Today in Newark, N.J. at the Federal Court House Ex- Mayor Sharp James was found guilty mail fraud and conspiracy to commit fraud.
Basically James was found guilty of steering his one time girl friend Tameka Riley into purchasing property from the city at a low price and then reselling it for a huge profit.
Reilly was also found guilty of tax Fruad and tax evasion. She also faces the charge of falsifying her welfare application to receive rental subsidy.
Sharp James was very upset and left via the rear federal building door. He faces up to twenty years in federal prison.
Jame's twenty years of service to the City of Newark has been all but washed away by the guilty verdict.
One Love, One Nation, One World.

One resident believes "his legacy will never be forgotten" WHAT LEGACY?? Newark is a mess! While he was busy carousing, children were being murdered in parks, drugs are at an all time high, prostitution is practically legal, and you can't even leave your house at night without a 50/50 shot at getting shot - no pun intended. Unfair? I think not. Taking the position of Mayor of Newark is a very serious task. If you want to spend time stealing, and carousing, that's fine. The only problem I have is this man did it on taxpayers' money and time! He stole from the very people and their City which he was supposed to protect! That's what I call unfair and a waste!
