Don’t do the crime in case you can’t do the time.
Or in case you don’t need to lose your tax-free kiss within the mail.
But corrupt thieving convicted felon ex-Massachusetts State Police Lt. John Giulino apparently by no means watched the previous TV present Baretta, possibly as a result of he was too busy stealing $29,000 along with his badge and his gun and his free police cruiser.
In 2020, Giulino was stripped of his $90,000 tax-free pension pulled after he pleaded responsible to placing in for 85 additional time shifts on the Mass Turnpike that he didn’t work. He backed his felonious theft by writing faux site visitors tickets.
But now, at age 72, the greed-crazed crooked cop Giulino has discovered a district-court decide who decreed that the kleptomaniac cop ought to get his bloated state pension again.
It’s only one hack serving to one other. Call it skilled courtesy.
Let me ask you this: will you get a $90,000-a-year pension whenever you retire? And I’m guessing you’ve by no means been convicted of stealing greater than $29,000 in public funds.
Don’t do the crime in case you can’t do the time – except you’re a profession Massachusetts hack. In which case, steal as a lot as you may, as a result of there might be no penalties.
The hack decide who signed off on this newest heist is Mark J. Pasquariello of the Pittsfield District Court. He appears to know that his surprising ruling will most likely be overturned — in his resolution he acknowledges that “I am mindful that our appellate courts in addressing the issue of (pension) forfeiture have generally upheld the SBR (State Board of Retirement) decisions.”
Let’s hope the courts accomplish that once more, as a result of this man Giulino shouldn’t solely not be getting a kiss within the mail, he ought to nonetheless be locked up for all the cash he stole.
But as a substitute he’s free as a chicken, as a result of he adhered to the MSP’s historic motto: “To Protect and Steal.”
Giulino was a lieutenant in Troop E, which was so breathtakingly corrupt that it was disbanded by Gov. Charlie Baker.
Baker is similar bust-out pol who nominated Pasquariello to the bench after his lackluster profession in a one-man apply in Adams, dealing with wills and real-estate closings.
Not that there’s something fallacious with that. But you may guess this part-time payroll patriot by no means made anyplace close to his present $207,855-a-year judicial handout till he took early retirement within the hackerama.
Now, after dying and going to hack heaven himself, the decide feels sorry for his fellow payroll patriot. Klepto Cop was stripped of his kiss within the mail after his conviction on a six-count felony indictment. Giulino may have – ought to have – gotten 30 years in jail, and a positive of as much as $90,000.
Instead the thief acquired a wrist slap of probation, 100 hours of neighborhood service and an order to pay again the $29,018.54 that he stole from the taxpayers.
And he misplaced his pension, which is absolutely the worst factor that may occur to a crooked hack.
So Klepto Cop filed swimsuit, and located a formerly-starving lawyer with black robes who felt sorry for him.
The resolution lays out Giulino’s wages of sin, form of.
After shedding his $90,000 hack state pension, the decide notes with excessive unhappiness, final yr “the plaintiff received net Social Security income of $46 a month.”
He’s been married to a girl named Cheryl since he was 50 years previous. Last yr Klepto Cop and the missus reported “combined wages of $17,618.”
Cue the violins, please. Oddly, the hack decide doesn’t point out that in 2016, the corrupt MSP superior officer made $216,504, together with greater than $10,000 that he stole in additional time he didn’t work.
In 2015, Giulino pocketed over $215,000, together with $66,000 in additional time and one other $18,000 in stolen funds.
But then he acquired caught with each his palms within the until, and now we’re purported to really feel sorry for Mr. and Mrs. Klepto Cop.
You see, he needed to promote his crappy little home in Lanesboro for $375,000 due to “the Giulinos’ inability to make their mortgage payments… (they) realized little if any profit from the sale” after paying off their two – two! – mortgages of $183,000 and $100,000.
At the time of the listening to earlier than the hack decide, Giulino was “living in a modest, one-bedroom apartment located above a three-car garage” at his daughter’s dwelling in Chesterfield VA.
His darling daughter costs him $800 a month is lease, and he pays one other $700 a month for medical insurance. Mrs. G is pressured to work nights “at a local bakery.”
As for the one-time Mr. Big within the multi-million MSP organized-crime theft ring out on the Pike, Giulino “describes himself as ‘unemployable,’ due in part to the felony convictions.”
Imagine that – a sticky-fingered millionaire cop stuffs 1000’s in stolen money in his pockets, and now no person desires to rent him.
But wait, there’s extra. The decide is virtually weeping as he recounts the tragedy of this extinguished lawman’s lawbreaking. There however for the grace of God….
“The plaintiff suffers from a degenerative knee condition for which a double knee replacement has been recommended.”
Maybe Lt. Giulino wrecked his knees attempting to pull all these heavy luggage of stolen money out of the barracks.
But wait, he does have a enterprise to complement that beneficiant $46-a-month Social Security examine.
“The plaintiff’s ‘startup’ clock repair business does not recognize any profits and appears to be more of a hobby.”
A passion – you recognize, like writing faux site visitors citations to again up your falsified time sheets.
What a shame that even a low-level hack decide would attempt to give Klepto Cop his fats pension again. But you recognize what I all the time say about Massachusetts.
In the halls of justice, the one justice is within the halls.
