Richard Dieter Quotes

Whether this act (lying to agents) fits the federal death penalty law may have been a tougher question without his testimony. Whether his acts a month or months ahead of time directly caused these deaths is a good question. The fact that the defendant himself says they were directly connected doesn't necessarily prove it, but it was enough for the jury.
