Lawyer Fingers Judge, Gets Case Dropped
Here's another example of our morally bankrupt sentencing system:
A lawyer, Paul Siminovsky, is arrested for allegedly bringing bribes to a New York Judge. Both are on wiretaps, along with several others. The Judge is indicted but the Government needs someone to testify against the Judge to cement its case. Lawyer Siminovshky cooperates with the Government, agreeing to testify against the Judge, and avoids indictment on a felony charge and jail time.
Lawyers for some of the indicted parties, including the Judge and other lawyers, say discovery they received from the Government shows that lawyer Siminovshky was the driving force in the bribery scandal.
Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes responds, "Someone's got to help," and he added, "Without Siminovsky, we have nothing."
