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.)

My thoughts exactly. Where the hell is the justice? Lawyers, judges, politicians, just keep letting eachother break the law and get away with it. That porosecutor should be in prison too. WTF?

She absolutely deserves to be arrested and prosecuted, but can someone answer me why she is and the Mayor of Oakland Libby Shaaf isn’t? Shaaf if you’ll remember warned illegals CONVICTED of crimes of an ICE raid. So why has Schaaf never been arrested not to mention STILL Mayor? Is California ruled THAT much by criminal foreign invaders?

Trump in charge

2 years ago the head of the Cal senate De Leon said he had helped the illegals in his family come and stay here. No investigation no arrest, no deportations.

Becera the AG of California ordered business owners to not cooperate with ice or face arrest. Why isn’t he in jail?

Trump can’t possibly be worried about votes in California.

Yeah, I don’t know what Trump is doing. It’s crazy, we got more illegals coming in than ever and it’s like he can’t be bothered anymore. I think this whole Barr thing and impeachment talk is taking up all his attention.

could’ve declared the emergency Jan 21, 2017 if Turtle and Ryan refused to fund.

If we see an end to the deep state trying to take care of it’s own like this, it will be a sign that the swamp is truly being drained. Until then, it will continue.

She will skate. Judges, lawyers and politicians protect their own. They all belong to “The Club”

Somebody either got threatened or paid off to lower the charges. Time of a grand jury look-see into this whole affair.

Is the judge confident of acquittal? The plea bargain was about as close to dropping the charges as you can get without dropping the charges.

WTAF.

Time for the hanging to begin. The judge and the USA can share a tree.

You people aren't really that clueless/stupid are you?

His loyalists aren't always loyal. Not to mention being stopped by judges at every turn.

It's like whack-a-mole...And he's trying to herd cats...

Then he has selfish idiots like some of you to contend with too.

Turned it down? Example 593,292,000 of Democrats fighting for every inch. If only the Stupid Party had as much gumption.
