Judge Who Helped Illegal Alien Escape Turns Down Plea Deal
2019-05-28
[HOTAIR] When last we checked in on suspended Judge Shelley Richmond Joseph, she was in considerable hot water. Having allegedly conspired with as many as five people to orchestrate the escape of a criminal illegal alien from her courtroom, she was placed in durance vile
Drop the rod and step away witcher hands up!
 and prosecutors didn’t seem to be in the mood to let her off lightly. The charges she’s facing could carry decades of jail time, not to mention the end of her judicial career.

But with a bit more time to think about it, the US Attorney handling the case appeared to have a change of heart. He decided to offer Joseph a deal in which she could avoid criminal prosecution if she admitted her behavior was improper and managed to not get into any more trouble for a year. A pretty sweet deal, eh? Apparently not in the judge’s opinion. She turned it down flat.

#14  Convinced that a jury in a liberal sanctuary state will result in jury nullification of the crime because its they are forced to believe its virtuous to protect criminal illegal garbage from deportation or you suffer public scorn and shame. Pray they can get the trial moved to someplace like Alabama...

#11  Maybe she could hang out with Avenatti there...and Hillary...and Comey...

Yeah, but only if they are all sterilized first.

#10  There are some nice little islands in Alaska where she could enjoy the solitude.

I like that idea, not just for her honor but all kinds of other miscreants. Maybe she could hang out with Avenatti there...and Hillary...and Comey...

Give her a broom and let her keep the runways clear at Shemya to prove she isn't anti-American. She can live in a tent along the apron when not sweeping.

She 'can see Russia' from there.

#7  At the very least, let's not assume her gender, and put her in a male prison.

#4  Counting on her "comrades" too?

Yep - get a sympathetic lib jury in Mass. (apologies for the redundancy) and hope they pull you through. This being a Federal case, however, will lead me to predict the trial will be moved elsewhere.
