Personally, I think Biskupic ought to pay the innocent Georgia Thompson out of his own pocket, offer a written apology to her and the people of Wisconsin, quit the bar, and vow to Wisconsin citizens that he will not travel within a five-mile radius of any prosecutor's office.
Ever wonder how this guy looks at himself in the mirror every day after what he has done to numerous innocents? Really, how does this guy live with himself? Here's an excerpt from Foley's piece:
MADISON, Wis. - A state employee wrongly imprisoned for corruption asked a state panel Thursday to reimburse her for legal fees and other expenses totaling nearly $360,000.
Georgia Thompson deserves reimbursement from state taxpayers even though federal prosecutors brought the case that wrongly sent her to an Illinois prison for four months, her lawyer told the State Claims Board.
"There is no available relief under federal law for Ms. Thompson," Stephen Hurley said.Thompson, a Department of Administration employee, was convicted last year of steering a travel contract to a company with political ties to Democratic Gov. Jim Doyle.
She was sentenced to 18 months in prison and served four before a federal appeals ruled that she was innocent and ordered her freed.
Democrats in Congress are investigating whether the prosecution by U.S. Attorney Steven Biskupic in Milwaukee was politically motivated and part of a pattern of politicization in the Department of Justice. Biskupic, who was appointed by President Bush, has denied those claims.
