It looks like eccentric Rochester attorney John Parrinello won't be going to trial after all. Parrinello, 77, was charged with patronizing a prostitute at a sleazy Gates motel last summer.
He wasn't charged with assault with a dead weapon.
The whore in question recanted her testimony. According to Assistant District Attorney Matthew Dunham the charge will be dismissed in six months if Parrinello keeps his nose clean and his ass out of trouble for that length of time. That is usually referred to as an ACD, an adjournment in contemplation of dismissal. After the allotted six months, Parrinello's record will be wiped clean. It is like saying "Naughty, naughty. Just don't do it again."
If it is not exactly justice, it certainly is an example of getting a good deal.
Getting a good deal is what the American judicial system is all about. It's the American way.
There is no word as to how the courts will proceed against the whore.

More shits and giggles in Rochester, New York.
The antics of Hillbilly Clinton, Sarah Palin and the Donald are enough to make people laugh or puke on a national scale. Everyone chooses to overlook the asininity of our local politicians only because they haven't made the national news media. Yet.
In the last twenty four hours in Rochester, three separate incidents have revealed how badly broken our political and judicial systems are.
Today, US District Court Judge Frank Geraci suspended prostitute patronizing attorney John Parrinello from practicing law in federal court for 180 days.
It was not because of Parrinello's taste for gratuitous sex, but because of his asinine behavior in a court room last August. He was disruptive and heckled the court.
Parrinello has been pulling that sort of shit for years. What took the court system so long to chastise him? Why now? And it's such a mild rap on the knuckles, too.
Also today, Robert Wiesner pleaded guilty to committing a felony antitrust crime in connection with a major public corruption scandal. Of course there was a deal.
Wiesner paid a total of $8,000 and gets to stay out of jail for pleading guilty. He has to keep his nose clean for three years in return for the conditional discharge. He did not agree to cooperate and testify at the trials of his fellow crooks.
Wiesner got off cheap.
Which just goes to show you that there is one set of laws and sentences for the rich and another one for the rest of us.
Last but not least, Rochester's Board of Ethics ruled last night that it would not be unethical for the city to hire Bill Johnson's firm to study a disastrous program that he helped to create when he was mayor. Going back to the source of the problem to find a cure.
Last week, City Council approved the hire seven to two. The two holdouts, Conklin and McFadden, wanted the Board of Ethics to rule on it. The Board is appointed by City Council, and knows which side its bread is buttered on. It usually bases its conclusions on what the City Council and the mayor want. Conklin and McFadden know that, too.
I guess the mayor doesn't trust her Commissioners of Neighborhood and Business Development and Innovation to conduct the study. Why not? What does she trust them with?
How come Saturday Night Live doesn't come up with some skits featuring Rochester? The mayor is forever attempting to thrust herself into the national arena.

Prostitute Patronizing Parrinello seeks bench trial.
Rochester's eccentric attorney John Parrinello is seeking a bench trial regarding his arrest for patronizing a prostitute at a Gates motel last August.
That crime is a misdemeanor.
According to Rochester's liberal newsrag, the D&C, Parrinello plans to sue the Town of Gates, claiming he suffered "negligent infliction of mental distress," slander and violation of his Constitutional rights. He's also claiming false arrest and malicious prosecution.
Parrinello's attorney, David Rothenberg, wants an expedited bench trial because of his client's "health issues." The impending jury trial is also "causing stress for Parrinello's family and having an adverse impact on his law practice."
Really?
It is extremely difficult to embarrass the Parrinellos. John's decades of madcap behavior hasn't unduly troubled them before. Unless he really has gone over the edge this time, and become mad as a hatter.
A bench trial would eliminate the need to seat a jury of John's peers. It would take a very long time to dig up twelve prostitute patronizing attorneys.
Or maybe not.
There's no word about what the whore with whom John was caught thinks about it all.
That, too, is odd. The news media usually has a field day interviewing whores caught with prominent individuals.
It sells newspapers.
I have only one question to ask the lady. Was John wearing boxers or briefs around his ankles?

Looks like John Parrinello just can't stop exposing himself to the public.
John Parrinello, Rochester's eccentric attorney, is suing the Town of Gates over his arrest for patronizing a prostitute in a sleazy motel there last summer.
Parrinello claims that he did no such thing and that the arrest violated his civil rights.
Since when is picking up a hooker a civil right?
He hasn't yet gone to trial on that charge, but after a few shits and giggles about it, the public had forgotten about it. It was funny, but not really important or earth shattering.
Until now.
Any sensible public figure caught in this fashion would have protested but taken his lumps like a good little boy, paid the fine, accepted a sentence of a few hours of community service and gone on with his life.
But not John.
Parrinello is a notable media hog. Since Playgirl and Blueboy magazine weren't insane enough to feature him in a photo spread and centerfold after his bust, he found it necessary to continue to expose himself to public view in this fashion. He likes to see his name in print.
It will be interesting to see if the Town of Gates rises to Parrinello's threat and drops the charges against him.
And why aren't the media rushing out to interview the hooker Parrinello met in that motel that Sunday in August? That's something they do best.

Shits and giggles about John Parrinello.
Eccentric Rochester attorney John Parrinello got his ass busted for patronizing a prostitute on Sunday in the Town of Gates.
Parrinello turned himself in yesterday, and will be arraigned on Tuesday, August 25 in Gates Town Court.
The crime is only a misdemeanor, so outside of embarrassing the shit out of his lovely wife and children, his punishment won't be too severe.
His attorney, David Rothenberg, said “John Parrinello never solicited anybody."
Then what was he doing in a sleazy Gates motel with a hooker? Social work?
Come on, John! Be proud of the fact that at 76 you still have a healthy sexual appetite.
And that you have still got what it takes.
Money.
