Even during sentencing, this guy is an a*hole

http://www.courant.com/news/local/st...nes-local-wire Drunken pilot gets one year, is eligible for release Associated Press March 9 2006 WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. -- The unlicensed pilot who got drunk, stole an airplane, flew it from Connecticut to New York and landed it at a closed airport was sentenced Wednesday to a year in prison. Because he has already served nine months, 21-year-old Philippe Patricio of Bethel, Conn., is eligible for immediate release, but he still faces airport security charges in Danbury, Conn. Patricio's joyride with two friends last year won wide attention because it seemed to demonstrate lax security at small airports despite the 2001 terrorist attacks. He pleaded guilty in January to reckless endangerment, drunken flying and resisting arrest. He admitted taking a single-engine Cessna from Danbury Municipal Airport in the early hours of June 22, drunkenly flying it for three hours and resisting arrest when he landed at the closed Westchester County Airport. Westchester County Executive Andrew Spano said at the time that when the cockpit doors were opened "a significant number of beer cans" fell to the tarmac. Patricio, though unlicensed, said before an earlier court appearance that he had enough training to fly the plane and never meant any harm. Westchester County Judge Rory Bellantoni said during Wednesday's sentencing hearing that the first thing people thought of when they heard about the incident was terrorism. After the remark, Patricio turned his back on the judge, who became angry, The News-Times of Danbury reported. "You seem to have a problem with stupidity," Bellantoni said. The judge added, "You seem to have a bad attitude. You're angry at society for punishing you for a crime you admit you committed." Copyright 2006 Associated Press |

"You seem to have a problem with stupidity," Bellantoni said. The judge added, "You seem to have a bad attitude. You're angry at society
for punishing you for a crime you admit you committed." "A Daniel come to judgement!" (Shakespeare, Merchant of Venice) Gotta love a straight-talking judge. I hope he runs for office some day Can you imagine showing that kind of attitude in court? Jeeeeezzz.... |

We'll be hearing about him again. -- Mortimer Schnerd, RN VE |
