Hey Gerald Lefcourt -- If you want to give your karma a shining than contact me and give me some free legal advice asap....have a nice day.

See The New York Times article.....Note from Suzannah Troy -- below an excerpt to read more --- see below --- in my opinion the Haggerty trial was a travesty because the Judge, the DA and even Haggerty's lawyers all pretended Mike Bloomberg did not break campaign laws which he blatantly did and in also commited perjury. Perjury not protected by the immunity Cy Vance had to give Mike and Team Bloomberg. (Side note == u know I despise Joe Tacopina. In contrast Lefcourt's website and Lefcourt and old guy well preserved is heads and shoulders above a Tacopina. That being said did Lefcourt removed the legal document that I linked to way back that if anything proved we don't have a Justice system that worked because no offense Gerald but Jeffrey Esptein guiltier than sin and that tranny was probably one of many victims that Epstein preyed on here in NYC and got away with it. That being said I would want Lefcourt on my dream team of lawyers and email him my stuff and sent him my Mayor Bloomberg King of NY" poster.
In this case I hope Lefcourt pulls a rabbit out of his hat because Mike Bloomberg broke campaign laws and wasn't held accountable. In my opinion Rudy got away with everything these folks got busted for and why they went gunning after Liu with a wire tap -- well read my series Dead Man Walking because Liu busted to many billionaire Oligarchs of NY.
Like Elliot Spitzer they were going to take him out. (Short list, Bloomberg, Murdoch, Hutchins...)
Hey Gerald if you can't help me some free advice on my suing the NYPD than can you help Joe Tacopina t get a suit that fits him as nicely as ur's fit u?

"One Manhattan resident who worked for a nonprofit agency said she thought she could be fair and impartial, but contended that the billions of dollars spent on the recent presidential race had been “an atrocity.”
Prosecutors used a challenge to remove her from the pool, without giving a reason.
A software engineer from Westchester County said he believed that money spent on the political system “was drowning out the issues.”
But he said he did not believe that would affect his ability to be fair and impartial. “I don’t see this as really a campaign financing issue so much as, ‘Did they break the law?’ ” he said. “I think I can separate it based on that.”
He was removed by the defense, also without explanation.
The final seven-woman, five-man jury appears to be diverse racially and ethnically (although Mr. Lefcourt has said that its lack of Asians concerned him). Five jurors are from Manhattan, four are from the Bronx and three are from Westchester and Rockland Counties. The jurors include an intensive-care-unit nurse, a department store executive, a man who works in construction, a museum worker, and a man who said he delivered newspapers, among other jobs. Two jurors are retired.
One Bronx woman, a research librarian at a law firm, was not challenged by either side despite holding strong views about the influence of lobbyists and political action committees, which she said sometimes made it hard for elected officials “to be completely independent in their thinking.”
Would she hold that against the defendants, the judge asked, “because they were involved in a process that involved raising money for candidates?”
“No,” she said. “The process is legal. Whether I like it or not doesn’t matter.”
The judge pressed her further: Would she want to “send a message through this verdict?”
“No,” she replied. She said that the issue was whether the defendants “were following the letter of the law, and if they were, then that is fine.” If she disliked the process and wanted to “change matters,” she added, “it is up to me to do something when I vote” in elections.
“But not in court,” she said. “That’s not the way to do it.”"
