Turner, Wilkerson plead not guilty before crowd of supporters

So the photos are fake.

Not like those other photos he was showing off after the invasion of Iraq in 2003.

This take's the cake, now I've heard it all. This guy is so out of it he'll proclaim the photos a fake because he knew he took more money than what's on the film. Good luck with your defense, oh by the way the moon landing was fake also.

Chuck, you would know all about fake photos, wouldn't you?

Wow - now he says this might not be him? How can he possibly say this now? All this time has gone by and now he throws this out there? Stop grasping at straws Chuckie and face the facts that Dianne threw you under the bus!!!!
Stop wasting the tax payers money with a trial and do the time!!

typical - even though he was caught with his hand in the cookie jar he is crying
that he was set up. What a great example he is setting for the youth of his community.."If you get caught -deny, deny, deny - then lie, lie, lie" God forbid he
set an example and admit his guilt and accept his punishment. Its alwyas "spmeone else's fault"

Send this clown to jail - he and Wilkerson should have been locked up long ago!

he's serious? you've got to be kidding me.

Next thing you know they'll play the "Race" card...oh wait they already have!!!!!!!

Just go away, far away and dont ever come back!

No actually, you would know if it was you, or wasn't you, I know I don't have any pictures of me taking a bribe, I don't have to speculate.

>Not like those other photos he was showing off after the invasion of Iraq in >2003

I missed this. What other photos?

we already knew he had no integrity - this is no surprise.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who remembers Chuck's disgusting libel of our troops, using his own fake photos. What an incredible jerk!

Fake photos? If this wasn't so pathetic, it would be hilarious. The saddest part is that some people will believe him

He got the Globe to print secret pictures of Iraqi prison torture from US GIs. Turned out that the pictures were stills from a German S&M porno film.

Hey Chuckie,

Will you just shut up and go away !!! Have you lost touch with "reality" ?

The photos MAY be fake?!
He's not sure?!
Is he saying, "That may be me taking bribe money, or it may not be."?

Does he mean to say, "These pictures are fakes. I've taken bribe money, but I don't recall wearing that outfit on the day I did so. "?

This week's episode of Boston's Lawmakers & Disorder is great!

This sounds oddly familiar. Didn't R. Kelly deny it was him in the video?
The only difference is R. Kelly got off b/c he had more money and could afford a better lawyer.

Fu Manchu is going to be awfully surprised if more than one photo turns up. Assembled in sequence at roughly 24 FPS. With audio.

Next time the photo is displayed in an news article, I want to see a bra drawn in.

""It's rather pathetic, isn't it? Rather pathetic." says the lawyer.

No, your client is pathetic. As are all of his supporters who refuse to see their hero is nothing more than a corrupt politician. I hope both of them go behind bars for a few years.

All I want to know is if all of these "supporters" were wearing their "stop snitching" t-shirts in court......God, these two have no shame and zero dignity.....You were caught on tape WITH AUDIO......You have no right to continually lie to your supporters, who are obviously weak minded to believe a word that comes out of your thieving mouths

I believe him........... There not a doubt about it in my mind........ It's Burl Ives

I think DW did the right thing by resigning, which says she's guilty, but pleaded not guilty....go figure
Turner, on the other hand won't shut his mouth....they ought to take him out and hang him upside down by his - - - -

I love our system of justice. Everybody pleads "not guilty" and in the absence of representation the judge will enter a plea of "Not Guilty" on tha accuseds behalf. The most ludicrous demonstration of this type of machination is When Jack Ruby shot Oswwald on National TV, witnessed by MILLIONS of people but the initial plea was NOT GUILTY! Then again we have Teddy the buffon that waited 14 hours to sober up before reporting the drowning. Then high priced shysters got a closed hearing. Ami I a cynic??? NOT GUILTY!!!

200 supporters in court? where does he find these fools, and why are they not at work!
face the facts, HE IS GUILTY!
time to vote someone else in fot your handouts.

Chuck Turner and his traveling circus show is an absolute shame. Chuck Turner is simply preying on those who they themselves are simple minded people who do not know any better, if they did they would not have been there today. However they have nothing better to do. Don't beleive me, ask yourself this question how do 200 people show up to a daytime time rally at a court house? Don't they have jobs? or do they all work third shift? No the majority of these people are out of work on welfare and could use some guidance to get themselves on their feet. Instead Chuck Turner uses them like a dog and pony show. The FBI has much better things to do then to set up a small time politician like Chuck Turner. It is time that these people who are allowing themselves to be used by Chuck Turner wake up and read the facts of the case that has been brought before the court and put their supoport behind a politician who truly cares about them.

These two should get married, adopt our good friend Father Paul Shanley, and then they all can focus on their so called 'innocent' activities. As my father used to say many years ago, for every fish you catch on a hook, you miss many more who get away just in time. You have to wonder how many times these three got away with things over the years in the nick of time. I suspect what they are charged with, and what Shanley went to jail for, are far from what they did in total. They make me want to vomit.

He keeps saying he doesn't want to be tried in the media, then keeps holding press conferences. You can't have it both ways.

ME THINKS THE GENTLEMAN PROTESTS TOO MUCH!

Next thing we'll hear is they grew up in crime ridden neighborhoods and broken home, with abusive single parents on drugs, went to inferior schools that taught stuff they couldn't understand, and had nothin' to do but watch TV and hangout. They were engaged in fundraising for the 2008 election receiving bundled campaign contributions as a consequence of working with minority entrepreneurs starting businesses and creating jobs in the Community.

Feds watch Turner for 18 months. Wonder what else they found?

I still think George Bush made him do it.

What could the FBI possibly have to gain by taking Chuck out? Yes, one of the most liberal states in the U.S. that voted for Deval and Obama overwhelmingly has an ax to grind with a city councilor from Boston.

Seriously, are the only people holding on to the monster called racism the very people who claim that they have been fighting for equality all of these years.

The public in general has more capacity to forgive taking a $1,000 bribe if you admit to it upfront. The longer you drag it out even though people know you are lying, the more likely you become a subject for the pundits and no one will forgive you in the long run.

This pair belong in Illinois,

Funny how there is not one person who is speaking in defence of Chuck in these comments. Kind of makes you wonder how far these folks will go to convict someone who is not guilty.
Kind of like everything that has gone on in this administration. Very sad, but those who would put another human being through this will pay in the long run. As for the rest of folks who have writtne such horrible things in these comments, I hope that none of you have children to learn such hate from you.

So I just read that someone actually reviews these comments. Then no wonder only the horrible ones went through. Very sad. I am sure that what I wrote will never make it. Which means that who ever you are veiwing these comments is in on this too. How sad.

Oh, my God he swallowed a beat the F.B.I. pill .Guess what Chuckie It's not going to work.

Pharmaceutical companies and other powerful lobbying interests (in years past including the tobacco industry) , give campaign money to our congressmen and women to ensure certain votes. What Turner and Wilkerson did seems to be par for the course.
