In response to the prosecution’s argument that ordinary people couldn’t get special treatment for their tickets from traffic court judges, a defense attorney in the Philadelphia Traffic Court trial Friday said “the little people” never “got screwed.”
Angie Halim, counsel for defendant Robert Mulgrew, told jurors in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania during her closing argument that the government’s claims that the average person was “screwed” in traffic court—purportedly because they weren’t connected to the judges—were baseless.
