Hi Todd-
Thanks for sharing this update.Jaime has always been a good egg in my
book and a damned talented craftsman when it
Jaime is a very talented restorer
he is also an admitted forger
sadly, one talent overshadows the other... and it isn't the good one

The thing is, Jamie publicly *confessed* to making the fakes and
provided the prosecution with a list of the items he created. Whether
his cooperation with the prosecution now gets him removed from the
lawsuit or some other considerations doesn't change the fact that -- by
his own admission --
For what it's worth, Jim Morrison (The Doors) alluded to The Scream Of
The Butterfly in his song When The Music's Over. He later said that in an
interview that the title of this film was the origin of the image in his
mind. Just some worthless non-poster knowledge...
Was Michael Jackson ever guilty? Most said yes even after his court shananagans
were dismissed. Doesn't change the fact he is the king of pop.
The law is an ass, always has been, always will be. My sister is now a lawyer

Gee, why did I predict this one? The fact that he produced the fakes is
not enough under the law to convict him. FRANC

I think the point is if the fakes were produced that is one thing, it is when
they are sold for a profit without description as fake that is another. If
Jaimie sold them without describing them as reproductions then he is in breech
of the law, if he was contracted to produce them for a third

It seems some of us are not listening.
Jim Gresham said the case WAS NOT dismissed, just taken out. For now. Why
are all the legal experts already trying to rationalize his legal
innocence.
Adrian, Is the forger of fake dollar bills innocent because he just created
them? He may claim he

There lies the dichotomy...did the forger know what was going on with those
fakes?
In the eyes of the law he has to be proven guilty. We all have an inkling of
why he was doing those fakes, they were for his client...what his client does
with them is up to the client.

Forging American currency is illegal, in and of itself. Making copies of
original posters is not illegal in and of itself. That's the difference.
Trying to pass off copies of original posters as original is what's
illegal.

No kidding. We know that. The law IS different in both cases and that's
how crooks(not talking about anyone specific) take advantage. Don't you see
there is something wrong here?
I don't have the answers, I'm just asking questions.

The closest analogy which I think this can best be compared to is this...

If I go into a gun shop and purchase a gun legally and on the paperwork I state
that I'm going to use the gun for hunting purposes, but then I
In this instance the gun dealer and manufacturer are one and the same.
And the question is, should a gun dealer continue to sell guns to someone they
know is killing people with them?
