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."
2:10 p.m.
If you thought the stress of the day’s events may have softened Monica Conyers’ notorious temper, you’d be wrong.
Minutes before she’s sentenced by Judge Avern Cohn, Conyers was upset to see that friends and family members of hers were not being allowed inside the capacity courtroom. Conyers rushed over to two court security guards, urging them to let in two of her aunts and her minister.
“I gotta get my family members,” Conyers said.
Eventually, the guards relented. At least 20 people—including friends, family and several member of the media—were turned away.
At just past 2:00 p.m., Conyers’ attorney Steve Fishman entered the courtroom.
There has been no sighting of Conyers’ husband, Representative John Conyers.
This is like straight out of an episode of HBO's The Wire!
Man, Democrats just keep taking hit after hit after hit these days. The corruption slime just oozes down the streets in every major metro area in America.
Ironically, U.S. Congressman John Conyers—the husband of Monica Conyers—has an office in the very same building where his wife will be sentenced today. A John Conyers staffer would not say whether or not the Congressman would be in attendance for today’s hearing, or if he would be in his office.
In and around Detroit?!
Surely you jest!
They'll just elect someone else who hasn't been convicted ... yet.
What a thug. All those college degrees, undoubtedly helped along by Affirmative Action, and this is what we get.
For some odd reason I don't see an R being elected from the same ward as Mrs Conyers. Even though this is Detroit, a place where integrity, honor, and virtue are a way o'life.
Other than that, Miz Conyers, how was your day?
**Snort!* Just awesome, Nervous Tick, just awesome...:) That made my day!
Thanks, she is some piece of work.
Monica Conyers is getting used to wearing orange.
One has to wonder how much Conyers’s husband, U.S. Rep. John Conyers of the same unmentionable party, knew about his wife’s extra income source.
So long Monica! Hope your husband is able to join you while you're away!
Federal courts generally do not allow cameras, unfortunately.
Doubt he has the energy for it at his age. When they married in 1990 he was 61 and she 25.
...sentenced to 37 months in prison. She also received 2 years of supervised probation... 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... What about my children? They did nothing to cause this. All I did was try to help someone I fired."I'm sure she'll make probation, unless Rayford and Riddle take her seriously. Thanks Kieri.
But ... isn't that part of the job description?
I suspect he was as far away from that Bldg. and the media as possible since he missed house votes last night as well as this morning.
John Conyers’ committee oversees federal prisons.
