Someone who works in a country illegally for 8 years without paying a dime of tax isnt exactly a model citizen.
I find it hard to believe that a defence lawyer would lie. At the same time i'm scratching my head as to why documents were leaked.

You have the govts view and her lawyers view. Some where in between is the truth. It's that truth that i would like to see.

Martin herself was convicted on infered evidence as there was no direct link to her and the crime. Add to the fact the onus is on the defence to prove innocence, it's no wonder the judge sided with the prosecution. Guilty beyond reasonable doubt doesn't seem to apply to mexican law.

As for her working illegally, get her for back taxes owed.
