I am familiar with his history, and activities as an advocate, I just think that the hearing was a last ditch effort to spare Ted from substantial incarceration, and we needed to be direct and to the point. Not get to a point where we annoyed or angered the Judge. As I said, it didn't matter anyway, because Judge Gold's decision was reached before the hearing started. Now we hope the appellate process works. The fair news out of this, and I counseled Ted before this hearing in regards to jail time, is that 18 months is what is called a "TS Sentence", meaning that he only has to serve 50% of it, before being allowed to apply for Transitional Supervision; a form of Parole, that allows him to be released. As Mr. Nowacki is an advocate, so am I, for inmates. We will see Ted again soon, before the year is out. B.

I'm sorry this happened to Ted and more importantly his children. I've seen first hand how close his children are to him. I've always said Ted is not a threat to anyone. I hope he has success at the appellate level. Although you were not happy with Mr. Nowacki's speech, please keep in mind that Mr. Nowacki at one point faced the same outcome as Ted, in retaliation for his outspokenness agains the Judicial Branch, but he successfully overcame. He has valuable experience to share even if it is difficult to understand. Hector MoreraAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11898800814209983884noreply@blogger.com
