In being released from prison after pleading guilty to filing a false tax return and conspiracy, Ed Norris, former Baltimore, Maryland police commissioner, spoke with reporters. He described a meeting he had with two former U.S. Attorneys in Washington with his lawyer prior to his guilty plea. He laid out the government’s evidence, telling them that he had repaid his father $9,000 that he’d been given as a gift to buy a house. According to Norris, one of the U.S. Attorneys said:
'That's the head shot.' I said, ' What?' She said, 'That's the head shot, as we call it, that's what they're going to use to kill you. You're going to get indicted for bank fraud, they're going to pepper the indictment with all kinds of stuff, and you're going to have a lot of trouble.'
