A staffer for Michigan Congressman, Democrat John Conyers, was arrested for
bringing a concealed gun into a federal courthouse in Detroit but faced
little by way of sanction or punishment as a result.
Rep. John Conyers’ office manager, Betty Petrenz, had the pistol in her
purse as she entered the court building and told police that she simply
forgot she had it in there.
She faced no prosecution and was given what one prosecutor called “a gift”
for a penalty. She received a ticket for having a gun on federal property
and got what is called “pretrial diversion,” a sentence that involves
neither jail time nor a fine. It merely requires the person to be on good
behavior for a specified period of time after which the ticket is dismissed.
Tresa Baldas of the Detroit Free Press found that three other people who
also accidentally brought their guns into the courthouse were treated a bit
differently.
One, a clerk of the court, was fired for having her firearm in her purse. A
law clerk for U.S. District Judge Avern Cohn agreed to resign his position
to avoid further prosecution. A third, a real estate agent at the court for
a divorce preceding, was actually prosecuted for the incident.
All four, including the Conyers staffer, had permits to carry.
Baldas’s report, it should be noted, reveals that all the members of the
government or government related jobs avoided prosecution whereas the
regular citizen immediately faced prosecution.
Naturally neither the Conyers staffer nor the Representative’s office
issued a comment on the incident. | c******i 发帖数: 4091 | | b*******n 发帖数: 8420 | 3 主党的基本盘就是泥鸽票蛆以及为他们献菊洗地的菊汉屁精
