There’s a possibility that convicted Virginia ex-Gov. Bob McDonnell may not be going to prison this month after all.
The Supreme Court ruled Monday that prosecutors have until 4 p.m. ET Wednesday to file a response to McDonnell’s request to remain free pending his appeal, allowing him to stay out from behind bars temporarily, Richmond TV station WWBT reported. A federal appeals court last week rejected the former governor’s request to remain free pending that appeal.
This post has been updated to reflect that McDonnell remains free until prosecutors file a response to his request to stay out from behind bars pending appeal.
Thats the circuit that Roberts covers for emergency appeals…wonder if he made decision alone or deferred to the whole court.
Also…this is only valid until Wed. when the prosecution gets to respond. Also, the SCOTUS could refuse the case as well.
I think VagProbeMcDonnell should have to spend the rest of his time out of prison under house arrest with Maureen… in a 1 BR 1 Bath home… no AC, no ‘staff’ and no remote control for the BW tv.
White privilege, Republican privilege, or both?
White is the new Orange, or isn’t…or something.
Talk about an 8th amendment violation!
