More Judicial BS

We shouldn't be amazed. After all, it's New York City, hotbed of liberalism and leftist thinking. But we thought there were a few lines that even judges wouldn't cross. Not anymore:

• The mother of slain NYPD Officer Russel Timoshenko was appalled to find out that a woman suspected of hiding the weapon used to kill her son is poised to leave jail today.

  A Brooklyn judge yesterday drastically reduced the bail for Nicole Bostick, 36, whose brother and boyfriend are two of the three suspects accused of murdering Timoshenko and wounding his partner, Herman Yan. Supreme Court Justice Plummer Lott agreed to cut bail from $50,000 to $10,000 bond or $5,000 cash.

  "It's laughable. I'm speechless," Tatyana Timoshenko said during a visit to her son's grave. "How can the judge do that?"

  Bostick is charged with hindering prosecution for allegedly dumping three guns in a garage after hearing that her brother Dexter Bostick and boyfriend Lee Woods were involved in the July 9 shooting.

Accessory after the fact? Involved in the capital murder of a police officer? Does any of this ring a bell with the judge? Hell, in Texas or Oklahoma, this woman would be facing the death penalty for hiding evidence (and rightfully so).

But again, what's a dead cop or two? NYPD Rant covers the outrage.
