I then called an attorney, Brad Edwards, around June 2008, understanding that he was hired to get the prosecutors to talk to us and hear the truth from me. That was especially important t

I hired Mr. Edwards to let them know that I was cooperative and ready to tell them all of the helpful information I had. I understood that Mr. Edwards did that. I aut

under oath at the state sentencing." See DE 361, Statement of Undisputed Fact 80 (not disputed by the Government).
