Wilkerson attorney calls for case dismissal

Citing “inflammatory’’ media coverage of her arrest on corruption charges, “outrageous’’ behavior of federal prosecutors, and potential under-representation of minorities on a jury, the attorney for former state senator Dianne Wilkerson called yesterday for either a dismissal of charges or a change of venue for her impending trial.

In a motion and 10-page accompanying memorandum filed in the US District Court of Massachusetts, attorney Max Stern castigated the US attorney’s office and reporters and charged them with branding Wilkerson, a Roxbury Democrat, as guilty before a grand jury had indicted her on Nov. 18, 2008, on bribery charges in connection with the use of her office.

Hmmm. They caught her on tape stuffing bribe money into her bra. That's the "inflammatory" media coverage - they actually dared to cover this story. The "outrageous" behavior of prosecutors one can only assume points to the releasing of the pictures of her stuffing the bribe into her bra. This step was necessary to get her corrupt derriere out of office. And, lastly, as predictable as the sun rise, she plays the race card.

As Bruce would say, this is my shocked face.

Sorry, Diane, you're going down. Even in Boston, as corrupt as she is, physically stuffing a bribe into your shirt on camera isn't something you can make go away by throwing down the victim card. Especially someone with a long and distinguished criminal record here - this isn't the first time that Wilkerson has run afoul of the law, having campaign finance violations, tax problems (think she'd be up for a gig with 0bama?), and parole violations. This is not the choirgirl on which to pin one's defensive hopes on a "ZOMG BOSTON IS TEH RACIST" mantra...

Heck, even Jesse Jackson won't touch this one; that should tell you how bad her case is...

That is all.
