Speak Up! Memphis

Rickey Peete Sentenced to Four Years in Prison

Former City Councilman Rickey Peete was sentenced Wednesday to just over four years in prison. Peete pleaded guilty this summer to taking bribes.

Peete admitted to taking more than $14,000 to vote in favor of a real estate and billboard project in Memphis.

After serving prison time, Peete will be under supervised release. He received the maximum prison sentence for bribery, but he does not have to pay any fines.

At this time, a date has not been set for Peete to report to prison.

What is your opinion? It's your turn to Speak Up! Memphis.

It is sad. Prisoners only serve 1/3 of their sentence.  That means in 1 year and 3 months he will be out to start his schemes all over again.  How many times does this make for him? - he will never learn and neither will the voters as we continue to elect his sorry self.

Please, he will go right back into office when he is released.  Only in Memphis can the convicts and nuts run the city and get away with any and all type of criminal behavior, maybe we can re-elect more crooks.

I am so glad he did not get a long prison time. I just hate how Whites are reacting to this. They have been getting away with all kind of crimes but they just know how to keep theirs in the dark.Sooner or the later theirs will come out and guess what? They are only going to get a slap on the wrist! I am still praying for John Ford I think they did him wrong too!

That's because we are smarter, superior examples of humanity

Either that or its because we are not doing the crimes

Bartlettman said:

How is it that John Ford was done wrong?  What are you thinking? How could you think he is a shining example.
Can you read? Have you heard about his antics?

It is amazing how all these people can do things against the law and get little or no punishment.  If it were me or another citizen; they would have locked us up and threw the key away.  Just because they have money doesn't make it right for them to get away with illegal things.

robc for barlettman said:

man do you have a real job?? the only thing you do is run your mouth on these boards. are you white people this dumb? firstly, in the federal system you serve over 90% of your sentence. He really got 4yrs in prison and 3yrs suprivised release which in essence is parole which means he would be subject to arrest and sent to prison for the entire 3yr suprivsed term.

read a book redneck before you run your racist mouth. it is not sarcasm you do it is pure racism where do you really live? i bet it is a tralier park in tipton county grow up man and get a real job mr. peete was foolish for letting his greed get him caught up in you crackers money trap. 14 grand is not enough to sell out for that is chump change but you fake christian type white people really take the cake if your pedophille *** nerd self was down there in front of that judge you would sing a different tune. you better pray you never go to jail because you would be somebody in there's ball licker and fecel freak

Renee said:

When will all these people realize that yeah you think your going to get away with it, so my advise is HEY STOP THINKING and do whats right, it's not a black or white issue it's just plain ole GREED. He got what he deserved and so has all the others. He did the crime so now he gets to do the time!!!!

you seem to have a hang up with gays, and pedophiles.   Is this saying  you are unsecure in your own sexuality?

This is a shame. I believe all city leaders should be watched very closely. Mr. Peete has broke the law once before and he has done it again. Only in Memphis do 2 time crooks get re-elected. We might as well start recruiting the gang members to run for office. They already run our neighborhoods anyway. Really, How different are the thugs from the "criminals in suits" running our city

@robc   so much for intelligent discussion.....

concerned memphian from rob c said:

point taken but sometimes you got to be silly yourself to deal with some silly people barlettman is *** and he makes *** comments you cant blame me for standing up for myself
November 15, 2007 8:35 AM
 

Concerned Memphian said:

@robc   I understand silly, but silly is silly....what you are saying is nasty!  Standing up for yourself involves intelligently discussing your beliefs and allowing others to do the same.  You prove nothing good or intelligent by saying ugly things.  Okay, off my soapbox now!

Bartlettman said:

I use scarcasm here to try to emphasize the stupidity of some of the comments made here. Actually I am a very tolerant guy, but I have a warped sense of humor. If i can get a person to make an idiot out of themselves, I will.   With robc, I have found a person I can get really upset. I love it.

Kisses to robc (sorry could not resist)

concerned memphian said:

Again Robc.....quit taking the bait.  Everytime you say something ugly and gross, you make yourself look stupid.

rob c for concerned memphian said:

hey big guy I don't mean to be rude but I know exactly what he is doing and I mean no disrespect towards you and I appreciate where you are coming for. See I feel he is one of those racist people who really think all blacks and people of color are crazy so I simply give him what he wants.

See I was allways taught if somebody is foolish enough to underestimate you as a person it is much easier to control them in real life. See I do believe what I am saying about him. I am Black all whites are not bad and yes Brother Peete and Thompson was stupid to take the under the table cash especially since everybody knew the feds were on the case that was dumb white black yellow or green

have a good night!

Bartlettman said:

What brought that on???  robc are you obsessed?  I told you I was through with you.....NOT.

Do you really not understand my purpose is to be scarcastic, to make you sound like a idiot?  Others have caught on, that I mean only to try to bring to light the idiocy of some of the people's comments here.  I would be a miserable person if I thought what I wrote....

You are hot though.....Kiss
