I made it a point; that I was going to be at the "Opening Statements" for the trial and I was; along with most of everyone's family members. The Fed's Opening Statement was long and what I remember most about their statement is they said; "There's a big difference in these two men; Mr. Lewis and Mr. Mitchell. Mr. Lewis; although he owns a home in the Oakland hills and probably millions of dollars worth of other real estate property and drives a Rolls Royce; you'll often see Mr. Lewis wearing Levi's. Mr. Lewis; he isn't flamboyant as Mr. Mitchell is; Mr. Mitchell is flashy and always wants to be seen." I thought to myself; "damn; these people sure do be paying attention to things when they have you under surveillance." Their Opening Statement was long and boring to me but; the jurors all seemed to be taking and making notes to what was being said.
