5. Voter's Poll....
Do you think he will like it or hate it when he gets Hammered while bending over to pick up the soap in prison?

6. It would have to be one desperate con.
but the thought of him begging for mercy does have some appeal.

3. 2 things: It's not over till appeals exhausted, and tell a lie often enough and people believe it.

13. He may appeal, but he'll do it from behind bars. He'll get time. Texas loves crooks as long as they

get away with it. He was vicous piece of work, an exterminator from Sugarland who with his brother were accused of all sorts of violence including arson on competitors. The rich used him but they never liked him. Like Jack Abramoff, he'll be shunned.

14. I didn't know all of that. So, they won't postpone his incarceration pending the appeal?
Other than being an exterminator, I knew nothing of his previous criminal history and violence.

Maybe he will sing on others to get a reduced sentence. That would be fun to watch.

15. Generaly when one gets sentenced, one might get a dalay to report for personal reason
but usualy you get handcuffed right there in court and get taken away. If the sentence is a state charge(like this), if there is an appeal pending sometimes he'll stay in a local lockup. This is a felony conviction and he's been fighting in hearings for years before he finaly went to trial. If he couldn't successfuly appeal the charges prior to trial, its hard to beleive he'll get out on some procedural cause at this point.

He's a creep as well as a political hack, and now he's a convicted felon about to become a jail-bird. Too bad he had to gerrymand Texas into a jigsaw puzzle first.

7. Probably means
He knows that with many federal courts stacked with conservative judges (that's why the Republicans are always slow to deal with Democratic president's nominations) that soon or later his case will end up in a court that will summarily overturn the verdict. So basically he knows 'the fix' is in and he has nothing to worry about. Personally I hope I'm wrong and he spends a lot of time in a cell.

8. He's such a psychopath.
December 20 Sentencing?

I doubt he'll see a day in jail, but I'd prefer he have to appeal his convictions from INSIDE prison.

9. That's because he knows that he'll probably get off at the appellate level.
Bush appointed many buddies in judgeships.

11. Travis county is the county by law Tex pols have face justice. I hope Ronnie Earl was there when the
verdict came down. He'll get a little time. He was a pal of Abramoff.
