Hell ****YEAH, I live about 2 hours from the accident scene in SD. Everyone where I work, myself included, thought that he was going to walk. I am very happy to see that justice can still be accomplished dealing with high profile figures.

Wooooooo, first post

GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY

And the next CNN Headline:

The guilty party is hereby ordered by the state of South Dakota to hang by the neck until which time he is dead dead dead.

Good on 'em! That diabetic thing was a hoot. Just who the heck did they think was responsible for managing his blood sugar level?



Sadly, they'll most likely appeal.

 

[1747]

anybody know what the minimum sentence is? I see him getting 30 days and 5 years probation or thereabouts...

 

[Redfury]

Guess the diabetic low blood sugar doesn't work any better than the twinkie (too much sugar) defense.



Kudos to the jurors. Thought for sure he would walk

 

[ogre23]

I'm shocked. It almost gives me hope that we don't live in a complete oligarchy.



Now, only infinity minus one injustices to go...

Don't celebrate just yet. There is still his sentencing. Keep pushing for more than just a slap on the wrist. I'm sure that he voted for more prisons, let him see one from the inside.

 

[torrnado]

I am not convinced, however, that justice is served. He has yet to be sentenced and, as someone already pointed out, he'll likely appeal.



I, too, thought of Dan White's "twinky defense."

 

[donalcallis]

Max 10 yrs and/or $10,000. Should know within a month, as the defense asked the Judge to quickly issue the sentence.

I think you've forgotten your history - the twinkie defense worked. Former Supervisor Dan White was sentenced to only 5-7 years for the murder of San Francisco mayor George Moscone and Harvey Milk - he wasn't responsible for his acts, due to elevated blood sugar caused by eating Hostess Twinkies(tm). Does this country have a great legal system or what?

 

[seruzawa]

Excellente'!



I am glad that I was wrong about assuming that the trial would be fixed. As long as we can continue to hold our elected officials accountable then we will be far better off.



Now begins the appeals process during which he will continue to act as a Congresscritter. It might help if everyone writes to the Speaker of the House, Dennis Hastert, House Majority Leader, **** Armey, and each of our own District Reps demanding his ouster.

 

[5706]

Latest news - he has resigned his seat effective Jan 20 which is also his sentencing date.

Congrats to S. Dakota justice system - sorta tells the Harley riders to "come on back y'all "

Sturgis Anti-Boycott?

I suppose since I was a supporter of the proposed boycott, I should now begin to go to Sturgis since he was convicted.

Congrats to the prosecution team!

The diabetes defense was really weak. Yeah, a 240lb guy forgets to eat all day. Uh-huh.

Re: There you go

All it took was Kpaul's threat of a boycott to send them hicks a runnin'. They know which side 'o' the bread the butter's on.

Of course he'll apeal, and he might do minimal time but the point is the jury didn't buy his bull-***** anymore than we did, good for South Dakota

 

[3655]

He still needs to be sentenced. That will dictate whether or not justice is served. Also, I bet this slob will appeal repeatedly until he is let off with time served.

 

[23180]

Happy to see a political "fat" cat get what he deserves, although it remains to be seen what sentence he'll actually receive.

 

[obandoj]

The conviction is great, now lets see what the sentence will be, I hope JohnnyB is wrong and they hang the bastard by the you know what!

Then and only then will justice have been served. I hope Mr. Scott's family get some closure and a little peace of mind from knowing that this piece of crap did not walk away from his terrible actions. we will see.

 

[jibosch]

I hope that there are some 'Fellow Bikers', wherever He is going...

 

[nomad76]

Good.



Hope he finally apologizes for his murder, and then apologizes to diabetics for his chicken-s#!t excuse of a defense.



Then I hope some imprisoned Pagans or Hell's Angels become good friends of his.
