Bribing Police With Dolphins-Jets Tickets Doesn't Work
“Have you been watching the Dolphins? No one’s going to go to that game,” Palm Beach County Judge Timothy P. McCarthy told Topalian.
Topalian began to say something but the judge admonished him that it probably would be better if he didn’t discuss the potential value of an alleged bribe while he still was considered innocent until proven guilty.
“Miami-Jets tickets aren’t worth a damn,” McCarthy said, and reduced Topalian’s bond accordingly, ordering him held in lieu of $6,000 bail.
Personally, I think the judge was being a bit harsh. Then again, if you’re watching the game, you can see thousands of empty orange seats. I guess not that many people care about watching the Dolphins try to end the Jets’ season.
