Shuval mentioned that the old
saying, 'The rich man does not
get the chair, but the poor man
do?s" is unfortunately true too

He compared the attorney to

signed him because they are
dedicated to the law, he said.
But the amount of money avail-
able to his client does have a
great bearing on how much in-
vestigation can be done and how
many experts can be brought
in.
Shuval indicated, how-
ever, that 95 per cent of times
