BREAKING NEWS!

Today, February 19 is the day of reckoning for one of the defendants in the Bernardo Barrera mortgage fraud case, it was today at 9 am that Mr. John Arthur Romney was supposed to enter his plea and begin whatever lame ass sentence that Assistant State Attorney Bill Kostrzewski had agreed to give him.  But wait a minute!  Going through the court docket for Mr. Romneys case revealed a startling new development...


The case originally came in under ASA Kostrzewski name...

 

Then it was assigned to ASA Kostrzewski for trial...

 
But now, three days before his plea was FINALLY GOING TO BE ENTERED, we have this...
 

OH NO!  This new prosecutor ain't no Bill "let's make a deal" Kostrzewski!  I really wonder if the new prosecutor in charge of this case is going to honor the plea deal set in place by the previous ASA?  Should be interesting, we'll have a mid day update!

Update! In court today Mr Leclair tells the judge that he needs time to "evaluate" this case and that he needs another 30 days to do so. Interesting. I suppose now that there's a new prosecutor on the case, everything the previous prosecutor has done to date will come under scrutiny. Considering this is now the FOURTH time Mr Romney has come before the judge to enter his plea, in retrospect it may have not been such a good idea for his attorney to have cooperated with Mr Kostrzewski on all those senseless continuances...
