I’m pleasantly surprised. There actually is a tiny bit of justice in dirty politics. Their boss got off scot-free but at least two of his cronies went down. Kelly got 18 months and a years probation Baroni 2 years, 500 hours community service Naturally they are appealing this slap on the wrist.

What a bunch of douche bags. Glad to see they were convicted. Now they’ll have a record for the rest of their lives. ---

Lucky for for the governor, who had no idea this was all happening behind his back, so he got of scot-free. ---

I hope these convictions sends a strong signal to other people in political power. The power entrusted in them can’t be misused to settle political grievances. This isn’t a game. They are very lucky no deaths were directly attributed to this stunt. > **[Did woman, 91, die because of traffic delays in N.J. bridge scandal? | CNN](https://www.cnn.com/2014/01/09/us/christie-bridge-scandal-death/)** > > The lane closure scandal in New Jersey is raising questions whether gridlock delayed paramedics’ effort to save a 91-year-old woman who died. > [@](#): > > In summarizing a total of four delayed emergency responses on September 9 and September 10, Favia urged Mayor Mark Sokolich to take action. ---

18 and 24 months is not a “slap on the wrist” for first time non-vopiokent offense. I’m surprised, actuallly, that they got so much prison time. ---
