I definitely feel more positive about it now than I initially did. But there are still some questions, like how the hell does Vilma not know anyone was using his place? If his cousin is involved, how much did Vilma know about his cousin’s criminal tendencies?

I Dunnoooo…

I’m not trying to suggest that Vilma really had anything to do with it. But I’ve seen this sort of thing before, where a prosecutor will concoct the most insane scenario imaginable in order to advance his career…and actually succeed in selling it. Vilma owned the house, he let his family use it, and they used it at least once for criminal activity. It’s a small step between that and bringing a conspiracy charge before a grand jury.

I’m not saying it’s going to happen. Nassau County might have a conscientious DA. If so, they should thank God morning, noon, and night, because those guys are rare.

…it only fails at Duke. You mess around with the children of privilege, and you get your ass handed to you. (It doesn’t help, of course, if they’re actually innocent.)
