). At least some of that he got fair and square. We look forward to him fighting that out.
