Scott Ritter Speaks Out On 2001 Arrest - Offers his first public comments on controversy
WNYT-TV, Albany ^ | January 22, 2003

Posted on 01/22/2003 2:30:38 PM PST by Shermy

ALBANY, N.Y., Jan. 22 - Until now, former U.N. weapon's inspector Scott Ritter has declined to speak about allegations he was arrested in an Internet sex sting 19 months ago. However, NewsChannel 13 reached Ritter by phone Wednesday and for the first time he discussed the arrest and the sealed court documents.

...snip...

"The case was dismissed. Therefore it never happened," Ritter said Wednesday.

"I stood in a court of law, before a judge and an assistant district attorney, and they dismissed it," he added.

But the court of public opinion has a different view. The story of Ritter's arrest and the subsequent dismissal of his case first broke over the weekend and dominated headlines in the days that followed.

"I am deeply saddened [by all of the media attention]. Not by anything I've done though."

Ritter refused to speak to NewsChannel 13 on camera. When offered the chance to tell his side of the story on television, he replied, "I'm saying it now."

Ritter, go pull your pud and leave the world's problems to the adults.

Yeah. That mugshot of Ritter reveals clearly that "nothing happened".

The case was dismissed because they chose not to prosecute. Which means ha got a pass. It does not mean that "nothing happened". If he wants to prove that, he should allow himself to be prosecuted and acquited.

How about this: they agreed to dismiss the case AFTER he agreed to go to therapy? Does that work?

The Great Oz speaks, ignore the little girls behind the curtain.

"Now you listen to this. I'm only going to say this one time. I did not solicit this young lady to watch me masturbate in a dark alley. Not one time. Now I have to go back to the business of the American Iraqi people".

No controlling legal authority.

Of course, this only applies to "the annointed".

So Crier knows who the judge is, apparently? How does she know, if his identity has not been revealed publicly?

Probably an unexpected benefit from her diligent research and reporting on the Hillary! / Craig Livingstone FBI files scandal.

I don't know much about criminal legal procedings (except for my jury duty service, speeding tickets, and having watched Perry Mason, Columbo, Magnum PI). But you could be right.

Pay attention. Ritter was caught. We already KNOW this. We don't have to guess about where or when. He was caught in Albany, New York (i.e. in the U.S.).

Why can't you pay attention? Yes, he was caught in New York (i.e in the U.S., a$$hole); that's obvious. What makes you think that he wasn't previously 'caught' in Iraq? Please remove your cranium from your rectum before displaying your ignorance of how the world works in the future. Scotty boy's 'preferences' would be a prime target for blackmail. You can damned well bet that Saddam has pictures of him with little girls in Iraq.

"She flat out said that the judge was hired by Bush to do to Florida for the recount and "maybe" that's why this was leaked now, because Ritter is so critical of the president."

What neither Crier nor Ritter seem to understand is that when you step into the ring with the big boys, you better be able to slug it out or you're going to get laid out. That's politics. And Ritter is an obvious lightweight with a glass jaw. He hopped into the ring and now he's whining because he got his head handed to him.

Traitor pedophile agit-prop sociopath! He is a democrat pure and simple. That nasty mug shot is the face of the true Fifth Column in the US: the democrat party.

The democrats have ceased to stand for anything except treason, sexual perversion, power and money to the corrupt lawyer industry, and murdering third trimester babies.

IMHO Ritter might well be blackmailed by the Russians. His wife Marina very likely was an agent. And the relationshiop follows a pattern which should have raised red flags. Funny, but Oslwald's wife was also named Marina.

It appears that the liberal's word for "no longer useful" to their evil cause is "Radioactive."

May the whole lot of them rot in h*ll!

And also - look how the charges are positioned: He tried to lure a teenage girl" or "He tried to arrange a meeting with a teenage girl but,got caught up in a sting operation". Ritter belongs to them now and they will protect him as much as they can. But - who notices??

Trust me, his intentions were worse.
