Will the usual ATPNers defend this?


Michigan GOP Chair Pleads Guilty to Harassing Dem Official, Threatening to Poison Her Dogs

Matthew Smith had previously denied to investigators that he called Jennifer Kelly, saying the call must have been spoofed, the police reports said.

"Because of the pleas, Smith could possibly be sentenced under the Holmes Youthful Trainee Act, which is a law that expunges records of criminal action for young offenders if they can avoid further trouble."

That could be okay if he had, when confronted, admitted guilt and apologized and groveled a bit. Instead he said he was not guilty, said the claims were false, said he didn't call her, said his number had been spoofed.

Not until after they got his phone records that showed he DID call her, did it become oopsie and in court it was he was just calling "with the intent to annoy her."

I'm not so sure I would be inclined to allow him to have it all just go away. Although, it will always be out there even if his record is cleared.
