At A Lost For Words


This is one of the few times I have heard John Ford at a lost for words. After the verdict all he had to say was "I'm disappointed". In my opinion this was a compromised verdict. Somebody on this Jury was smart enough, to convince the other Ford supporters. This wasn't the end of the line. If they threw this trial out now. It could come back to haunt them later. Maybe this time it would be retried with a tougher jury. It might give them some relief for the time being. The fact of the matter is they would just be buying time.

This is a breakdown of the charges and how it came out. On count 1 of extortion, there was no contest. On count 2 of bribery , he was found guilty. On counts 3,4, and 5 of witness intimidation, he was found not guilty. Without the tape of him taking money. And had he been this quiet all along. He might not be facing time right now.

  2. If people think John Ford should get more time than Mary Winkler, there is a double standard. How can a murdere get more time than a theif? We know for a fact that Mary Winkler killer her husband. I'm not taking up for John but if she walks and he crawls, something is seriousl wrong.

  3. Bishop,

    Something is wrong. Both of them should be doing more time than they'll probably get.She should at least be doing life.He isn't finished with his trials yet. So his time may be more commensurate with his crimes.
