[...] we’ve made clear on several occasions in the past, T-Rav is a friend and former client of our founding editor. That means we’re generally disposed to giving him the benefit of the doubt, but this seems [...]

..but you can’t hide.

If Ravenel is convicted of distribution of cocaine, he can serve as much as 20 years in prison. I would say that it is more likely that he will cut a “plea deal” to serve a short amount of time behind bars along with probation.

If Ravenel cuts a “plea deal”, in other words, “pleads guilty” then the Feds should insist that he roll over on a “Bigger Fish” If he does not roll over, then he should do some serious jail time with the rest of the “Cocaine Distributors”.

I find it hard to believe that Sic Willie had no knowledge or idea of this kind of activity. The two are known to “hang out” at various Columbia watering holes. I give Willie credit for sticking by a friend but don’t sully whatever reputation you have by insisting in his innocence.

i beleive my first call would have been to Bart Daniel and if he didn’t pick up Pete Strom…hell hire ‘em both (both former US attorneys)..no knock on Collins, but i don’t think he does criminal stuff, day to day anymore.

Whatever - Collins is a former federal prosecutor

Whatever, Collins has quite a lot of experience in federal court and criminal defense experience, also since he was formerly a U.S. federal prosecutor I think he may be just an ‘incy’ bit better than the average “real estate” attorney.

Why did Ravenel not hire a criminal attorney?? He hired the same guy- Joel Collins- that represented one of the Home Gold guys that is now going to prison. So, I guess if I committ murder, I should hire a real estate closing attorney. I think not!!!!
