It's rare to see our justice system produce
so poetic a result.
“Your statement that I have disgraced my judgeship is true. My actions have destroyed everything I worked to accomplish and I have only myself to blame.”
The two judges face up to seven years in prison under a plea agreement made with the state.
If the result were fully poetic, of course, they would not have been offered a plea deal. They'd be railroaded into prison for an excessive period of time, having been kept away from legal representation. They benefit from the prosaic concerns of justice that they so often denied to others, in order to enrich themselves.
We can always hope their fellow inmates find out who they are.

Real justice would involve two wood stakes.
ReplyDelete7 years!!! That's it -- for ruining thousands of kid's and families lives?
ReplyDeleteSeriously?
Like one commenter said, "If they'd taken money from an open cash register they'd have gotten 20 years."

Foxtrot!!
Well, yes Sly, they would have gotten 20 years for robbery. But that's such a plebeian crime. Judges are such a better class of citizen. You can't expect them to actually go to JAIL jail, now can you?
ReplyDeleteAnd for the record, I tried to make the sarcasm drool off that comment, but it's the internet and the written word can sometimes be taken seriously. So in this case, please don't.
ReplyDeletePeople have forgotten how to hate evil.
ReplyDeleteSo long as they keep that up, they will never apply justice or receive its benefits.
