Constitutionally Sound?

Gelman said he does not believe a second trial is constitutional or that the Pennsylvania legislature had any authority to authorize it.

"I think we have a very sound legal position," Gelman said.

Gelman said he has not been formally retained by Einhorn for a second trial, but has maintained close contact with him.

"I'm not going to meet the plane when it lands. He'll go to a jail, and I'll go to the jail" to talk with Einhorn, Gelman said.

Prior to his re-trial Washington, Einhorn was the focus of attention as a bill was introduced by Rep. Dan Miller (R., Fla.) to try to assure more cooperation from foreign countries that are home to U.S. fugitives. The bill would require the president to submit a list of "uncooperative" countries. It provides for yanking foreign aid to those countries, and would make it a crime for people to aid fugitives fighting extradition. High-ranking officials from "uncooperative" nations could also be denied visas, under Miller's bill.

This bill was passed and subsequently dubbed "The Einhorn Law", which is something I plan to dive in to at some point.
