Excerpt:
Monica Conyers has just been sentenced to 37 months in prison. She also received 2 years of supervised probation. Just before sentencing, Conyers screamed "If they have their tapes, I have my tapes too. I taped Rayford, I taped Riddle. You'll be fair to me or I want to withdraw my plea."
She also yelled, "What about my children? They did nothing to cause this. All I did was try to help someone I fired."

Gray skies are gonna clear up,
Put on a happy face;
Brush off the clouds and cheer up,
Put on a happy face.
Take off the gloomy mask of tragedy,
It's not your style;
You'll look so good that you'll be glad
Ya' decide to smile!
Pick out a pleasant outlook,
Stick out that noble chin;
Wipe off that "full of doubt" look,
Slap on a happy grin!
And spread sunshine all over the place,
Just put on a happy face!
Put on a happy face
Put on a happy face
And if you're feeling cross and bitterish
Don't sit and whine
Think of banana split and licorice
And you'll feel fine
I knew a girl so glooming
She'd never laugh or sing
She wouldn't listen to me
Now she's a mean old thing
So spread sunshine all over the place
Just put on a happy face
So, put on a happy face
I like the one where she told another councilman he needs to learn to talk to a woman. He said he’ll do that — when he’s with a woman. She actually tried to attack him!
She reminds me of Cynthia McKinney. Yet another person with the temperament and composure of a crack ho getting into office.
I don't think we can even exerpt from them, which is why I didn't post it here.
Yeah, but maybe her cellmate will be William Jefferson (D.LA)
Good Riddance!! Don’t let the door hit you in the be-hind on the way to jail!
She was born a year after he assumed office...gosh a bit of an age diff here...SURPRISE!!!
The media was in the courtroom. There *has* to be a video of her meltdown! I can’t wait to see it, I need a good laugh!
BWHAHAHAHA!!!
I thought they were pushing for 57 months or something. I guess they wouldn’t let cameras in the court room. Pity. She puts on quite a show.
Her kids are probably going “YESSS!”
That’s odd. There’s no indication of her political party in the article. I wonder why.
And be reelected to the City Council after her release.
People have gone to prison for longer after doing less.
forgive my ignorance here but exactly did she do?
Forgive my ignorance, but who is she?
she is a Detriot councilman who is married to US House Rep John Conyers
Don't feel bad, I did too. Then I put on my "cheaters" amd saw it was months.
