Patrick Moser's lies cost the City of Middletown $400,000. They cost him his 16-year career as a cop. And now, they're going to cost him seven weekends in the Orange County Jail.
Let me see if I've got this straight: A police officer lies in a police report and a hearing in an attempt to convict a citizen of criminal charges, and then complains things were "stacked" against him "from Day One" because he's been sentenced to weekend jail time?
What the hell is this world coming to? Don't they know he's an "Only One"?

And the winner of the teeth rattlingly ironic quote award goes to:
ReplyDelete"I know he's a police officer, Your Honor," "I know police officers are held to higher standards."
--Patrick Moser's lawyer, James Mellion
WTF?
Breaks a guy's jaw, lies to incriminate the guy.. twice! Gets a misdemeanor charge (does not lose HIS RTKBA) and WEEKEND jail time?
