An appeals court rejected Bernard Kerik's lawyers' attempt to free the former police commissioner. Last week, a federal judge revoked his bail, saying Kerik was "toxic combination of self-minded focus and arrogance" and accused him of leaking information to a lawyer not assigned to his case (the lawyer, in turn, gave the information to a newspaper which didn't publish it). The appeals court said there had to be a "clear legal error" to free Kerik.

LET KERIK GO! I feel like screaming an expletive.
People are using this to destroy Rudy Guiliani's Governorship run for 2012. Even William Thompson brought this up in the Mayor race against Bloomberg and I was really upset that he would resort to using a comment like that. Bloomberg countered by saying "Can you imagine a police commissioner in jail" in a jokingly manner.
Kerik is a man of honor, a great person. Someone who has done great things for the city and knows what it takes to reduce crime.
I checked the federal department of corrections and westchester jail databases and the truth is Kerik was NOT put in handcuffs and there is no record of him being there. I heard the case through the eyes of the media and read the latest story and it just really struck a nerve.
I walked home one day and saw derelect kids on the street shouting out words and trying to engage and I just ignored them. Could you just imagine these kids on the street while Bernie Kerik, one of the best Commissioners NYC has had in a prison cell? Something aint Kosher here.

thank god the giuliani days are over, and the NYPD doesn't lock kids up for yelling in the street anymore, or other lesser "quality of life crimes"... or at least not as recklessly as back then. jesus christ did you read that before you posted it?
and people call bloomberg a fascist. we better pray that guiliani doesn't get into state office.
Key word in story:
Arrogance.
This is quite alarming knowing that people with power can actually do stuff like that. Bernard Kerik was supposed to know better. A former policeman, and corrections officer at that, Bernard Kerik was supposed to posess an IQ which perhaps would have had a revelation that breaking the law was bad. Well, he didn't get that memo, and now will be spending the remainder of his days in all likelihood behind bars. The former applicant for the post of head of Homeland Security employed an illegal immigrant, committed conspiracy and tax fraud, took bribes – the whole shebang, and now won't pass go, and won’t collect $200 – and therefore, went to jail. Bernard Kerik now has a definitive need for money now – this time, for a lawyer.
