If you’ve been sentenced by a judge, you don’t get all loud and belligerent in the courtroom while screaming you want to appeal. You don’t do that… unless you think rules don’t apply to you because you’re Monica Conyers, wife of Congressman John Conyers.
Flashback: To know what we’re dealing with here, a 2008 exchange she had in the Detroit City Council while she was, at the time, President Pro Tem.
Now, jump forward to March 10, 2010…
Former Detroit City Councilwoman Monica Conyers was sentenced to 37 months in prison today, but not before controversy and confusion erupted when she announced she wanted to withdraw her guilty plea to bribery.
In a loud and lengthy tirade that targeted federal prosecutors and the news media, Conyers said the court was trying to make an example of her and sentence her for crimes she did not commit.
“I’m not going to be made the scapegoat for other people,” Conyers told U.S. District Judge Avern Cohn. “I’m sorry that the newspapers have put pressure on you to make an example of me.”
“I’m just not going to jail for something I didn’t do.”
I think you are.
Pardon my glee when watching someone of prominence, riding on someone else’s coattail, assumes that others must knee in reverence, and displays undo arrogance.
She can reveal her co-conspirators, and serve 24 months in prison.
Oh hell yeah! Detroit’s got one less idiot
Security, please bitch-slap the bitch…
Right now, John Conyers is probably celebrating. In bed. With some young thing.
From the linked article from Conyers,
“I’m walking out the front door and I’m appealing this case because he didn’t have no right to do that,”
A pet peeve of mine is when people use double negatives. She actually said he did have the right to do that, except she’s too stupid to realize that.
The judge does not have a right to find her guilty?
Ya can’t make this stuff up…
Flogging is too good for this ignorant dunce…
Me thinks the connection between her brain & her mouth have been disconnected & the mouth is flapping from habit & overuse.
“A diahrea of words and a constipation of thought…”
