Pedro's party is over
From NY1:
Nearly every day for the last two months, Pedro Espada Jr. has been upbeat about his chances, but the former State Senate majority leader's optimism was no match for the jury.
On Monday, jurors in Brooklyn federal court found Espada guilty of four counts of theft. He was accused of stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from his not-for-profit health care clinic in the Bronx, Soundview HealthCare Network.
Prosecutors said Espada treated the clinic like his personal ATM, funding a lavish lifestyle with money that should have been used to provide health care for the poor.
The former senator's son, Pedro G. Espada, was also on trial, but the jury was hung on all counts related to him.
A mistrial was declared on eight counts against the younger Espada and four counts against the elder Espada.

is not nyc democrat dictatorship grand ?
what is the dem/socialist perp walk count so far ?
Good. He and that other wife beating POS Monserrate changed sides in June 2009 to the republicans due in-part to bribes from the landlord lobby.
A drunken wife beater and an embezzler.
Perfect candidates for the gop.
Ha ha Pedro. And there's no sushi in jail either.
What a creep.
This guy spit at the system and the fire consumed him.
So when will the Feds get to the Staviskys?
Anon No. 1:
Then why were the Republicans in the State Senate so willing to cut deals with him?
I'm loving the photos without the smirk. On the other hand, if he gets only 30 days in a country club prison, that smirk will be back.
Si...bueno!
Now,
lock him up and throw away the key.
We'll throw a pinata party
to celebrate.
#2...for the same reason that,former "YOUNG LORD", GIRRRRRaldo RIVeRRRRa is now a self admitted "ROCKEFELLER REPUBLICAN" ,who defends the socialists on his AM:program....$$$$$$$$$
MASTERS OF DECEIT......
if he is listening to the tapes of his common sense callers, he will change or go the way of "AIR AMERICA", the leftie show.
Anon No. 9:
You didn't answer the question. Why did the Republicans in the State Senate cut deals with Espada, Monserrate and Kruger?
I think that you're the one doing the deceiving here, Gramps.
"You didn't answer the question. Why did the Republicans in the State Senate cut deals with Espada, Monserrate and Kruger?"
I can answer that question, young pup: They cut deals because they're all opportunists and power brokers and it has nothing to do with ideology. Now deal with that and the fact that Dems out-number Reps in NY and will always be the ones taking the fall because they are in power. Are you so stupid as to not understand that the Dems have been in charge for the last 30 years or so? So it's their fault, for the most part, that this state is in the sorry state it's in? Just as you would blame Bush, for the nation's ills, the Reps blame the Dems for NY's ills. Get it?
Ann yes the Republicans in the senate. Does anyone know who those republicans were that struck this deal? Hmmm

I'm a 59-year old pup. I was asking the question because Anon No 9 tends to ignore or gloss over such things. Obviously, it was a very cynical and dishonest attempt by the Republicans to regain power in the State Senate and by the three amigos to perpetuate their ill-gotten gains.
Anon No. 10 -
For 28 of those 30 years, the Republicans have controlled the State Senate. For 12 of those years (admittedly, less than half of it), a Republican was the Governor. Got it? It's bipartisan dysfunction.
Anon No. 12:
Well, for one, I'd say the Republican leader, Dean Skelos. A guy from Nassau County.
