Justus system protecting its own. Any of us serfs would be left to rot away.

He had to initially be convicted to give the illusion that the system still worked.

 

[Robin]

Yep. No surprise there. Sadly I knew all along that he wouldn't see any jail time. The system is corrupt and needs a good thorough cleaning. At least they didn't cite Mother Earth News, like that is any consolation.

I can understand why someone would go postal. Not that I would do it. This state is beyond belief.

 

[Defilade]

Sickning!

 

[speedkills27]

he should be strung up in the public square

 

[mob732]

FU NY

 

[Chuck D]

Not to say I told you so but....

...and just like Joe Bruno (remember him), his legal defense bills are paid for by the taxpayers of NYS.

 

[livingston]

Could see this coming mile away

 

[Dr. Evil]

Next, Skelos and his POS son.

UN


FUCKING


BELIEVABLE!

 

[Cooolone]

It's real simple...

They don't feed on their own! It's too disgusting for them!

Certainly nothing to note that had anything to do with the $4 Million in kickbacks, just that the judge then should have been paying attention to a Federal Appellate Court ruling when delivering instructions to the jury! So on that note... Why are our Judges ignoring the SCOTUS rulings then?

Fuck these assholes... So tiring...

 

[Dr. Evil]

Funny I mentioned Skelos...http://nypost.com/2017/07/13/sheldon-silvers-corruption-conviction-is-overturned/

"The ruling now calls into question the conviction against ex-state Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos, who was found guilty in 2015 of shaking down more than $300,000 in payoffs and no-show jobs for his son, Adam, in exchange for his influence in Albany.

Dean Skelos — once known as one of Albany’s “Three Men in a Room” along with Silver — was sentenced to five years, while Adam, who was also convicted, got 6½ years.

Appeals of the Skeloses’ convictions are still pending."

Preet said this, "“the evidence was strong” and that he expected Silver “to be retried and re-convicted.”

Could this occur.

 

[VietnamEraVet]

This state is just...fucked beyond the point of no return. UGH!

Yes... And if Preet is right, then a conviction Will make him a 2x loser! Screw em, get to trial right away! I'll even volunteer for that jury!

 

[Day444]

I'll bring the rope!

 

[Airborneguy]

At least he lost his spot. We'd still be dealing with him as Speaker had that case not started. Gotta look on the bright side.

 

[CzechFan]

Makes me want to puke.

 

[ArmedCorgi]

BREAKING: Governor Andrew Cuomo gives himself a raise!!!!

 

[Jmac00]

AND the corruption continues.

 

[Jezman]

I am so suprised. Now knowing who preet really is we should all know it was a dog and pony show to divert the real corruption. Just a staged act to make the crooks in Albany like the bad guys they are really not. We all know they are thugs.

 

[Grimscale]

"The court cited a Supreme Court ruling..."

I don't believe it. Courts around here totally ignore the S.C. We know, we're still suffering under tyranny because of it.

 

[Robin]

Maybe Skretney will weigh in with citations from Harper's Bizzarre.

AND the corruption continues. View attachment 15871

...The Skelos pair..might be the first time I dig the "jury summons" back out from the garbage can...

Weird. Suddenly a lower court decides to give a shit about a SCOTUS decision. What a coincidence.

 

[Arjuna]

One set of rules for us, another for them. makes me want to puke

[togmaster]

This is not any slime ball politician. This is a big fish that literally is getting away with highway robbery. He has been out on bail since the appeal and has never seen a day of jail. Pathetic decision.

 

[ArmedCorgi]

A serious miscarriage of justice.

 

[Doc8404]

He is THE SLIMEBALL.
