Frum Follies reported that the Yosef Kolko trial already selected it s jurors and will begin today. He expects an easy guilty verdict since Koloko's therapist will be mandated to testify in court.
This trial is driving the Lakewood establishment crazy.
The same Lakewood establishment supported homosexual supporter Jon_Corzine.
Update: See the Unorthodox Jew.

Jury Selection for Pedophile Yosef Kolko Begins Today!
From Frum Follies:
Jury selection is now slated to start on Wednesday, May 1, 2013.
Of course there is always the possibility of a last minute plea bargain, though I have no indications that is happening. However, why would Yosef Kolko tell me that he finally realizes that he is just about out of time to make a deal? It is hard to figure out how Kolko’s thinking is being shaped by the community. There is the consideration for Kolko himself of whether to gamble on a trial with a slight chance of acquittal but a hefty sentence if he loses the bet. Some Haredi defendants go to trial because they cannot get themselves to admit their disgusting behavior to their relatives. You would think it would be easier for Kolko, since he has an Uncle Yehuda who would understand.
The Lakewood rabbinical establishment has a lot to lose if this goes to trial. A trial will expose their involvement in a cover-up.So it is possible that some elements in Lakewood will raise mega-sums to take care of Kolko’s family while he is in jail in return for his silence. On the other hand there are some types who prefer a trial and will, if necessary, conduct a long campaign to protest his innocence publicly. It won’t help Kolko any more than a lot of public rabble rousing helped Rubashkin. But it will deter other victims of abuse from coming forward.
MARK YOUR CALENDAR: Jury selection for Yosef Kolko trial is scheduled to start on Wednesday, May 1, 9:00 am. See the previous posting for location and other details.
Also on Frum Follies:
Once jury selection starts it will be too late for Kolko to take a plea bargain.

Frum Follies
I found a new blog worth reading. Frum Follies. He posted about unorthodox Yosef Kolko who molested 11 and 12 year old boys in Lakewood, NJ.
He also wrote about Meir Daskalowitz's sentencing will take place on May 1, 2013.
