Boston City Councilor Chuck Turner was convicted today in a federal court in Boston on charges that he pocketed a $1,000 bribe in his district office in 2007 and later lied about it to federal agents who were interviewing him.
A US District Court jury delivered its verdict this afternoon, just a few hours into its first full day of deliberations, finding Turner guilty of attempted extortion and providing false statements to FBI agents.

It sucks when this happens... But it does unfortunately happen, even here.
Hopefully, he has a son or daughter that will be on the next ballot.

Good.
How could I have been so gullible to fall for that?

Not only is he corrupt, he is cheap.
How did this guy get elected? Did anyone ever meet him? He’s scary looking.
No mention of party in title, subtitle, first sentence, or first paragraph...therefore its a democrat.
Cheech Marin?

This media outlet apparently didn't think Mr. Turner's political party affiliation was worth mentioning. The name of his political party is also not mentioned, even one time, in the accompanying print story, which is almost 1400 words long.
I'm sure they would have done the same if he'd been a Republican.
Chuckie superfly turner, guilty, LMAO, I bet he didn’t see that coming, LMAO, any bets on how much (if any) time he’ll serve? I’m guessing NONE!
Ah, Diversity! The only white faces in the picture are two TV broadcast guys. Turner illustrates the ongoing black racism against whites and Asians.
We all thought Monica Conyers was such an idiot for only asking for $6K in bribes, but this guy has her beat!
Notice the name of the courthouse from his arraignment, the irony of it all!
Sorry, what do you mean?
Against attorney advice he took the stand and sunk himself when he admitted that he only took 200.00 and he didn’t do anything for it.
LMAO, hope it’s an omen and ALL dems are going down! AND that racist (chuckie’s word)attorney Mike Sullivan wasn’t wrong after all eh Chuckie?? Betcha Moakley and dead ted are rolling in their graves!
