Judge declares mistrial in Menendez prosecution

Crooked Menendez is supposed to be Crooked Hillary's cellmate!

 

[basquebromance]

Is there any chance Menendez could lose the Dem primary next year, or is the state party/power structure in NJ just too strong?

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Sort of funny that even when our justice system follows the correct steps and does what everyone is crying about and gave him his due process, the results are attacked when they are not what the partisan hacks wanted.

Funny in the pathetic and sad manner.

We never need to worry about Russia or China or ISIS, you ******* partisans will be the death of this country

The judge declared a mistrial because the jury was deadlocked and could not come to a unanimous decision.

If you want to blame someone, blame the jury.

"The way this case started was wrong. The way it was investigated was wrong. The way it was prosecuted was wrong and the way it was tried was wrong." - Crooked Menendez

WRONG!

WRONG!

Is there a chance you will self deport to Iraq as a favor to the rest of the country?

Again...............according to the rules of our judicial system, if the jury is deadlocked and cannot come to a unanimous decision, the judge has to declare a mistrial.

Blame the jury if you have to blame someone.

Blame the jury if you have to blame someone.

Or blame crappy prosecution who failed to prove the case .

Or credit the defense with a great case. But, sorry, it's not really up to the prosecutor or the defense in the case. And, it's not even up to the judge if there is a jury present.

The jury is the one that decides a person's innocence or guilt.

And this time the jury could not decide, so by default he is innocent.

Not the judge but rather 10 of 12 citizens didn' find him guilty .....thats how judicial system is in the US. They were presented with evidence and they found that the guy is not guilty....fair and square.

Actually there was another juror who was replaced during deliberations who found Menendez not guilty, so it was 11 of 13.

Shouldn’t you change your thread title. 10 of the 12 jurors voted for acquittal. It sounds like those who heard the evidence in this case didn’t think he was “crooked” at all.

Republicans are great at labelling Democrats as “crooked” but then whine when others call Republicans crooked, saying they haven’t been convicted of anything.

Hillary hasn’t even been charged with a crime, whereas Donald Trump has paid enormous fines for illegal campaign contributions, fraud, racial discrimination, and had his Trump Foundation shut down for illegal fundraising. He’s currently under federal investigation for obstruction of justice, and conspiracy. So why isn’t it “Crooked Donald”? He’s certainly earned the title fair and square!

lady justice has a blindfold. Crooked Menendez and Crooked Hillary shouldn't be above the law.

Neither of these people have been convicted of a crime. Hillary hasn’t even been charged. She’s not “above the law”, she’s in compliance with the laws.

Crooked Donald has paid out millions of dollars in fines. He’s violated immigration laws, committed fraud, illegal fundraising, illegal campaign contributions and let’s not forget the 3000 laws suits and 7 bankruptcies. He’s also publically admitted to sexually assaulting women which 12 women have confirmed is true.

“Crooked Hillary” is a figment of Republicans’ imaginations. Crooked Donald is the guy Republicans elected President.

It doesn’t say much for Republicans that they would knowingly elect a lying criminal like Crooked Donald, but Republicans have a long, sad history of electing crooks like Nixon, the entire Reagan Administration, it’s the possible exception of St Ronnie himself, and Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld who fleeced the public treasury for billions.

Does the crazy angry left understand what "drain the swamp" means? I reckin not.

 

[basquebromance]

He took and concealed gifts like private jets and stays at luxury resorts. He then lobbied for his gift-giving friend, who was convicted of Medicare fraud.

I guess bribery no longer matters.

The prosecutor failed miserably to convince a jury of that claim. 11 of 13 jurors found him innocent on all counts.

I wonder hom much it $cost$ to make that happen?

Partisanship has even creeped into the courtrooms to ensure criminals go free...

If anyone was bribed it would be the 2 jurors who stubbornly voted guilty and they would have been bribed by Christie and the GOP trying to steal a Dem senate seat.
