"WXYZ.com in Detroit reports that Monica Conyers, the wife of Congressman John Conyers:
Just moments ago in federal court, former Detroit City Council President Monica Conyers was sentenced to 37 months in prison for her roll in the city hall scandal.
A team of Action News reporters are at the courthouse. They will be providing immediate reaction to the sentence.
WXYZ.com has been live blogging the sentencing and reported that Conyers threw a fit in court:
Just before sentencing, Conyers screamed "If they have their tapes, I have my tapes too. I taped Rayford, I taped Riddle. You'll be fair to me or I want to withdraw my plea."
She also yelled, "What about my children? They did nothing to cause this. All I did was try to help someone I fired."" http://www.wizbangblog.com/

Actually, they're no longer silent. Just a headline without mentioning the name:
Ex-Detroit councilwoman gets 3 years for bribes (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x4301448)
:whatever:
Had this been a Republican's wife, there would be a hundred threads about it.

Kinda wonderin' what John was doing while Monica was out breaking the law....

You mean the 'Unindicted co-conspirator?' The other member of the Conyers Crime Family? That guy from the Conyers Family Evil Empire?
:lmao:

I love it--she confesses (allocutes), then wants to recant, and is now appealing?
Oh, this oughta be good. I wonder if they can add on additional time for being stupid?

I can't believe that this is happening in Detroit! I mean, what a great liberal example of honesty integrity,and ethics!

Yup, that's the one. I'll bet his Crackberry has some veddy inteddestink information on it.
Since John will be his wife's landlord when she reports to prison on 1 July (in his role as Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee), now I'm kinda wonderin' what kinda babysitter he's gonna line up....

If they could, she would have gotten life instead of 37 months....
Couldn't have happened to a "nicer" bitch....

I don't have time to dig into it, but I'm wonderin' what kinda "Martha Stewart" type vacation resort she'll wind up in.
And she'll probably be out in a year, maybe less.
Some pigs are better than other pigs, especially in that hellhole known as Detroit.

It might be a "country club" prison, but it's a federal conviction, so she's got to do at least 85 percent of the time.

Damn, John has REALLY thrown his wife under the bus! Didn't even bother to jack the thing up first!
:rotf:
John makes $174K a year and she can't afford an attorney.
Yep, that sounds about right. :lmao:
Detroit, you get what you pay for. :evillaugh:

A message seeking comment from John Conyers was left with a spokeswoman Tuesday evening.
The message I would have left for him:
"Hey asshole, fork over the money for her lawyer and don't leave the taxpayers footing the bill again".
