Amazingly, Biden’s Niece Avoids Prison for Hitting Cop ..................................................................... New York Magazine ^ \| 2/5 \| Adam Martin Joe Biden's niece, Caroline Biden, got into some trouble with the law last fall, getting herself arrested after taking a swing at a cop who responded to a call about a fight Biden got in with her roommate. But because no cops were injured, prosecutors agreed to let her avoid jail and to dismiss her case if she stays out of trouble. Biden wasn't in court (she's at an inpatient facility for "her issues"), but her two lawyers "presented a sworn affidavit indicating she would accept the offer."

NAACP Asks Mass. House Not To Expel Congressman Convicted of Beating Girlfriend 2.7.2014 by Jeff Dunetz truthrevolt.org On Thursday afternoon, the Massachusetts House of Representatives will vote on whether or not to expel Rep. Carlos Henriquez (D-MA) who is currently serving a six-month sentence for holding down and beating his then girlfriend because she didn't want to have sex. Strangely, the NAACP is urging the House to allow Henriquez? to keep his seat. According to the Boston Herald: “The NAACP, New England Area Conference (NEAC), respectfully requests that the Massachusetts House of Representatives abstain from voting in the matter of the expulsion of Representative Carlos Henriquez, expected to come before the House today,” the organization said in a letter. “In the alternative, Members of the House are asked to vote against the expulsion of their colleague.” The NAACP notes that Henriquez’s criminal conviction for assaulting a woman is under appeal, and states that the Legislature currently has “no rule for expulsion that applies to misdemeanor convictions.” “Representative Henriquez was duly elected by the electorate and there is no legal basis upon which the House of Representatives can properly act,” the NAACP said in its statement. “Delaying any decision on the House Ethics Committee’s recommendation at this time would allow for a fair process to take place, as required under the law.” Being a civil rights organization the NAACP should be supporting the woman who was beaten, rather than the criminal.
