Well, i checked out his cases...and guess what!

His criminal defense cases were for corporations and businessmen who were charged with crimes that hurt the little people. He brags how he won for them.

Am I shocked? No, but I am sickened.

Representative Engagements

In previous cases, Jesse has:

Represented an individual in a month-long federal trial concerning allegations of financial crimes and election fraud;
Defended pharmaceutical companies in investigations concerning alleged violations of anti-kickback and other statutes;
Counseled healthcare companies in internal audits and external investigations regarding manufacturing practices;
Defended an individual charged with illegally selling products in a foreign country;
Represented a healthcare provider in a dispute over the confidentiality of records, including arguing the appeal before the Indiana Supreme Court;
Advised a petroleum producer in a regulatory proceeding concerning allocation of proceeds from the Alaskan oil pipeline;
Represented a national railroad in a multimillion-dollar contract dispute with a customer;
Counseled a trade group in a dispute with the United States Patent and Trademark Office;
Defended a financial services company against government efforts to obtain its records through subpoenas; and
Represented municipalities in acquiring land for public use, including airport expansion.

I was VERY interested about HOW Barrett's husband could be a "criminal defense" attorney as I had read. I am a retired atty and my law partner was a major criminal defense atty with published opinions. He also was a card carrying member of the ACLU, life-long liberal Dem.

Sooooooo, i just had to find out about the husband. IMO, he is a corporate crook enabler...at best!
