Greed Drove Offer to Recant, Lawyers Say
In short order, Widmer [the witness] went from star witness to perjury defendant. Prosecutors dropped the murder charges against [their client] and his attorneys, Richard A. Finci and Debra A. Saltz are now prosecution witnesses against Widmer.
"I believed [Widmer] was lying all the time" about seeing the killing, Finci said.. "All the witnesses I spoke to said 'He's a liar. You can't believe a word he says."
