Monica Conyers Sentenced to 3 Years in Prison
« on: March 10, 2010, 03:18:29 PM »


"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/

Ex-Detroit councilwoman gets 3 years for bribes

 :whatever:

Had this been a Republican's wife, there would be a hundred threads about it.

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....

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.

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:

A message seeking comment from John Conyers was left with a spokeswoman Tuesday evening.

The message I would have left for him:
