This guy is Brooklyn but I have to say I hate the Staten Island democrats, what a bunch of douchebags.
I’d guess the root of my special disdain for them is how they pollute a lonely Republican oasis in a major city. Did we ever hear if Warren Wilhelm carried the Island? I think he did.
So about this case, the defendant chose not to have a jury trial? Weird.
Even weirder to see an old liberal do something like this. Any chance the poor bastard gets another trial? Doesn’t sound likely at all.
