Dear Ray,
The time has come for you to cut Richburg and Odom loose, and cop a plea. The first one to deal is going to get the best deal. Based on the Miami Herald story, the latest from Richburg’s files pretty much makes conviction a foregone conclusion, and they are in a lot better position than you to weather what’s coming.
If you jump in quick enough you might avoid prison, but I have to be honest, if the State’s Attorney has a political bone in his body, he has to see this case as the basis for a run at Attorney General. Saving the state $6 million in hard times and battling corruption look really good on a resume, and your political “friends” have already deserted you.
Cutting the deal can be your first step towards redemption, and you have to know either one of the others wouldn’t hesitate to sell you down the river.
The time has come to tell the truth.

I don’t think some folks know what the meaning of the word “truth” is…
The only reason I bother is that at one point Ray knew what truth was all about. Before he got involved with politics he was an effective director of local non-profits.
Richburg and Odom were always on the road to hell, but most of the local good ol’ boys couldn’t figure that out. They talked the typical Republican free-market, business-is-good garbage while stealing every penny they could from taxpayers.
