Yesterday I wrote here about the jury verdict reached this week in the SEC’s trial against former Chicago Bears wide receiver Willie Gault. I wrote that “the jury found that Gault was not liable on any of the four fraud-related charges against him, but that he was liable on three less serious charges alleging violations of certification requirements and internal control rules.” Indeed, Gault’s counsel stated after the verdict that the Gault emerged from the trial with the “equivalent of a securities parking ticket.”
