In tribute to the legacy of the WNEW-FM DJs who practically raised me (Jonathan Schwartz, Pete Fonatele, Rosko, Dennis Elsas, Scott Muni, Alison Steele, Zacharly) I'll offer Mr. Herman some legal advice:

Since it was a sting and Herman is nearly eighty, the obvious lines of defense are to plead either entrapment or advanced age-related dementia. Except that entrapment doesn't take the better part of a year, and demented people can't plan far enough ahead to get airline tickets. Well, I tried!
