"The public prosecutor had argued that the charges should be dismissed because the officials of the Church of Scientology did not benefit personally from the organization's revenues."

Isn't he supposed to be on the other side? :)

Gotta be a mis-print. "Public defender" maybe??

It could be correct, but after the CofS had a little word with him. :)

That does not make total sense. If you convince someone to steal and to turn the whole booty to you, can't he be charged?

Maybe it was all he could come up with! Maybe it means there was no way in hell they didn't defraud people, but unless he could find a justification for dropping the charges then his dog would be killed or career ruined or whatever juicy stuff they found on him.

This is all speculation, of course.
