Comments on: Rumors of his Demise Greatly Exaggerated http://cookcountypd.org/blog/2008/05/19/rumors-of-his-demise-greatly-exaggerated/ Latest news involving the Cook County Public Defenders Association AFSCME LOCAL 3315 Wed, 20 Aug 2008 01:16:29 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3 By: Tamara http://cookcountypd.org/blog/2008/05/19/rumors-of-his-demise-greatly-exaggerated/#comment-3916 Tamara Sat, 02 Aug 2008 21:18:00 +0000 http://cookcountypd.org/blog/2008/05/19/rumors-of-his-demise-greatly-exaggerated/#comment-3916 If Billmaier didn't know the drugs were in his belongings, then how did Jordan get them? Did Jordan start rifling through his papers? And is Billmaier claiming that Jordan's girlfriend put them there? How would that have happened? There was quite a bit of contraband there. Also interesting, Jordan's girlfriend was charged with bringing contraband into the jail, sounds like she was with Billmaier when the arrest was made. Let's stop making excuses people, the correct answer is usually the simplest one, i.e., Billmaier was delivering. He's wouldn't be the first and he won't be the last. Perhaps he was aiming to take a cut from the profits, cigarettes alone command a very high price in the jails and prisons these days, you know.

Perhaps he merely showed poor judgment in walking in the jail without checking what was in his files. You're right. Stranger things have happened. Fair enough Bob.

How in the heck do you secretly conceal 4 ounces of weed in TINFOiL so that a "reasonable lawyer" won't have a clue what you just gave him? Then to throw in 4 MORE ounces of tobacco & 6 ecstasy pills..... What did she do to it, chemically reduce it to dust? Shame on him for not bothering to even look at what he was given by the girlfriend PRIOR to taking it in with him on his visit. Who does that? An why is someone who works for Stanley working without malpractice insurance? Why does the firms website say he's been licensed since 2005, yet the ARDC says he wasn't licensed until August of 2006? I know....it's none of my business.....I'll leave it alone... Dunno Kulmeet, 4 ounces of weed is a crapload!

Give the man a fair trial. What if the facts are that Billmair was not a regular at the jail and represented the individual visited in jail on civil matters only? Has anyone seen how the contraband was packaged? Could a novice to the criminal mileu be duped into muling in contraband that was well secreted without knowledge? What if " Mr. Billmaier was just totally set up and is now between a rock and a hard place while trying to restore his good name" as his lawyer, Stanley Hill said? Let's wait and see what the facts really are before we rush to judgment. Shame shame for convicting him without even reading one report!

I still can't figure out how someone would hire a mope like that in the first place. I'm not familiar with this new guy that just got busted tho. Never heard of him before. When he gets done with whatever sentence he gets, Stroger will probably hire him to revamp the TASC program! He'll proly start out at $120k and get 3 months vacation time and a county car as a signing bonus.... I remember Barry Matis and his whole fiasco a few years back.
