I don't understand graft. Did you mean gift? In any event, that trial was very Kafkaesque and I wouldn't be surprised if more than a few gifts were made. The CCC should investigate.
Graft, as understood in American English, is a form of political corruption, being the unscrupulous use of a politician's authority for personal gain. The term has its origins in the medical procedure whereby tissue is removed from one location and attached to another for which it was not originally intended.
