When you trust too much

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A Louisville minister forfeited a $70,000 bond Thursday because a defendant on trial for attempted murder fled before the jury reached a verdict, and, in doing so, violated the conditions of his release. 

Jefferson Circuit Court Judge Annie O'Connell expressed sympathy for David Fortney, who paid the bond for Vernon Jackson's release, but ruled he took on the responsibility for Jackson to appear in court and he fled before the trial had ended.

    2. He's a "pastor"! Every penny he has he fleeced from his flock. That's what his business is.

  6. The pastor is quite the piece of work. Owns upwards of 40 properties, one of which was nailed for drugs. Always manages to con his way out of trouble. Too bad he's only out $7k. Think if I were the bondsman, I'd pay the right reverend a visit...

    It is not a conundrum. It is crystal clear.
    The good pastor -- and never mind that he appears to be the archetype of a black huckster and soul merchant -- trusted an other black person who did what they do best, namely shirking their responsibilities, and now this Vernon Jackson is on the run and the pastor is out to the tune of 70.000 $ US.
    Well, tough luck. That is how these "Guess the Race" games go.
