Montgomery Blair Sibley, the former lawyer for alleged “D.C. Madam” Deborah Jeane Palfrey has provided Big Head DC with his initial comments on the guilty verdict rendered against her on Tuesday.
Sibley said he’s “disappointed, but not surprised” by the verdict, and added that he has not yet spoken to Palfrey. He does anticipate that there will be an appeal.
Preston Burton, Palfrey’s current lawyer who once represented Monica Lewinsky, has instructed his client to remain mum on the verdict, but she did let out an audible gasp when it was read in court.
Palfrey was found guilty of racketeering, money laundering and two counts of using the mail for illegal purposes. Sen. David Vitter is believed to have used what Palfrey has always maintained is a “fantasy” escort business.
Burton called no witnesses in Palfrey’s defense, and she did not take the stand.
