Orrin Hatch: “Let us make it clear. If Maggie Williams, to use the distinguished Senator's illustration, is not indicted, she is…”

On the recordMay 7, 1996
Let us make it clear. If Maggie Williams, to use the distinguished Senator's illustration, is not indicted, she is entitled to attorney's fees reimbursement. If she is indicted, she is not. If she is indicted and she is tried in a court of law--and I do not mean to pick on Maggie. The Senator used the illustration. Let us use just a hypothetical. Let us say ``A'' is indicted. They go to the criminal trial, and ``A'' is convicted. We are not going to pay the attorney fees in that situation. But let us say ``A'' is acquitted, then I think it is an appropriate thing for us to come at that time and see what we can do to right the wrongs that were there.
