KERIK PLEADS GUILTY BUT SPENDS NO TIME IN JAIL
According to the New York Times, "Bernard B. Kerik, the former New York City police commissioner, pleaded guilty today to two misdemeanor charges as the result of accepting tens of thousands of dollars of gifts and a loan while he was a city official in the late 1990's...City officials insisted that Mr. Kerik received no special treatment. 'He was arrested and booked,' said Rose Gill Hearn, the city's investigations commissioner. 'He was fingerprinted and photographed like every other perp who gets arrested and processed.'...One of Mr. Kerek's lawyers, Joseph Tacopina, disputed this account. He said Mr. Kerek was not arrested or processed, but allowed to surrender to the district attorney's office. He was fingerprinted in the executive wing, Mr. Tacopina said, but not photographed."
We do not know whos is telling the truth, but it seems to us that whatever treatment Mr. Kerik received should be standard for everyone.
