WALL STREET COWBOYS live in the NYC criminal system, where wealth gets away with anything. Case in point is the wrist-tap Prosecutors are dealing for the killing of World Trade Center survivor Ms. Florence Cioffi.
DWI plus leaving the scene. Mr. George Anderson, CEO of Enterprise Engineering at 115 Broadway, New York City, pled guilty to getting wasted, driving his SUV down Water Street at 60 m.p.h., and knocking Ms. Cioffi flying. Crushed her.
Family and friends get to appeal for Court reinstatement of charges, February 27th. That means overcoming the Prosecutors. Keep in mind: Flo was a mere commoner.
Uniquely -- EEI does a lot of work for Merrill Lynch -- so he gets:
-- 16 weekend days in jail
-- 200 hours of Community Service
-- $350 fine
-- OPERATING A MOTOR VEHICLE WHILE INTOXICATED pled guilty
-- CRIMINALLY NEGLIGENT HOMICIDE dismissed
-- VEHICULAR MANSLAUGHTER dismissed
Anybody, anywhere, ever seen a 16-day sentence for DWI homocide ??? Russia, for Stalin? One of Saddam Hussein's kids?
BTW: Flo's family supposed to apologize to Anderson, EEI, and Merrill ? Not complain, grovel. Who's holding the shotgun or the SUV steering wheel is what matters. DETAILS BTF
Wealth is a license to kill. Law is a Hollywood fantasy ?
CEO drives drunk. Kills pedestrian. Flees the scene. Returns later, but provides no assistance to victim.
16-days in slam. Compared to this, Cheney's shotgun blast looks like an April Fool's joke.

Some of the NYC press is covering this story. Not many, not much. Its all below the radar. The !@#$(&^%$ Merrill connection is too powerful. $$$$$$$ and long-term chits for the lawyers in the Prosecutors' office.
If you're going to kill somebody, first make your money on Wall Street.
You'll miss a few Saturday barbies and a Yankees game.
