I never said she was ‘corrupt’

Two weeks ago, I wrote an opinion column (Observations, front page, April 24) about the 20-year sentence handed down by Federal Judge Micaela Alvarez to former Precinct 1 Hidalgo County Commissioner A.C. Cuellar, and I mentioned that in my humble opinion, I thought the sentence was unjust, especially given the fact that Cuellar was 69 when sentenced. By the time he finishes his prison sentence, followed by 10 years stuck in the parole system, he’ll be about 97 when all is said and done.

Now facing charges of bribery and money laundering, he might need them to do the same.
