Boo-hoo Dep't: Trump has been 'deserted,' former federal prosecutor says

36. I was involved because she had defrauded our client, a bank, out of about $40,000.

She was to be sentenced because she had been found guilty of defrauding a car dealer.

We had been able to freeze most of the bank’s money in a credit bureau where she had deposited it. As our case pended, she began sending letters to our office. They were typed, all caps, with no margins; not top, bottom or left or right. They were nonsensical, but about every third word was “fucken.” She also wrote to the bank president that her devil dogs were going to kill his wife, and bite off his “nut balls.” Eventually, the letters began arriving at our office with multicolored dust, which freaked out the secretarial staff. Not me, though; I just started checking my car for bombs in the morning.

Before her sentencing hearing, I checked the court file for the date and time of the hearing. When I opened it, I saw a familiar looking letter. It was addressed to the judge, who was a somewhat stocky Italian American. It began: “Dear Judge Critelli, You fat dago bastard.” After that, she got rude.

She was to be sentenced on two charges. One was a felony, and one was a misdemeanor. Judge Critelli sentenced her to ten years on one, and five years on the other. The county attorney had to remind the judge that the latter charge had a maximum sentence of one year. The judge was a little pissed.

The local paper published a picture of ol’ Lillian entering the courthouse on her walker. My secretary photo reduced it, laminated it, and gave it to me as a gift. I carried it in my wallet for years, as a reminder of one of my first cases.
