"Paterson has changed his plea to guilty on three of the five counts on the indictment."
Even later update:
It looks as though last week Paterson was planning to plead guilty. He would have still missed the maximum 33% of the tariff deadline which is the pre-trial plea hearing, but he could still have got up to 25% off if he pled guilty when EWE suggested that he was going to.
It would seem that Andy Devine talked him out of it. Pleading guilty on the first day of a trial means the maximum tariff reduction is 10%, although judges are entitled to take a dim view of it and give you none.
Bravo Andy. Bravo!
