I agree with due process and all...but I find it ironic that the only thing Bernie ever apparetnly "got down on paper" was his severance package. The rest of the smoke and mirrors that constituted his involvement with the massive fraud at WCOM was, for the most part, verbal and without a paper trail. So unfortunately - just like OJ - he'll probably escape criminal penalties and just get hit (maybe) with civil damages...while sheltering assets under Florida's homestead statues, etc.

Just put him in jail and throw away the key? No trial. No need to prove he is guilty of anything, just put him in jail. Now I'm not defending old Bernie, but I do think he is entitled to due process just like the rest of us. Bernie has been under the microscope for a while by the Feds, but that haven't charged him with anything yet. Only Oklahoma has filed charges against him. Before we sentence him to life in prison, I think we should allow him his constituional rights of a trial. I'm sure old Bernie is no boyscout, but that's my opinion and we don't send people to jail based on opinions.
Opinions are like a**holes, everyones got one. |
