Glenmoregate: Embezzling Comer gets another 3 years

Tim Brown need a month on da lam in Nelson County to shed dis holiday weight. Dem Snickers bars gotcha boi gainin mad weight, mane.

@Rambo: But you'd also have to grow a beard and kind of look like Richard Blaise's dad.

Jimi, Relax, I'm playing. You can get a lot more time for robbing a convenience store and getting $200. I don't understand the light sentence.

@rambo: the difference between what this idiot did and some thug robbing a convenience store is that Comer's was NOT a violent crime. Just think, OJ murdered two people and got off scot free. Maybe Comer should have asked for a change of venue to California where he could get 12 morons for jurors.

Realist, after watching a cop shoppe detective commit perjury on the witness stand, the jury said O J was "not guilty". Having to remind all you guys and girls here all the time is getting old.

wow this is un -believable what is this world coming to.I get kicked out the city market for yelling at a lady driving the wrong direction up a one way street and this dude steals from his own family and friends and gets 29 months and jiffy lube says they will hire him as a manager .HE STEALS MONEY FROM FRIENDS AND FAMILY wow i dont get it

@gasbag: In the OJ case the jury decided to ignore the evidence and punish the cops and the prosecution by setting OJ free. All because Fuhrman used the "n" word. BFD. Furman is a hero in my book because of the Michael Skakel case in CT. If you think it was appropriate to set a murderer free because a detective was embarrassed to admit he used a racial epithet, then so be it. My main point remains.......Comer didn't commit a violent crime. Also, the money was repaid. Politicians like Charlie Rangel and the current Treasury Secretary have stolen almost as much money by cheating on their taxes, with NO punishment, and nobody seems to care. But a dufus like Comer does a white collar crime involving a few hundred thousand, REPAYS THE MONEY, and some idiots want to put him in prison for life.

I'm sure they did check all the bank accounts and don't you think the homeowner's association had a THOROUGH accounting done on their books and tracked down every last cent that was stolen? Again, HE DIDN'T USE A GUN/KNIFE/WHATEVER AND REPAID THE MONEY!! Your so-called blue collar crooks use force and sometimes wound/beat up, even kill their victims and don't repay anything. If you think Comer is going to be living large in prison, think again. I'm not defending this idiot, only saying you should put things in perspective. HE IS BEING PUNISHED, which is more than I can say for a lot of crooks, especially politician crooks.

realist, you're really narrow minded. It's not totally about his using a racial epithet.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Fuhrman , and I quote....

"With the jury absent on September 6, 1995, the defense asked Fuhrman whether or not he had ever falsified police reports or if he had planted or manufactured evidence in the Simpson case. He invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination."

In the same wiki page, he speaks of, and I once again quote... " "Yeah we work with (******) and gangs. You can take one of these (*******), drag 'em into the alley and beat the sh*t out of them and kick them. You can see them twitch. It really relieves your tension." He went on to say "we had them begging that they'd never be gang members again, begging us." He said that he would tell them, "You do what you're told, understand, (******)?"

If this man is your hero, you have my sympathy. And trust me, there's thousands more Furmans out there on the street wearing a badge and gun. We have a couple of them in this area. They simply have not been caught, charged and convicted..... yet.

Your hero, and many more like him, is what's causing people to lose all respect for the law enforcement community nationwide.

@gasbag: From marthamoxley.com: "Fuhrman's interest in the case gave Moxley's family new hope that the murderer will finally be brought to justice. "He really has stirred things up, and if he can focus attention on the case, we're grateful to him," said the victim's mother, Dorthy Moxley. "That's my life, these days," she said. "The hope that someday we'll know who did this."

Thanks to Fuhrman, her killer was finally caught and convicted. But I'd have to assume, based on what you've written, that Fuhrman somehow planted evidence in that case as well, leading to a miscarriage of justice for Michael Skakel. So I guess it was a good thing that Fuhrman's perjury resulted in that angel OJ not being falsely convicted. Yeah, right.

realist, I knew a cop in Richmond who had a pretty good reputation within the department and community. He had won several awards for service to the community in which he had served. This should excuse the fact that he was also out robbing numerous banks in his off duty hours before he was finally caught?

