Christie Crime Digest-Volume IV

[rocktivity]

127. Wasn't there a movie titled "Get Out Your Handkerchiefs"?

And cue the violins -- here comes Bridget Kelly's closing arguments:

In an emotional presentation that lasted more than two hours, Michael Critchley cast client Bridget Kelly as a single mother faced with an administration more concerned with keeping Christie’s nascent presidential hopes alive than with exposing the truth when details of the scandal surfaced three years ago...

Cupping his hands as if holding a megaphone, Critchley nearly yelled, “Chris Christie, where are you?”

Kelly was “the odd person out,” he said. “The inner circle, they know what the code is: ‘Chris Christie knows nothing.’ Bridget Kelly has a different version, and that makes her dangerous. They want that mother of four to take the fall for them. Cowards. Cowards.”

Critchley reminded jurors...that the government didn’t call Christie...to testify because Kelly is telling the truth..

Hands up who didn't see a damsel-in-distress sob story coming. And what stopped the defense from calling Christie to testify -- the fact that his "telling the truth" that Kelly was the link in the chain of command between him and Wildstein would have incriminated EVERYONE?
