Rudy Giuliani's Daughter Avoids Prosecution in Shoplifting Case

If it was someone elses daughter they would of paid fines probation and more than a day of comm. service. A clear case of different rules for different folks

I wonder if Rudy would have approved of this had it been someone else's child, especially if that was the child of a high profile Democrat. I wonder what he had to do to get the case dismissed. I wonder how many times he invoked 9/11?

It's a shame that she did not get a stiffer penalty. Of course, her father's name and status figured into the result. This is most likely a very confused young woman, who was damaged by her father's treatment of her mother....which, of course, is not an excuse for her actions, nor should excuse any punishment. She needed more of an admonishment and some intense therapy thrown in for good measure. Good ol dad Rudi is just one of the long line of 'family values', conservative, moral (tongue in cheek) politicians (on both sides of the aisle) who love to preach their rhetoric to those of us in the 'masses' while living their lives in total contradiction to all they espouse (in public)....think here Gingrich, Stanford, Edwards, etc....it's a very long list, unfortunately. Are there any honest/moral politicians left? Perhaps when 'Mr. Smith' left Washington, they all followed?

The law is the law, Dura Lex, sed Lex.

Well she sure learned her lesson didn't she.Her dad built a reputation on fighting crime and putting criminals behind bars.I guess that standard doesn't apply to his family. I wonder how many other store owners have had to suffer losses because of the poor parenting job he and his wife have done.

Gee, why am I not surprised at all?, politicians, actors, the rich and famous can get away with murder, no matter what they do, they have the green light to keep doing anything they want, money will wash their names, but God forbid to a regular citizen to do something then they ruin their records where they can't get a job ever in their lives because they tag them for life, or God forbid if someone steals food, they wll be ruined for life too, how unfair our laws are

Question: Is Carolines circumstance in this case normal proceedure for this court concerning adults arrested on a first offense misdemeanor shoplifting charge? Or is it just normal proceedure for THIS Judge to typically rule this way on cases of this type that come before her? Someone (hmm, perhaps an investgative reporter, hmm) should check if this is the norm or not. If it is the norm then Justice is served. If it is not the norm than Justice is Corrupt. Is this a fair enough question to persue?

yes, the USA is getting as bad as other countries, if they have money, they can get away with murder, if they are stars and famous, they can also get away for murder, but if a regular hungry individual steals food, then they put him in jail and throw away the key, how sad our government is selling this way, they have the green light to kill, drive drunk, get drugs, anything goes for them, but god fobide a regular person, then they ruin their reputation so they could never get a descent job again

Is it no Justice or is it JUST US. What kind of lessons are were sending here, as long as you rich you can shop lift and get no time, but wait a taxpayer poor family do the same thing a shop life perhap even less an get 2-3 years in jail plus probation. Yeah I think That is JUST US!! ANd really forget about shop lifting, how about Drunk drive, cocaine possession (paris hilton) oh that ok you have money and even murder. What a one side country we live in

Nice to be a shoplifter and get away with it.........wealthy and white seems to be the prerequisite though.
