NEWARK, N.J. (AP) - A federal jury has convicted former Newark Mayor Sharpe James and his ex-mistress of corruption stemming from the cut-rate sale of city land.
James was convicted on all five charges he faced, including fraud and conspiracy.
His former girlfriend, Tamika Riley, was convicted on those charges and the eight others she faced, including evading taxes and cheating to obtain subsidized housing assistance for herself.
Sharpe found guilty.
And yet, Bob Torricelli just keeps skipping through life like he ain't got a care in the world he can't have shot and buried.
I’ll take being wrong and surprised like that any day.
Hope we see more of it. There is a loooong list of people who deserve the same fate and worse.
