Here’s something refreshing!!

Instant Karma from Detroit!!

Remember Romney’s remark? “Corporations are people, you know!” Well guess what. Corporations CAN go to jail! Here’s a one-percenter who will go behind bars today. Manuel “Matty” Moroun fucked with the wrong judge.

Lawyers race to free bridge bosses Moroun, aide from jail after courtroom shocker.

Lawyers worked furiously today to try to free jailed 84-year-old billionaire Manuel (Matty) Moroun and his top aide, Dan Stamper.

The two were imprisoned this morning by a Wayne County judge until they comply with his order to finish building ramps connecting the Ambassador Bridge to nearby expressways.

Wayne County Sheriff’s deputies led Moroun and Stamper out of the courtroom after Circuit Judge Prentis Edwards denied motions from their lawyers seeking to delay the jailing pending appeal.

In an hour-long hearing of high drama in a packed courtroom, attorneys for the pair offered multiple arguments to keep the men out of jail. They said the men had resigned their positions with the Detroit International Bridge Co. and so were no longer able to control what happened in the dispute. An attorney for Stamper flourished a paper that he said was Stamper’s resignation letter and laid it before the judge.

The lawyers also argued that jailing violated the constitutional rights of Moroun and Stamper. After Edwards rejected all their arguments and deputies led the men away, attorneys for the pair left immediately for the Michigan Court of Appeals to file appeals, hoping to win release for Moroun and Stamper before the end of the day.

Moroun had entered the courtroom smiling and greeting his associates, but appeared shocked and stunned after Edwards ordered him jailed.

A woman sitting in the courtroom broke into applause after Edwards ordered the men jailed. Outside the courtroom later, she identified herself as Deb Sumner, a resident of southwest Detroit. “Justice prevails,” she told reporters. “I’m not shocked at all.”

According to Forbes in 2008 he is the 321st richest person in the USA.

Some judges can’t be bought! Priceless!!!
