Hard to believe they are actually going to try and fight this.
This case is not complex. Its all recorded on video. These clowns are of the same character and moral fiber as individuals who dine and dash from the spicy crab or shoplift hair extensions.
Continued until July 2025 and prior to that date, trial will have been continued until October 2025.
What are the odds Rudy will have been tried prior to July 2025? Or does he plead to one count in exchange for 8 months in federal prison?
Banks should be working on a deal to testify against the others in exchange for a reduced sentence. Rarely is there honor among thieves, he who talks first walks. He’s probably been convinced by the other two, that if they stick together they won’t get convicted. Banks appears to me to be the least sophisticated while the other two have been doing this for years. Get out first Aaron.
What is their argument? That taking a literal sack of cash on camera is only the perception of bribery?
It's not hard for me to believe.
Feds has concrete evidence why delayed the trial.
Hundreds of hours of videos to review, thousands of pages of documents, more discovery, There is no way to prepare for a January trial properly. The only reason the early trial date was set was due to speedy trial laws. Those dates are almost always continued in federal court unless someone changes his plea to guilty. They might be as guilty as sin on those tapes but they are still entitled to a proper defense.
The wheels of justice grind slowly, but grind they do. Sooner or later, these criminal inept clowns will face a jury.
They will never get close to the Warnock record for continuances.
This case will be tried and the appellate process concluded before Warnock's case is adjudicated.
They can't hit the links as a threesome so they're waiting on Rudy to go first.
I've waited 8 years+ to watch Chokwe finally get caught. I can wait a few more months to see his arrogant @** get what's coming to him.
Agreed. This is why Rudy isn't getting a speedy trial. Right? Exactly how many continuances is enough or too many, KF?
The real question is who rolls first.................
Attention Rukia...I know that you read this blog. The word around the Federal Building is that you are next.
I appreciate your comment, Kingfish. Makes sense. But there's a part of me that just wants to hurry this up so we don't have to endure anymore from this mayor.
I think I hate this man more than I have ever hated a person before.
