Spatch,Why did they put this guy in jail?"... Please, this is a joke. They should put real criminals in jail.
Nope, just a jaded, sarcastic writer who's been through this county's meat grinder of a justice system twice. I'd go off on a 500 word rant right now but I've gotta get to workthats so true. you must really be a DA or know the system well. bad thing is, its only going to get worse.
Thanks B... you just helped make my point: HYPOCRISY! I'm not upset about any of these guys going away, they knew the risks they were taking. What bothers me about the system is exactly what I wrote and the statement I quoted from you.Poor PA is doing a whole 90 days in a country club. Poor little PA wont even be there long enough to get commissary privileges. You get more time for a DUI in some states.
The real hypocrisy is that Conte is being sentence not for endangering the public at large but for enabling contracted performers to gain an unfair advantage in a sanctioned system(cheating) and the bulk of his time is for eluding the Federal Reserve Act mandate of complete control of the money system and the IRS income taxation scheme(money laundering)Thanks B... you just helped make my point: HYPOCRISY!

And IMO, as a side note, if the powers that be really wanted to get rid of DUIs instead of merely profit from them, the legislature would raise the legal limit to .18 (trashed) and make the penalty a mandatory 10 years in a hardcore, shower-rape, 23&1, state prison.
After all, it's not the guy who had 6 or 7 beers that's killing people, it's the guy who drank a 1/5th of vodka at 2 in the afternoon and T-bones a school bus... that's the guy that should be locked up. But no, he gets the same penalties as the guy coming home from dinner blowing a .08. HYPOCRISY!
The most disturbing fact of this entire Balco case has been the amount of "leaked Grand Jury testimony, that has been used to coerse and intimidate the athletes, who by the very definition of the law are protected from such abuse. The real slap in the face is that a book was written using this same" leaked information" as its major substantive body of evidence, this is a criminal act. Instead of out rage over this obvious circumventing of our legal system the writers of this book are lauded as heroes by the sports press and most notably ESPN. This is a major league spin job by some pretty big players to conclude that a professional athlete who cheats by taking a drug is a more serious legal issue than an out right breach of the entire legal system by profiteering writers-YIKES!!!!but at least thsoe reporters who leaked the Balco incident and the athletes invoved who had testimonies under immunity have been supp. indicted, and are supposed to give up their sources or go to jail. You gotta love the irony in that.:twisted:
agreed. I was thinking the same thing lol. And what made it more hilaroius is that these reporters admitted that they knew they were breaking the law, but did it as the american people deserved the right to know the truth. LOL, last i checked, the same laws that protected free speech and peoples' rights were the same laws that protect a testimony if some one is granted immunity for testifying or aiding authorites. lol, you break one, you basicaly break what all the others stand for. It had nothin to do leting America know the truth,... it had to do with the selfish, ignorent reporters wanting another story so they can get their 2 min of fame, and their paycheck at the end of the week.The most disturbing fact of this entire Balco case has been the amount of "leaked Grand Jury testimony, that has been used to coerse and intimidate the athletes, who by the very definition of the law are protected from such abuse.

The 5th Amendment of the US constitution grants that no person can be forced to testify against themselves in a court of law (no matter how guilty they may be) The 5th Amendment also provides, that a person has the right to refuse to stand witness if, they "believe" that their testimony "might" incriminate them in a criminal case. A civil case can require a person to testify about the case, as long as their testimony does not imply a criminal intent of the witness.And this one definately qualifies. Regarding the reporters who wouldn't reveal their sources, they broke no laws. You don't see judges holding doctors, social workers, or lawyers in contempt for refusing to violate confidentiality do you? The American public should be outraged over this blatant violation of the rights guaranteed in the Fifth Amendment (I think it's the 5th). However the story got minimal coverage for less than a week.
