Sotomayor Achilles' Heel? Wrongly Imprisoned Man


Jailed for 16 years, he blames Supreme Court nominee for 6


By Bob Unruh© 2009 WorldNetDaily


The nomination by President Obama of 2nd Circuit Court Judge Sonia Sotomayor to the U.S. Supreme Court is more than alarming to an innocent man who was convicted of murder and spent 16 years in prison before being cleared and released.



Jeff Deskovic, whose pursuit of freedom has been chronicled by the New York Times and others, told WND that the last six of those years are directly attributable to decisions endorsed by Sotomayor.



"I'm very alarmed," he said. "The rest of my life, as a result of my ordeal, is dedicated to preventing this from happening to other people."



Sotomayor in her 2nd Circuit position repeatedly put "procedure over innocence" and rejected appeals that could have provided Deskovic with his freedom much earlier than it actually happened, he told WND.



He blames the prosecutors and others in his original case for getting his conviction and sentence, but he blames Sotomayor – and the other judge on the 2nd Circuit panel – for the last six years he remained in prison.

It's O K to be a racist as long as you hate the correct people , apparently !

Don't worry, if her overt racism didn't bother the MSM, this won't even make a blip on their radar.

It sure won't bother the Dear Leader. He's counting on her vote to uphold Napolitano's roundups.

Appears her decisions were based on racial profiling empathy.

This post is just stupid. Get over it, elections have consequences. She will be confirmed easily.

The Supreme Court has overthrown about 80% of her cases. There are more qualified judges available for the Supreme Court but she will be confirmed only for Latina vote. No one can deny this. This administration is a joke!!!

Pure conjecture 10:53. Where do you get your numbers, Rush Limbaugh? 80% is just BS.

Lies, lies, lies, the Rdumblican/Conservative right wing nutbag playbook. If you say anything enough times to the dumb sheep they will believe no matter how stupid and untrue.

Are you trying to rip off the old dumbocrat saying. Yours just doesn't work. And the only sheep that blindly follow are you dumbocrats. Gee that does have a good sound to it and what is even better is it gets under you guys skin. Oh yeah lets not forget your guys logo, the ass, it sure does properly describe you guys and your leader.

1:08....do you have an original thought of your own or are you just a proud "ditto head". You idiots believe anything the Faux Propoganda Channel feeds you.

11:41, if you could read (like maybe the post from 10:53,) you would know where the 80% came from and realize it doesn't apply to Rush. Duh...

10:38 is right. Elections have consequences.

Sotomayor will be confirmed. Get used to it.
