How exactly would Lisi get off? I know the judge has openly disdained the case, but why is the case considered weak? They have an undercover officer who bought drugs supplied by Lisi and Lisi was then found with the marked bills. I knew guys in high school who went to jail for less. What am I missing??
The ombud report is a fun read. I'm really enjoying the bromance subplot between Mike Toolaram and the mayor. If anyone makes a movie about this, it should either be about the special bond between these 2 big men, or focus more on Doug and be called "Councillor Z."
That's what I'm thinking, as well. They were following him around by car, plane, GPS, and there's no solid evidence to charge Lisi?? There were times when I was watching the detectives on the stand being questioned by the defense and thinking to myself "is this amateur hour?" One detective had made notes while he was on the case and he didn't even bother bringing them to court. Another detective said the camera on the pole filming Lisi's driveway wasn't on 24 hours a day and there were even times when he failed to notify other detectives when Lisi was seen leaving his house. Unbelievable.I admittedly haven't been following all that closely, but I'm not sure there's been any admissible evidence that Lisi supplied the drugs. Speculation and hearsay don't cut it.

Ford takes issue w Tory newsers in protocol lounge "in blatant contravention" of fire code. Max # of people in there I've seen is 20
The fire code? Grasping at straws I see!

Ford: "I wished to speak to a select few people." This may be the longest written statement I've ever seen from his office.

@jpags Guessing it's because he knows he can't address the media today without getting asked about drunk driving. So he'll hide.
Damage control at its finest.

Drunk driving? That's the least of his worries compared to completely perverting the entire apparatus of City Hall Security. Fire each and every one of them, especially those at the top turning a blind eye to this BS in the name of "volatile situation".

Maybe the "possession of the proceeds of crime" charge might be the most likely one to stick? May 8 is when Justice Khawly is hoping to make his verdict.Cop's testimony and marked bills used in the transaction with Lisi is not speculation.
