A Deli Scheme Mastermind's Plea: When Remorse Isn't Enough The $100 million New Jersey deli stock manipulation case has yielded a string of convicted co conspirators, but its final defendant, James Patten, is now seeking leniency.
His lawyer, Adam Brody, argues that Patten deserves no prison time due to his remorse and the relatively short sentence received by one of his co defendants, Peter Coker Sr.
Patten's case is notable given his prior conviction for mail fraud in 2010. He served 27 months in prison for this offense but seemed to have learned little from the experience.
