Bernard Kerik Indicted for Corruption: Giuliani Suddenly "Distances" Himself

Bernard "Bernie" Kerik, New York City's former chief of police, has been indicted on 14 charges surrounding corruption while in his post. Most of the corruption charges are simple, namely accepting various amounts from groups, including mobsters, and failing to report taxable income.

Among some of the more heinous charges are accepting an apartment that virtually overlooked Ground Zero after September 11th, where he frequently met up with his mistress at the time.

He was briefly nominated for Director of Homeland Security, when most of the charges against him were initially brought up.

From the BBC Article:
If convicted, he could face up to 142 years in prison and $4.75m in penalties, the Associated Press news agency reported.
I say that he should get every last day and penny of that sentence, and then entered into New York's least cop-friendly maximum security prison.
