Vindicate: to clear, as from an accusation, imputation, suspicion, or the like: to vindicate someone's honor.
Former House Speaker Ray Sansom was not vindicated. The case against him was left in limbo due to Judge Terry Lewis's ruling on a key piece of prosecutorial evidence.
Vindication would be a not guilty verdict in his trial on charges of grand theft and conspiracy. Until it is proven otherwise, Sansom is still a crook, but he will be in good company when he rejoins his cronies in the Republican controlled legislature.
Hold on to your hat, there is more! To add insult to injury the tax payers here in Florida are going to be picking up the tab for the Sansom defense.
My bride, the Belle of Ballast Point, is of the opinion that somebody paid somebody off. It will be interesting to see who gets what out of this litigious cluster-fuck.
My money is riding on Lewis. When Prick-with-ears Scott bullies through his agenda to split the Florida Supreme Court into civil and criminal branches I am thinking he will be needing an additional judge. I may be wrong, but I think Lewis will be his boy.
What do you think?
