Budd Dwyer please leave the room if this will offend you shirt

Throughout Dwyer’s trial and after his conviction, Dwyer maintained that he was not guilty of the charges for which he was convicted, and that his conviction resulted from political persecution. In 2010, the prosecution’s main witness, William Trickett Smith, maintained that his testimony at Dwyer’s 1986 trial in which he stated that he offered Dwyer a bribe, and that Dwyer accepted this offer—was truthful, and that he had committed perjury at his own 1985 trial when he denied offering Dwyer a bribe.
