Sommelier...you're damn right. We'd hang, while Sharpes of this world would walk. I wonder how dirty this judge is? NJ judges are political appointees, so I wonder whose d..k did Honorable Martini "caress" to get his job?

I highly recommend everybody run out and rent the great documentary Street Fight, which will now play in a far more satisfactory way than ever before.

I hope it's federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison, that corrupt fuck deserves it.

"Martini also criticized the prosecutors" If any of us had been convicted of this, we'd get 20 years, not 27 months. Criticize the prosecutors? What for? For finally building a case against a blatantly corrupt man who violated the public trust?

You forgot to mention that he was also a state senator. New Jersey, where you can not only be a corrupt mayor, you can also be a corrupt state senator at the same time!

Seems like the people of Newark would eventually get used to sad days.
