Amazingly, Biden’s Niece Avoids Prison for Hitting Cop
New York Magazine ^ | 2/5 | Adam Martin

Posted on 02/06/2014 9:28:07 AM PST by nickcarraway

Joe Biden's niece, Caroline Biden, got into some trouble with the law last fall, getting herself arrested after taking a swing at a cop who responded to a call about a fight Biden got in with her roommate. But because no cops were injured, prosecutors agreed to let her avoid jail and to dismiss her case if she stays out of trouble. Biden wasn't in court (she's at an inpatient facility for "her issues"), but her two lawyers "presented a sworn affidavit indicating she would accept the offer."

Hmm. I was thinking it looked the right size for a fifth of booze.

That’s a jail rig, I do believe.

Well if I had to go to family functions with Uncle Joe I’d probably want a stash of oxy too, LOL.

The liberal elite has taken special privileges for itself, and looks down at the normal people who pay for their lavish lifestyle.

I have a friend who is an ER doc and also works with the FBI.

They did a major “takedown” on the local Outlaws motorcycle gang. He said half of them were on oxygen for COPD, diabetic insulin, etc.

It's standard procedure to accept going into rehab instead of jail time unless the crime was so severe it can't be forgiven. Personally, I'd rather have a family that can afford pay the bill to get a first offender off the streets rather than have that person subsidized in a prison.

It's up to the judge to make sure the rehab facility has a good track record, responsible programs, and isn't a country club.

Joe Biden’s son and brother stole US$110 million from investors in NYC through a hedgefund ponzi scheme, and they were never even investigated properly. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/08/23/AR2008082302200.html

Why would you think any Biden would ever see the inside of a jail cell?

the place she went is $35,000/month.

Pools, gym, spa, etc.

There was a thread yesterday about it.

“the place she went is $35,000/month.”

I wonder if her Obamacare is covering it?

I’ll cut her some slack. She could have been drunk, high or on some medication that made her take that swing. Plus, she has to live with the fact every day that her uncle is a moron who is helping to destroy the country. That’s a lot of “issues” for any young woman.

One way or another, it’d be a safe bet the taxpayers are picking up the tab.

It’s legal representation inequality and it must be righted by nationalizing all attornies and making sure their services are always affordable. Imagine if the GOP tried to do to the trial liars what the Dems have succeeded in doing to the doctors under the guise of fairness and affordability.

Yes, because that’s what would have happened to ANY of us that took a swipe at a peace officer...

Actually, in NYC that is exactly what would have happened to ANY of us for a simple assault of a police officer that did not involve the use of an illegal weapon or intent to kill or cause serious bodily harm or was tied to some other serious crime like robbery.

Why is that amazing?
