Why give them time to get their ducks lined up and maybe go on the run? Why not just cuff'em and stuff'em right out of the courtroom?

Sorry, that's reserved for the rank and file criminals usually.

The 'click and tick' bourgeoisie types are yet coddled a bit before their time in the slammer.

After all it was a white collar crime....

.... so the justification goes.

Questions about the no-bid questionable art acquisitions for Cobo and Cass Tech seem to have fallen off the table.

Yeah, it would be nice to see her face trial on that too, as well as some other shady dealings she's had over the years. Every time I walk by that "art" [[including the laughably bad picture with the head of Kwame Kilpatrick in it), I SMH.

Hey, help me with this. Everybody around her is rolling over on her to the feds. Yet she takes it to trial. Did she really think she was going to beat this ? Why not take whatever deal the Feds offered her and at least get a couple of years shaved off.

And then she delays now that prison time looms , who does she think she is Wesley Snipes
