Slap-on-the-wrist for murdering U.S. Oligarch 1 Year ago Karma: 193
Just another example of the two-tier "American Justice" system which U.S. sheep have imposed on THEMSELVES.

When a Sheep commits a crime they face the FULL brunt of the law...and even MORE than that if their skin-colour isn't lily-white.

But when a HOG breaks a law then suddenly the world turns upside-down. Here we see a murdering Oligarch getting HALF the maximum penalty in a case where he LITERALLY sat and did nothing while his victim lay DYING.

If an AGGRAVATED offense of this nature only nets an Oligarch HALF the maximum penalty then presumably the only way this Oligarch would have gotten to FULL penalty is if he would have ran-down a NUN - and then RAPED the corpse after she was dead.

P.S. For any who take offense at my hypothetical suggestion of this Oligarch raping a dead nun, note that this same Oligarch has LEGALLY ADOPTED his own "girl friend"... (presumably because he wants her to call him "Daddy")




"Palm Beach Polo Tycoon Gets 16 Years For Car Crash Death (Update 2)"

www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-05-11/palm-b...car-crash-death.html

John Goodman, the Florida polo tycoon, was sentenced to 16 years in prison for driving under the influence-manslaughter and vehicular homicide in the 2010 death of a 23-year-old man whose car he slammed into with his Bentley.

The sentence was about half of the maximum faced by Goodman, founder of the International Polo Club Palm Beach in Wellington, Florida.

Goodman, 48, ran a stop sign in his convertible, striking a car driven by Scott Patrick Wilson, which careened into a roadside canal. Goodman walked home and waited an hour before calling 911, prosecutors said, while the victim drowned. Palm Beach County Judge Jeffrey Colbath said yesterday that, in determining the sentence, he considered the fact that Goodman’s blood alcohol level was twice the legal limit and that he did nothing to try to save Wilson.

“He had an opportunity to try to save Mr. Wilson,” Colbath said. “He could have gotten in that canal.” Goodman spoke briefly during the hearing, saying “I don’t know what to say. I’m so sad and remorseful.”

A six-person jury convicted Goodman earlier this year in the Feb. 12, 2010, death of Wilson. Goodman faced as many as 30 years in prison.
$7 Million

Colbath allowed Goodman’s family to post $7 million in cash and property to bail him out pending the results of his appeal. Goodman also offered to pay for off-duty police officers to “babysit” him after Colbath said he was concerned Goodman had the financial wherewithal to flee the country.

Prosecutors asked that they be notified if Goodman’s girlfriend, whom he has legally adopted, gains access to a trust that was set up for his children.

The judge rejected a bid by Goodman’s attorney, Roy Black, for a new trial based on juror misconduct. The judge questioned juror Dennis DeMartin after he self-published a book about the trial in which he wrote that, the night before the jury reached a verdict, he had four drinks to see how that number of drinks would have left Goodman impaired.
‘Take the Drinks’

“I didn’t take the drinks to find out if he was guilty or not,” DeMartin said. “I took the drinks to see if I could handle it.”

Black had argued that Goodman should get a new trial because DeMartin conducted an experiment rather than making his decision based on the evidence in the case.

“It really doesn’t matter what he wrote in his book and it really doesn’t matter what he said to the press,” Assistant State Attorney Sherri Collins said. “He has every right to do those things.”

Black said Goodman’s insurance company had paid Wilson’s parents $40 million.
