Berry, now a D.C. Council Member, allegedly awarded a $15,000 city contract to Donna Watts-Brighthaupt, his then-girlfriend. Berry allegedly forced Watts-Brighthaupt to return portions of the payment.
Professor Butler addressed a number of legal issues, including the likelihood that Berry will be criminally charged. Butler also addressed Berry's previous trials, including a drug possession charge which resulted in a hung jury, likely as a result of jury nullification.
