Michael Jeffries requires round-the-clock care because the 80-year-old has Alzheimer’s disease, Lewy body dementia and the “residual effects of a traumatic brain injury,” defense attorneys wrote in a letter filed Thursday in a New York federal court, citing recent evaluations by medical professionals.
Prosecutors and defense lawyers want a federal judge in Central Islip to place Jeffries in the custody of the federal Bureau of Prisons for up to four months so that he can be hospitalized and receive treatment that might allow his criminal case to proceed.
LOL I almost ate the onion! Lol! unfit for sex trafficking!
Oh wait no. Okay, well could they give him meds that temporarily bring him back for judgment?
Throw 'em in the brig, and when he’s pissing himself confused and scared, maybe he can feel like the people he trafficked.
What do you think this guy is? Muslim?!
No no no. We don’t treat rich white people this way.
I just want justice to be done. So much so that its almost cruel. I’m so fucking tired of these god damn buffoons “we dont know why shit is shit” yes you do. Its you. Fucking it up. Earth doesnt have to be fucked up, but its packed with power hungry cunts who dont think and make everything worse for everyone, even themselves.
In business, they call it the “Principal Agent Problem” and its a gnarly one. How do you compel people who do not share your specific personal interests to represent those interests faithfully?
Everyone from The Pope to Henry Ford to Xi Jinping has grappled with it. There’s no particular good answer, although there are definitely a few ideas that have endured. If you want to get Hegelian, you could say that the contradictions between principals and agents - people with authority to demand and people with the power to labor - are one of the driving forces behind human history. The nations that can resolve the contradiction amicably are ultimately the ones that prosper and endure. While the ones that fumble and fail are doomed to the dustbin of history.
But I also think we’re just too damned short-lived to truly grapple with the consequences of our actions. Jefferies is already pushing past his expiration date. Even if he does finally, at long last, get clapped, he won’t be around long enough to appreciate it. Easier to be cavalier towards others and heedless of your own fate when you’re sprinting towards the void.
White male punishments in the US
Young: “oh, he’s so young. We don’t want to ruin his promising life over a little mistake.”
Middle: “where is the evidence? I bet the other person is lying. It’s not that bad. He will get a slap on the wrist if anything.”
Old: “he’s unfit for punishment because he is old and has diseases that primarily affect old people.”
Everyone else
“Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.”
Dementia is a punishment worse than death. Just a shame he didn’t get it sooner. Lock him away for the rest of his life and forget he ever existed. Don’t even waste treatment on him. Just let the disease run its course.
At least lock him in a room with nothing but a hammer
Meanwhile…last September
Former Canadian fashion mogul Peter Nygard was sentenced Monday in a Toronto courtroom to 11 years in prison for sexually assaulting four women. The judge called the 83-year-old a “sexual predator.”
Weirdly convenient that these people only ever get caught the second they become mentally unfit for trial.
Mobility walkers with tennisballs just magically start appearing.
You have it backwards. They only become unfit when they get caught.
If the evidence is damning of his guilt, seems like he could be a strong candidate for White Bear Justice Park.
At this point, we need to just decide what monetary level you can be at before you get Luigi’d. Im so sick of this shit. All these old ass rich white dudes that get away with everything.
I’m still mad that one redneck motherfucker missed.
Cool, try him anyways or take all his money
I’d say he’s fit for a long jail sentence.
okay well he looks like longlegs, so just take him out back and lets save the tax money
