CnSYD,

You can’t entrap someone who is a willing participant. This jury was sidetracked by the freakshow of an attorney that Burgess had.

Wil, Anderson is not that bad. We just have and have had a few bad politicians. Our current crop of Council members are great folks who are trying to eradicate the sins of the past.

We still have a few bad apples, but that to will be eliminated in the essence of time.

it seems that in willie’s sic world, if you’re connected (and not named mark sanford) you’re guilty when charged. BUT you are not necessarily guilty when you ACTUALLY plead guilty. have i got it straight, will “i-pled-guilty-to-it-but-i-didn’t-really-beat-my-girlfriend” folks?

Have not a clue about the individuals and this situation. But I do know how law enforcement runs stings. It borders on and many times crosses the line on entrapment. The object is to get the suspect to say something, anything, that they can slap handcuffs on them. They can’t go back to the station empty handed.

The words that cracked me up the most were “Anderson elite.” Live in the county, can’t find a single one.

PS — word has it that the best friend could soon be headed to the Upstate for a new job at a research university………

That would be former State Rep. Fletcher Smith!

I beg to differ, FITS. Chesterfield County government has got to top Anderson on corruption. Trickle-down effect from Washington and Cola Town, I suppose.

According to bloggers on the solicitor issue, our local rep has had the solicitor investigation shut down. The story has fallen off the radar. Very little in the local media about it. We all pretty much knew nothing would happen anyway, save for a few resignations. Citizens who spoke out about those involved are now simply waiting for repercussions, as it was stated under “Mercy Ministries Accounts Frozen” that they are being planned by those in office who were exposed. No paper trail, no convictions, right?

All I want to know is where were Anderson County Council members Cindy Wilson and Eddie Moore when all of this was taking place? I know Bob Waldrep could not remember where he was yesterday to save his life. But, the rest, I want answers from.
