Was Justice Sold to Ambition in Hudson County?

by: Thurman Hart

Tue Apr 29, 2008 at 03:24:08 PM EDT



If you don't have a puke bucket handy, you may want to pause and go get one.  Otherwise you may stain your clothing when you hear about what passes for justice in Hudson County.  

Yes, David and Anna della Donna were convicted of three out of five counts against them - and I'll be the first to celebrate the jailing of another guilty public official.  But if Luisa Medrano gets off scot free - like Javier Inclan - then there is no way to call this anything close to justice.  The della Donnas are guilty of letting greed rule their hearts and taking money to make legal problems go away.  Luisa Medrano is guilty of procuring slaves and beating them, if necessary, into submission so she could boost her profits (and, depending on your point of view, she may be guilty of murder as well).  Javier Inclan is guilty of simply not caring that this was going on.  He is guilty of smiling into the mirror at the cretin that was more worried about moving up in the Democratic Party than he was about anything - ANYTHING - that happened in his own community.

Complete trash.  Every stinking one of them.  But one of them will get up tomorrow and go to work as a representative of our state, work in our name, get paid with our money, and look at his boss with guilty eyes and say, "If I were guilty of something; they would have prosecuted me."

So why is Chris Christie willing to let this go unpunished?  Why is he willing to deal with modern-day slavers and corrupt politicians who are totally bereft of any political compass just to get two more convictions on his belt?  Does he fear angering the Hispanic voters by going after two shitbags that deserve to be shot more than prosecuted?  

Why is Anne Milgram letting this go unpunished?  Why is she not filing charges against a bar-owner who forced a woman held in slavery to take abortion medication after the clinic had told her that her pregnancy was too far advanced?  Why is she not pounding her desk in anger that Medrano ordered the actions that caused an infant to be born early and die horribly?  Why is she not hauling Inclan out of his office by the scruff of his neck and planting a stiletto heel against his backside?  Why isn't she sticking him in a witness chair and making him look at the picture of the child his nonchalance towards corruption helped to kill?  Does she need her next job so badly that she can't be troubled to fulfill the moral obligations of this one?

Why is Governor Jon Corzine so blind?  Why can he not see that his willingness to take no action actually blesses such actions and - not merely encourages - ensures that it will happen again and again and again?  Has he become so lost in Trenton that he cannot find his own soul?  Is he so enwrapped in Hillary Clinton's bubble that the angels of his heart cannot rouse him with the river of their tears?  Is he so sure of his Secretary job in DC that he is willing to crap all over the honest and decent people still fighting for a better New Jersey?

I'm asking everyone to send the following message to our Attorney General:

I would like to understand why charges have not been filed against Javier Inclan - he has sworn in open court during the trial of David della Donna that he violated any number of laws by not upholding his duty as Treasurer of the Guttenberg Dems.  Furthermore, Nadia Davila-Colon was convicted of doing the exact same thing Inclan admitted to doing.  Are there any plans to take action against him?

Then do the same for Jon Corzine.

You Ask Why; Maybe Javier Inclan "Knows Too Much"... (0.00 / 0)
...and would rat out the higher ups if he were actually facing a stiff prison sentence?

We've seen this movie before, the low level corruption/criminality is prosecuted while the real source of the problem get's off scot free.

It happened at Abu Ghraib, Enron (imho the FERC was implicated http://goliath.ecnext.com/coms... ),  


Sorry, premature posting.... (0.00 / 0)
...and it happens all the time in the prosecution of "drug" crimes.   Most of our prisons are filled with low level drug operatives/users while the people at the top (and the money launderers/banks) get away with murder.

Look at Mayor Sharpe James.   Look at what a totally outrageous level of sheer criminal chutzpah it took to get him investigated and convicted.

Frankly, I think it's a safe bet to say that the majority of our NJ elected officials and appointed "public servants" are either corrupt or are aware of corruption that they tolerate /turn a blind to out of fear of the repercussions to them if they blow the whistle.

Whether it's 5% 10% or far higher; there is certainly a bult in "corruption tax" that takes a "piece" out of every dollar spent and earned in NJ.
