Chicago Tribune | Ryan found guilty on all counts
At a news conference after the verdict, Ryan said he will appeal. “The decision today is not in accordance with the kind of public service I’ve given to the people of Illinois over 40 years,” he said.
What the heck kind of post-verdict statement is that? Is he saying he deserves a pass and a pat on the back for all his years of service? Is he actually justifying his actions???
Yes, there were screwy things going on with the jury in the last couple of weeks. But this comment makes me wonder just how unrepentant Ryan is.
