A judge in Richmond has dropped four felony counts against Joe Morrissey. He will not be standing trial later this month on charges of forgery and perjury. The judge ruled that his previous plea bargain included these charges. More details here. [read_more]
Morrissey is considering a civil suit in his convicted for his relationship with a teenage girl who gave birth to a baby boy last month. Morrissey has refused to say if the baby is, or is not, his child.
“Stay tuned,” he said, adding: “These people are going to find out why Joe Morrissey is known as never ever, ever quitting.”
( I thought he was better known as Crazy Joe Morrissey.)
Now that Morrissey’s legal problems are again on the back burner, he is turning his attention back to politics and running for office. Morrissey believes the Democrats are trying to prevent him from running for state senate.
“I think the Democratic Party has once again sullied their brand by trying to deny my right to get on the ballot,” former delegate Joseph D. Morrissey said Tuesday. “I am determined that the voters will make the choice, not Democratic Party bosses.”
Earlier this week we reported on Morrissey’s failure to qualify for Senate. Morrissey believes that he should have qualified and Democrats are trying to prevent him from running. Since he won his last delegate race as an Independent and while in jail, we can expect him to run for Senate as an Independent if he doesn’t qualify to run as Democrat.
