About four or five years ago, I believe. Anderson's been in contempt of court since then, as he's refused to testify against his client, or in any capacity regarding the situation without complete immunity (at least, that was his opening position), among other things.
The fact that the government's entire case rests on this guy's testimony, and he's not cooperating, combined with the treatment he's received (he essentially lived in jail for the better part of two years, as he'd been held in contempt, etc..) just makes me unsympathetic to the righteousness of their case.
All of that is kind of irrelevant, though. The judge has decided to make Mr. Anderson's position one of assumed guilt, and has brought in corroborative testimony to support that position. Simply jailing him (as is legal and acceptable under the circumstances) wasn't enough, so now we(meaning the judge) have to try to prove him guilty of...something.
