Island jail fit for a prince: Posh prison digs offer cable TV, sunset view By Michele McPhee Friday, November 18, 2005 - Updated: 09:51 AM EST

EDGARTOWN – Lawyers for the Saudi prince who pleaded guilty yesterday to a misdemeanor charge – homicide by motor vehicle while operating under the influence of intoxicating liquor – were recently granted a guided tour of the ritzy Colonial house that serves as the Martha’s Vineyard jail so they could determine if it was fit for royalty.

I don't post too often, but this one really burned my buttocks...

[Slings and Arrows]

I'd give him treatment that's fit for a king - Rodney King.

[hiramknight]

Hey, I did it right!! Yeah!!

[LauraleeBraswell]

Rich jails for rich people? That's not justice. This Saudi Prince drove drunk and killed a person and that's what he gets?

Massachusetts had to make that a misdemeanor - otherwise the prisons would be full of Kennedys.

[I'd add a smiley, but I'm not sure I'm joking.]

[hiramknight]

I guess Alah can't see what they do when they're in the states. I thought they weren't allowed to drink?

[Belasarius]

It is unbelievable that this crime is a misdemeanor. What do you have to do to get a felony? Kill more than 1?

[conserv13]

Well, its not like he is being treated special. It sounds like everyone in the jail enjoys the same comforts.

Note to self: If I must commit a crime, do it in Martha's Vineyard.

[conserv13]

Its not just him, its everyone in that jail.

[farlander]

I mean, in his own country, that's a triple death penalty offence. Drinking. Driving. Homicide. !?!?! What the... ?!

What he got was a way-worse deal than that granted that booze-running pro-Hitler racketeer's kid, who's now Taxachusetts' senior senator.

Who got life at the public trough.

I saw a picture of the nice jail this man is going to and there's a sign in front, I kid you not, pointing to...
Chappaquiddick! Speaking of preferential treatment.

Better bring a financial statement demonstrating that you have sufficient net worth.

Have crossies when you say "I'm really, really sorry I beautified Allah's earth by liquidating the infidel dog?"

[raccoonradio]

I couldn't find the pic online but it had a sign in front reading "Edgartown" and "Chappaquiddick". Oh, let me give you a map. Sen. Kennedy is familiar with the area. (Prison is right where it says "Main St"

Can he order out for meals? He and John F'n can share the same cusine but with out the ambiance.

A savings for the County, is the tax rate going down?

[raccoonradio]

Hmm...thought Kerry's home (well, ONE of his homes) is on Nantucket, not Martha's Vineyard.

Pix of Kerry's humble abodes (the Nantucket one is
only $9.1 mil.):

Same County, Dukes, I found it interesting that the prosecutor in the fat boy case just retired as a judge, Ennis?

I find it interesting that Our Lord High Senior Sinitor lives in a rino county.

Hopefully, he too, will meet with an "accident"..