Great point about letting so called blue collar criminals off the hook for the monetary damage caused . Part of criminal sentence should have a realistic and actual monetary judgement made against the criminal in respect to damages . Injured parties should not have the additional burden and expense of being required to file civil suit against useless dangerous low life .

Frank, Fuhrman took the fifth when asked if he had ever falsified police reports or if he had planted or manufactured evidence in the Simpson case. This question, a simple yes or no question, was most definitely related to the OJ case. Any decent honest law enforcement officer in the entire USA should have been able to answer this question with the answer being a big and definite NO!

It would have been a sad day in American history if the jury had convicted OJ after Fuhrman refused to answer this simple question under oath.

Gasbag ---I don't think he took the fifth when asked specifically about planting or falsifying evidence in the criminal case as it was brought against simpson regarding the murders of Nicole and Ron . I am pretty sure his great sin at the trial was that when asked by F Lee Baily if he had ever called anyone by the " N " word ,he replied no. When asked by F Lee if there were witness to the contrary Furman said that person would be lying . Furman was later shown to be lying on that point when being reminded he used to arrest people for DWB . That is hardly sufficient reason to spring a multiple murderer back onto society , any society in any country . He later showed up with an armed crew but luckily on a fluke didn't kill any more people but now is where he should have been back in 95 .......Any moron on a jury would have realized he was guilty and not released him back to kill more innocent people . The US justice system is sorely lacking in that only one side has appeal rights in such henous crimes .A common sense Law giving the Government appeal rights is missing which adds to the high murder rate in the US . Strange there is no effort to repair that major flaw .

Not a seasoned evidence giver here. :)

I probably haven't testified in 40 cases over the last 30 years. As a matter of fact, I was the defendant in several of them between 1997 and 2005, anything from a simple traffic case to a false arrest in a felony. But at least the many judges hearing the cases knew I was being truthful in each and every case or I would have been convicted of something. Fuhrman can never say the same.

I think we will have to agree to disagree on many facts in the O J Simpson murder cases. But the bottom line is the criminal jury said he was not guilty of murder. And yet the civil jury said he was responsible for the wrongful deaths.

Gasbag

Do you think OJ is innocent?

Truthfully, yes, I think O J Simpson is innocent. You have to study the background between Nicole and Mark Fuhrman very carefully to understand why Fuhrman may have had an ulterior motive in setting OJ up for the fall. Or even better yet, tell me how Fuhrman was the first cop on scene even though he was off duty.

You also have to remember I have been there, done that. More than once. After being a deputy sheriff for almost 3 decades in total, I was charged in several fictitious crimes, and cleared by competent judges in all I might add. One trial was a three ring circus with a judge having to hide his laughter of the testimony given by commonwealth witnesses by covering his face and faking a cough. I have seen first hand what cops with ulterior motives are capable of. In the last false arrest, I am a firm believer that the warrant was served in the manner in which it was so as to give a few rookies a justifiable reason to assassinate me. They didn't know the ulterior motive of the cop sitting in the background directing their actions by cell phone. The rookies and myself were all placed in a very dangerous situation by a cop with an ulterior motive.

I'm sorry somebody had to introduce OJ into this discussion. But it frustrates me to no end when people refuse to believe that there's a small handful of lying cops in every city and county who will set people up and insure they will go to trial for a crime they did not commit.

realist, I believe in and place faith in the justice system we have in place in this country. It has served me well as a deputy sheriff, a citizen, and even when I found myself as a defendant in several false arrests. And this same system said the state did not have enough evidence to find O J guilty "beyond a reasonable doubt". Not only did the state not prove it's case, they also introduced the jury members to perjury under oath by a cop, something the jurors probably refused to believe even existed before the trial.

Furthermore, I find it absolutely amazing that DNA is now setting innocent men free after they have already served 15 to 20 years for crimes they did not commit in the first place. It's also a very scary thought when you think about how many innocent people we have put to death in this country before DNA analysis came along.
