Scott Jensen was found guilty on all three felony counts and the misdemeanor as well.
Jurors found Rep. Scott Jensen guilty on three felony counts and a misdemeanor count, and former GOP aide Sherry Schultz guilty on one felony count. Prosecutors had filed the following charges against Jensen and Schultz.
When I read it, my only response was shock.
I was hoping for a guilty verdict on at least one of the felonies. The reporting on Thursday, Jensen Verdict convinced me that the confusion created by his 'know nothing' defense would obfuscate, 'beyond a reasonable doubt' his true complicity.
Let's hear it for the jury system and congratulations to District Attorney Blanchard, though I have some other thoughts for Blanchard about the Kutler matter.
Last week at the pinnacle of his defense, Jensen , as reported in the Capital Times:
said he was shocked to learn that a woman working out of the Republican Party of Wisconsin headquarters on his campaign was actually being paid by taxpayers through the Assembly Republican Caucus.
That claim of shock was laughable. Now he can join all of us in being shocked, for real.
