Bryant trial to begin with Jury Selection

by: Jason Springer

If Sharpe James was round #1, get ready for round # 2 with the beginning of the Wayne Bryant trial:
Jury selection is scheduled to begin Monday in federal court.
Here's what he's charged with:
Authorities say he was paid $200,000 over four years by the Gloucester County Board of Social Services, yet worked less than 15 hours total.

He's also accused of holding down a job at the University of Medicine and Dentistry in New Jersey that had no responsibilities at all.

A judge dismissed charges related to another job at Rutgers University's Camden campus, where he gave just a handful of lectures each year. That charge was dropped because prosecutors never accused him of using his political influence to get the position.

Authorities say the extra jobs boosted Bryant's state pension from $28,000 a year to $81,000.

If he's convicted on all counts, he's facing a few years in prison.  Bryant tried to say the case was politically motivated, but that argument didn't fly with the judge so things will commence this week.

Can someone explain to me ... (0.00 / 0)
how a guy who steals $264 from a grocery store can get 5-10 years in jail but a guy who steals hundreds of thousands of dollars from the taxpayers might get a few years?
