Robert Ray, pursuer of former president Bill Clinton was arrested yesterday for stalking a woman named Tracy Loughlin,
(I believe that's her on the left)
It seems that Ms. Loughlin didn't want Mr. Robert Ray, pursuer of President Clinton around anymore. "She tried to end it four months ago" someone told the New York Post, but Mr. Ray just couldn't seem to control himself--those urges, his urges-- to see her, be near her, smell again the sweet perfume of...her. Well it was just too much for old Bobby. "He kept calling her, sending her e-mails and showing up at places he knew she would be."
Robert Ray surrendered to cops last night and was charged with fourth-degree stalking.
Of course, rather than go through the system and spend a night in jail like almost everyone else, Mr. Ray was given a desk-appearance ticket and freed.
Here's the rub: Ray, a rich republican who stalked some PR chick is going to be let go with a non-criminal conviction and no jail time. I guarantee it. He's walking. But as this case unfolds, I urge you all to remember what happened to Sol Wactler, the esteemed former chief judge of New York's highest court. He too was charged with stalking--in his case a woman named Joy Silverman. But he (a republican judge turned liberal champion) was prosecuted by the feds, arrested in a sting that involved dozens of agents and ultimately sentenced to a substantial period of incarceration.
Talk about arbitrary and capricious...

You must know the law better than I. However, “Ray, a rich republican who stalked some PR chick is going to be let go with a non-criminal conviction and no jail time. I guarantee it. He's walking.” what happened to “innocent until proven guilty”? I hope you’re a better writer than a lawyer.
“Ray, a rich republican who stalked some PR chick is going to be let go with a non-criminal conviction and no jail time. I guarantee it. He's walking.” Well, to bad for you I guess. I recommend you put some interesting pictures in that book of yours.
Anonymous,
Granted, I am a little biased, but your point is completely lost in your incoherency. Feige speaks from experience, and he's a great writer, too. Your garbled criticism is not convincing enough to change my mind.

"Innocent until proven guilty" is a pretty easy one to grasp.
Then again, no wonder YOU think Feige's a great lawyer/ writer.
Its the truth finally, police officers either don't know or are instructed not to give desk appearance tickets for many misdemeanor offenses even with no prior criminal history or a sexual offense, yet I read that those who are caught stalking literally Offee who happens to be a court officer was caught with wigs following and he got a DAT.
Although folks get away with things all the time, most jurisdictions outside new york city including here in the suburbs give out dats, while the attorneys and departments try to say its completely discretionary and there is no right to one, one court while rejecting a suit did say that it might consider a claim if the DAT was issued arbitrarily in response to not issuing protesters
so this is an issue we should not let the police or rather the supervisor who may or may not know one can get a DAT even when one wants to give one out this discretion.
