WisPolitics: Kelly Rindfleisch sentencing presentation
- 1. Kelly Rindfleisch Sentencing Hearing November 19, 2012
- 2. Mitigating Considerations n No criminal record n Truthful with investigators in multiple interview sessions (5) in December and January 2010 n Her cooperation was a thing of value to prosecutors, whether or not it produced useful information in the eyes of those prosecutors n Pledged to honestly cooperate in the prosecution of Tim Russell, in which she has given helpful and detailed information
- 3. KR does politics n Kelly s first preference was not a job in politics. Defense Memo page 2. n The truth is likely that Kelly would have taken any good paying job in late 2009. n Indeed, she likely she would have taken a job at any time that paid better than the County. n Ms. Rindfleisch s job with the Davis campaign is evidence of her need for additional cash.
- 4. KR does politics n The fact remains, however, that Kelly has been employed in the world of politics since 1995 when she was about 26 years old. n Politics is what Kelly knows and does. n Based on my review of the e-mails between the campaign and Ms. Rindfleisch, people like Keith Gilkes (FOSW campaign manager) think she does a darn good job of it.
- 5. KR does politics n The point? It is unlikely that she was forced into this criminal conduct by some third parties. n She found employment based on her skill set. n This was a world with which Ms. R was familiar. n This was a world about which Ms. R knew the rules.
