Feds seek an eleven-year sentence for Jasiel Correia, ex-Fall River mayor and now a convicted felon.

In an announcement that should chill many Massachusetts elected and appointed officials to their bones but probably will not, federal prosecutors are seeking that the now-convicted felon should serve 11 years in prison as well as cough up roughly $900,000 in various forfeitures and penalties.

Key rationales for seeking to lock him up and throw away the key as well as pick his pockets of what is left of what all he purloined includes both his cravenness as well as his abject and defiant denial that what all he did was wrong.

Labeling Correia as “worse than a thief,” the prosecutors pointed worded memorandum further noted that “unlike some crooked politicians who eventually accept responsibility, Correia remains defiant and in denial – even after a trial in which 33 witnesses testified against him, the jury convicted him of 21 felonies, and his own lawyer praised the fairness of the proceedings.”

So far, however, no word if the ladies at the Foxy Lady in Providence will be returning their gratuities provided to them by the now-convicted disgrace of a now also former mayor whom one can only reasonably assume tipped them with ill-gotten gains gained via his abusing his place of public trust rather than tipping them with the usual sorts of ill-gotten gains accumulated by those in the usual sorts of family businesses in various communities in the South Coast region as well as in Rhode Island.
