I, in my teens, discounted this because I couldn’t imagine the priests I knew doing the things she spoke of. Now we know. She had been a nurse at a rehabilitation center for priests and nuns.<br />My sister was arrested because a tenant she evicted was friends with someone in the Florida State Attorney’s office and he was angry for her refusal to renew his lease. Luckily my sister knew the judge who released her who said it was an illegal arrest. An inquiry was made. Nothing ever happened. The arresting papers were written so she would have had to stay in jail from Thanksgiving, when she was arrested, until after New Years. <br />My ex-husband was an investigative reporter in the 70s-80s. He had many stories in this vein.Susihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08491909280925749677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8304928500646903522.post-54483195187229271382019-08-14T09:29:30.216-04:002019-08-14T09:29:30.216-04:00Edit: Prosecutors, especially federal prosecutors...Edit: Prosecutors, especially federal prosecutors, have too much power.Shadowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05353532874773316117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8304928500646903522.post-6010221153724040332019-08-14T09:28:08.886-04:002019-08-14T09:28:08.886-04:00Perhaps we should cease criticizing other countrie...Perhaps we should cease criticizing other countries' criminal justice systems and start watching our own backyard. Prosecutors, especially federal prosecutors. <br /><br />As to Epstein, his original case is somewhat similar to Roman Polansky's, don't you think? Just a thought on how to proceed:<br /><br />Go back to the beginning and investigate who, if anyone, pressured DOJ officials to give Epstein a soft deal. I remember Acosta, when questioned about plea deal during congressional confirmation hearings, saying he wasn't getting complaints for being too soft; he was getting complaints for being too hard. The first thought that comes to mind is Acosta was manufacturing an excuse for his indefensible conduct. After all, surely Epstein's attorneys were complaining. But what if the pressure was real and came from elsewhere? Acosta never told the committee who was complaining. Start there.<br /><br />As to Epstein's suicide. This is beyond embarrassing; it's shaming. Yes, let's stop criticizing others.<br /><br /><br />Shadowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05353532874773316117noreply@blogger.com
