Judge Who Helped Illegal Alien Escape Turns Down Plea Deal (Shelley Joseph - Mass)
Hot Air ^ | May 26, 2019 | JAZZ SHAW

Posted on 05/26/2019 6:15:40 PM PDT by george76

When last we checked in on suspended Judge Shelley Richmond Joseph, she was in considerable hot water. Having allegedly conspired with as many as five people to orchestrate the escape of a criminal illegal alien from her courtroom, she was arrested and prosecutors didn’t seem to be in the mood to let her off lightly. The charges she’s facing could carry decades of jail time, not to mention the end of her judicial career.

But with a bit more time to think about it, the US Attorney handling the case appeared to have a change of heart. He decided to offer Joseph a deal in which she could avoid criminal prosecution if she admitted her behavior was improper and managed to not get into any more trouble for a year. A pretty sweet deal, eh? Apparently not in the judge’s opinion. She turned it down flat.

...

Shelley Joseph has become an overnight darling of the liberal left for helping a criminal illegal alien escape the clutches of ICE. She would almost certainly be offered some sort of university teaching position, book deals or a spot in a liberal think tank. Heck, for that matter, she could just learn to code. Most of those options would offer her a platform to pontificate and possibly even run for office. (I don’t think the Democrats will hold a couple of felonies against her if it was done for the good of The Resistance.)

Cruel and unusual punishment.

Yes, it is. The type of deal a Conservative would NEVER get.

As the great Boston radio show host Howie Carr would say, “In the halls of justice, the only justice is in the halls”.

A deal has been struck undoubtedly led by the testicle free Mass. Governor Charlie Baker and she walks no matter what happens. She’ll actually probably come financially better somehow when all is said and done.

which she could avoid criminal prosecution if she admitted her behavior was improper

-------------------

The victim is invited to come to court and meet the guy who stole his property or burglarized his house so he can say he’s sorry. If he does this, he gets to avoid prison.
-------------------
"Mr White, this is Felonious Monk, the teen who broke into your house."
"Hey, bro, whazzup!"
"You up the river I hope."
"Hey, chill, homey. Hey, I just wanna say, "my bad," for breaking into your crib."
"That hardly seems adequate."
"Hey, like, I'm just getting started.  Sorry for doing your daughter."
"What?"
"... and spittin' in your work thermos..."
"What?"
"... and putting a key logger on your computer..."
"What?"
"... and logging into your bank to get all your money and spend it on a meth party for my boys."
"Why is this thug only being charged with trespassing?"
"It's part of the plea deal, Mr White.  And now he's free to go."
"Is this what passes for justice in New York City?"
"Yes, it is Mr White.  New York, New York is a hell of a town."
"It sure is."
"... oh, and I be takin' a piss without liftin' the seat, too."

It’s a federal case, not state, ao Baker should not have any say at all. The US Attorney works for the US DOJ. It may be that s/he realizes the political reality of MA where a conviction may be near impossible to achieve.

Lawyers, in this case a judge, are just arrogant. What’s the difference between a dead lawyer in the road and dead skunk in the road? Skid marks in front of the skunk.

why even make such an obviously ridiculous offer? This activist, libturd ‘judge’ made her damn bed. Let her sleep in it.

Unless and until the left is held, firmly, to account, we will have these a$$holes doing the same stuff, and laughing all the way to a socialist America.

Stop coddling them. If they did wrong, make them pay.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What’s wrong with the country is we keep offering deals like this.
Punishing those enabling illegal aliens would discourage this behavior.

Partner, we need to jail all left field out of the park socialists/communists?

We are all sick and tired of these judges rendering these lefty decisions and now we are hearing this Illegal Alien asked to stay in this country.

We need to kick this guy out of our country. These vermin should be in jail awaiting extradition back to Mexico or where ever he comes from and also, tell him do not come back since you will be jailed immediately for at least 5 years and sent back after jail time if we catch you illegally being in this country again, since he has no rights whatsoever.
