More democratic voter fraud

Donald Trump broke Florida criminal law, didn’t register NY fraud convictions with Palm Beach sheriff

By Noreen Marcus and Dan Christensen, FloridaBulldog.org

Presidential candidate Donald Trump violated the law in his home state of Florida by failing to report to his local sheriff after a New York jury found him guilty of falsifying business records.

Yet it’s unlikely the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office will investigate Trump for the offense or that Palm Beach state prosecutors will charge him with the misdemeanor of failing to register his felony conviction. Nor will election officials in Tallahassee explain how a convicted felon managed to vote, unchallenged, in the Aug. 20 primary the way Trump did in early voting on Aug. 14.

Florida Statute 775.13 gives “any person who has been convicted of a crime in any federal court or in any court of a state other than Florida” 48 hours to register. Trump was supposed to report his May 30 New York conviction on 34 counts of fraud within two days of returning to his Palm Beach home.

Intended for monitoring felons, the registration law says the offender must be fingerprinted and photographed. Violation is a second-degree misdemeanor punishable by up to 60 days in jail and a potential fine of up to $10,000 per conviction.

Trump did not register, Teri Barbera confirmed to Florida Bulldog. She’s the longtime public information officer for the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office.

Sheriff Ric Bradshaw did not respond to Florida Bulldog’s repeated requests for comment. Palm Beach State Attorney Dave Aronberg also did not return a phone message left with his office. Bradshaw’s legal counsel, Catherine Kozol, suggested Trump didn’t register because he didn’t have to – not yet, anyway.

Typical soft on criminals Florida. Felons wandering around continually breaking laws as long as it's for less than $900.
What a s**thole state.

 

[Hoosierhawkeye]

Yet another time Trump will not be held to a standard that anyone else would be held to.

 

[lucas80]

Doesn't Florida have some special police force designed to root out voter fraud? You'd think they'd pay Donald Trump a visit to get to the bottom of this. I mean, probably a clerical error, right? Surely Trump wouldn't have failed to register because his emotions tell him he isn't really guilty, and he hasn't told his lawyers, being paid for by the suckers and rubes of HBOT, to fight this if anyone tries to hold him to the same standard as anyone else in Florida would be held to.

I'm tired of this 2-tiered criminal justice system.

Hold on, hold on fellas. Let's wait for Goldy to tell us there must be a rest of the story ending to this.

Trump's fraud convictions aren't official until sentencing under NY law.

There's a good chance his convictions will never be official.

I'm on record many times here hoping for a conviction, but the Dems can't seem to figure out how to do it properly.

Apparently Florida law is different.

Separately, Kozol sent word through Barbera that a conviction isn’t final “until sentencing occurs because the judge has the discretion to impose penalties or withhold adjudication.”

But that’s not what Statute 775.13 says: “the term ‘convicted’ means … a determination of guilt which is the result of a trial or the entry of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere [no contest], regardless of whether adjudication is withheld.”

“That blows her whole argument right out of the water,” said Philip Padovano, a Tallahassee appellate lawyer and retired appeals court judge who reviewed Florida Statute 775.13 at Florida Bulldog’s request.

Not when SCOTUS keeps involving itself in everyone of his cases.

Donald Trump was convicted by a jury of his peers, not us Dems. He was indicted by career prosecutors at the federal, state, and local level. Without the money of the cult behind him, and some partisan rulings by judges he'd be in prison. Any regular person would be in prison by now.

That doesn't appear to be what the law says.

That Florida statute applies to Florida cases. New York determines when a conviction is recorded for NY cases. If the Judge records the sentence in NY, but then withholds adjudication, that law would apply at that point. The conviction isn't final yet.

And a judge whose sole mission, Aileen Cannon, is to kill the case.

His opinion was based on an assumption, not what the current status of the case is.

No it wasn't.
