Guns, I know you hate Clinton, but lying about getting a hummer is hardly the same thing as a law enforcement officer presenting false testemony against an innocent defendant, especially when it results in an innocent man going to prison.

Let's say there is a JAG that for whatever reason hates your guts and totally fabricates a case against you and you wind up doing 7 years brig time for something you absolutely did not do. How would you feel if he got caught and only got a letter of reprimand after you served 7 hard?


I guess it's just me but law is written in black and white and purgery is purgery.  I would agree with you that he shouldnt have been asked those questions to begin with but he still lied under oath to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.  He can split hairs all he wants with the definition of the word "is" but its still purgery.  When we start mincing words and say some lying is worse then others you corrupt  truth.  Just MHO though.

Prosecutor Rod Hobson said Coleman deserves prison time because "people went to prison, Freddie Brookins went to prison, because of his worthless words. He should be held accountable for that." "

The guy should get life.

Dunno about life but I think the guy should do as much time in jail as the the person who served the most time in jail for something he didnt do.

If the longest term served is 10 years for example let him serve 10 years.
And not in any soft prison either. In the same type prison the people he screwed over had to serve.
And not in solitary either. Among the population just like everyone else.
He'll get what he deserves that way

Agreed but an officer shouldnt be allowed to break the law in order to catch someone breaking the law.

Selling drugs is a crime.
So is offering services as a prostitute.

Yet police do both in order to catch people

That is why he is not going to jail.  As we all know purgery is not a real crime to go to jail for.


Which brings me to this thought.

shouldnt he also and at the very LEAST be charged with false imprisonment?

I totally agree with you.  I don't know other specifics of THIS case but you can charge somone all you want, getting a conviction is another story.

LMAO

"I" didnt get into any.  I've seen it though

I in my youth was always smart enough to stay away from such traps. And I never did much to get in that much trouble for anyway

Oddly enough the only time I've even been questioned by cops about something were for things I didnt do.

No offence ment to Cops here but most of ya's have a certain mannerism about ya's that tips people off if they pay attention

But I know of two such instances 1 a friend (drugs)and 1 a brother in law (prostitute)

Both cases were even by the definition of the links provided were by definition entrapment.

Neither got off

Willingness is a state of mind.
So I am right when I talk about the persecution of 'mind crimes' in the USA.
 Thank you for the support of my point of view.

You can think about it all you want.  When you offer the policman money for a BJ, or take the drugs in your hand, you are not thinking about it, you are doing it.

Yup 7 years is fair.
Thats 7 years for each person he falsely sent to prison thats is.

And then think they need to look into the possibility of this being a hate crime as well.

Never in my life have I offered the policeman money for a BJ. Gay prostitution is not my specialty. :D
