They will let him plea really low and retire with his pension.

Does The Turtle have connections to these Great Americans?
His name was CONN!?!?
I rememember hearing about this type of thing some time ago-———all the families were getting checks for learning disabled kids-——which the kids called “crazy checks”.
The government can be so damned stupid.
The IQ test qualification for lifelong government support, along with being suspect to start with, seems like an easy thing to game. Either you are stupid or you should be smart enough to fake stupid in taking such a test.
I think a show like 60 Minutes covered this guy a few years ago. Whatever he’s done, multiply it by 1000 and it might start to reflect what goes on every day across the country.
There are thousands of able-bodied people who consider it, in their area and peer group, a badge of honor to get on lifetime disability, better than getting an award or diploma (or paycheck), since they’ve screwed the system. All on our dime.
A lawyer in my neck of the woods was in cahoots with a local doctor. The doctor was giving the lawyer’s clients bogus medical check-ups to get them on Social Security disability.
The lawyer was caught and he was sent to prison for ten years! Just kidding! In actuality, the lawyer paid a small fine, and he’s back on TV running ads. “We’ll get you all the benefits you deserve!”
Oh, did I mention that the lawyer is also a county politician?
Conn job! This guy was well Conn-ected.
I still think that 1,700 number is too light. I’m from that area and I know people who are friends with Eric Conn. Most if not everyone back there are Democrats and the only reason Conn is even made it to trial this time is because obama has caused a lot of those people to vote republican. Because of this the state legislator for that area was finally defeated very narrowly and the Ky commonwealth legislature leadership finally changed hands to the republicans. We even have a surprise republican governor. Now that the republicans are finally in charge, a lot of the corruption in the system will not be overlooked.
Great name for the POS. Conn = Convict.
Funny, not ONE WORD on Civil Asset Forfeiture, the Government should have already SEIZED 100% of their Assets as Profits of a Criminal Enterprise.
Just the tip of the iceberg.
Everyone getting disability benefits should be required to recertify their disability every year or two - using a different doctor every time!
A lawyer named Conn?
Sounds like another poorly written SNL skit.
as a social security disability recipient I can tell you that the program is littered with fraud. the biggest problem being people who qualify as disabled and then work under the table making money. they do this by working for the same type people that hire illegal aliens. this could be doing construction or any other other job that has a tendency to be filled by illegal aliens. to me this would indicate they should not be on disability to begin with.
Those disability lawyers you see on TV are raking it in without illegally scamming. The ones who say “we’ll do everything for you”. I know an honest disability lawyer who gives clients a free consultation. He always tells them to file their own application, keep seeing your own doctor, and keep any appointments SS makes to see theirs. About half the applicants are approved without anything else, so the lawyers keep 20% of their award for the time since they filed until they are approved for filling out an application. He tells them just call him if they are turned down and he’ll file an appeal, otherwise they don’t need a lawyer.
Imagine if the framers of the Constitution hear about a federal government program to give free money to people for the rest of their lives because they had a note from a doctor saying that they aren’t right in the head, that their brain is wired improperly.
It’s disgusting that the program even exists. If the money could only be spent for in-patient care, I’ll bet that well over 90% of the recipients would suddenly be cured.
The crazy money gravy train must end.
