Scott Ritter Speaks Out On 2001 Arrest - Offers his first public comments on controversy

WNYT-TV, Albany ^ | January 22, 2003

[Senator Pardek]

And you know if he's done it twice, he's done it more than that.

And he mave been "successful" in some attempts...

[Howlin]

She flat out said that the judge was hired by Bush to do to Florida for the recount and "maybe" that's why this was leaked now, because Ritter is so critical of the president.

[Howlin]

I am shocked at those remarks. Is she always like that?

[Mo1]

"The case was dismissed. Therefore it never happened," Ritter said Wednesday.

never happened????

Something tells me old Scott has been doing this short of stuff for a very long time

This Sick Piece of Crap doesn't think he did anything wrong

[spectre]

Can't get Scott Ritter back...awhhh.

Scott did NOT deny wanting to do the big "nasty". He just said he wasn't charged..and the records are sealed.

He did it! Or wanted too.

No doubt about it. sw

[dead]

It's like it never even happeneded.

[Taffini]

they should address porn-boy's motives not the judges

[Dog]

The Judge was in FLA during the recount??

[Procyon]

The case was dismissed. Therefore it never happened

It all depends upon your definition of "it". Scott did not say, "Nothing happened." And had the case not been dismissed he couldn't weasel out with "therefore..."

We're back to "where were you on the night of...". Or "What was the agreed upon statement of facts that did not rise to the level of criminality which justified the dismissal". Or we could ask, "How much of Saddam's chump change did you have to share with the ex-ADA"?

[The Great Satan]

That's something like saying "I was acquitted so the crime never happened."

It doesn't even rise to that level. Ritter copped a plea: he took counseling in exchange for getting his record expunged. It's not like he ever claimed to be innocent of the charge. Yeah, legally he has no priors, but the reality is he was caught soliciting a minor. Twice.

[Just mythoughts]

well he is dumb enough to say that Iraq is not a problem, and dumb enough to totally change his mind. This whole thing is not adding up.

[spectre]

Yes, she's a smiley faced Liberal Shrill..witch.

sw

[amused]

...and OJ was innocent too...

Not only that, it "never happened".

[baldy]

I've seen quite a few rap sheets over the years and believe me EVERY arrest stays on there even juvenile stuff. So, it's not GONE.

[Shermy]

Catherine Crier suspects this was "leaked" at this time........ha!

Doubtful. Would have been leaked when he was in Iraq, or speaking with the Labor party in England.

I think this is the scenario...Daily Gazette reporter hears rumor locally (amazing it was quiet for so long!). Asks for the court record. Comes to local DA's attention. Fires the assistant who made the secret deal. (There was also a similar local complaint about a secret case against a doctor.) The first stories focused on the firing of the assistant, Ritter just part of the background.

[aristeides]

Has the judge been identified yet?

[Xenalyte]

Maybe he is saying he was set up.

Bitch set me up!

[YaYa123]

Drats! I think Ritter was just on CourtTV, by phone, talking to Catherine Crier. I missed it. When I flipped in, Crier was bemoaning the likely possibility that a Ritter enemy dug up the old information to discredit him. lah dee da Miss Crier...did you do da moan thing when Jane Mayer dug up the decades old info on Linda Tripp?

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

This Sick Piece of Crap doesn't think he did anything wrong

It's the same with all of these pedophiles. The children 'seduced them', don't you know?! My guess is that Ritter found out that Iraq had the goods on him about this perversion, and that explains his switch on the Iraqi WMD!!
