Well, you don’t necessarily have to write “(felon)”, you could just simply write “Democrat”;))

I award her one half of all the assets that this guy should currently be in possession of.

One half of a refrigerator.

Andrea Jefferson learned well from her crook husband. I love the ‘he crooked it while we were married, so I gets half’ mentality. Can’t believe that the injustice department went along with it ... no wait, I lied ... it makes perfect sense in a Holder kinda way.

She is entitled to half of his ill-gotten gains as “restitution”?? How does that work again?

She still has her job at Southern ($72,000 a year)..
and did not miss any pay checks..
It is unfortunate that in these tough times for higher education that the Southern University system continues to pay $72,100 and Mrs. Jefferson continues to accept her salary. This is the type of waste that is plaguing our higher education systems,” Republican State Rep. Cameron Henry said.

State Sen. Julie Quinn, also a Republican, said, “Mrs. Jefferson’s ‘paid leave of absence’ ... doesn’t pass the ‘smell test,’ particularly when higher education has been forced to increase tuition and fees due to budget cuts.”

Jefferson serves as vice president of institutional development. Her responsibilities include marketing, public relations and alumni affairs. The Southern University system would not elaborate on Jefferson’s paid leave, but Brox said such moves are often done to keep executives on staff.

“If she is such an important administrator, you might want to keep her on the payroll to prevent her from leaving and going elsewhere,” said Brox.

And Jefferson’s daughter, Jamila Jefferson, told WDSU it’s paid leave “earned” by her mother: more than 13 weeks of “accrued time off.” The university system would not confirm it directly, but Jamila Jefferson shared an e-mail from the system stating as much.

Here is my understanding.

He has to make restitution for all the ill gotten gains. There were probably assets that were legal.

The wife is entitled to half of the legal assets. The problem rises in determining if the remaining assets are adequate to exceed the total required for restitution. The wife can claim half of what is left after restitution in full.

The source of a specific legal assets account is irrelevant. Restitution must be made from all assets until paid in full.

Nobody is entitled to any part of their partner’s ill gotten gains, unless they also accept an equal part of their sentence as well.
