From the land of chowder and championship teams comes a Connecticut defense attorney with a "not guilty" tale. The client? All tough-guy talk on the streets but, as it turns out, it was all just chatter.

In court, the state tried to spin the chatter into criminal intent. Instead, the defense cracked the case wide open, proving that sometimes words are just noise — and not every loudmouth is a lawbreaker.

Because in the courtroom, clams stay shut, but reasonable doubt talks loud.
