Justice is meted out now by who you are, the amount of money you have and in some cases by who your friends are in high places... I have no more faith in the justice system...

Just as an example... In the nineties a man representing himself as a contractor took money from me for an addition to my home.. Fortunately a friend did the framing... and got paid but the rest of the money was never paid to the sub contractors. I got lien on my home and had to go to mediation to resolve the case.

At the time I was caring for elderly parents and had time to go around to see if Phillip Casiola had done this to anyone else. He had. WE as a group brought charges.. The day he was to appear in court his attorney said he was in the hospital with a bad back.

Time frame ahead fifteen years. There is Phillip Casiola's name in the paper. He used his home to sell aircraft and parts to bilk customers of 4.5 million dollars.. He accepted a plea deal and was sentenced to two years of house arrest.

But the case is not over here... He was arrested October 11 after a two year investigation revealed he was operating a company from his Waterfront home as that of an estate planner.
He cheated the Allianz Life insurance company of $ 90.000

He pleaded to two counts of scheme to defraud and one count of fraud. The assistant state attorney and federal local investigators said Casciola defrauded customers of at least 4.5 million in the past few years.

The pleas were in every-one's best interest the defendant's lawyer said as Casciola avoided a prison sentence..

The lawyer also said, every business has dissatisfied customers...

Meanwhile my son's step daugher got picked up for selling drugs and is now in prison. She has to be in prison for a year and then go to a half way house where she is under surveillance for a year.

After that she will be on probation which if she violates she will be sent to prison for a longer term

He and his wife are taking care of her two children ages 8 and 2 and they are both in their late forties...

Where is justice here ?
