"DC Madam" Deborah Jeane Palfrey convicted of racketeering

Madam," Deborah Jeane Palfrey, was convicted of racketeering, use of mail for illegal purposes and money laundering in connection with the operation of her claimed escort service. Jurors clearly believed the claims of federal prosecutors and numerous witnesses that Palfrey's operation was, in actuality, a high-end prostitution ring. Ironically enough, Palfrey was never charged with and never convicted of any direct prostitution charge.What was striking for all the initial headlines about the scandal is how low-key the actual trial turned out. Aside from the occasional notable witness and the raunchier than the usual testimony, the mechanics of the court trial turned out to be all too routine. The end outcome proved a virtually assured eventuality. ----Relevant links: Washington Post, AP via Washington Times
