Paul Boyne was convicted of 16 counts of stalking family court Judges. Boyne could be facing many years in prison. Paul’s friend Cheryl stood by him throughout the trial but missed the verdict. After the verdict was read Paul took all his personal belongings and handed them to my Jewish assistant who tracked down Cheryl. Paul was hauled off to the basement of 235 Church Street in chains. He will probably be transferred to Whalley Avenue prison in New Haven or moved upstate. Sentencing is tentatively scheduled for the end of May.

Paul already spent 18 months in jail because he couldn’t make bail. Its not clear how much more jail time Judge Brown will give Boyne. Boyne said the prosecutors offered him a plea deal but he refused it. I told him taking a deal would be a good idea, but he felt strongly about defending the First Amendment. I remember legendary scrappy defense attorney Joe Mirsky, now deceased, in Bridgeport who used to tell his clients, “You got to know when to hold and you got to know when to fold.” Paul had many online supporters who often brainstormed with Paul and offered suggestions about how to defend himself, much to the chagrin of Paul’s public defender attorney Bussert who derogatorily referred to them as the “hound pound.” Court watchers said Bussert did a great job defending Mr. Boyne in a very difficult case.

The jury looked right at Boyne when they read the verdict. Usually jurors look the other way when they are about to read a guilty verdict, as they did recently in the sex trafficking verdict of the Alexander brothers. Paul had an uphill battle with the jury, his blog was highly inflammatory. Plus the laws of cyber stalking are vague, not leaving much room to wage a defense. But Paul presents as a feeble, harmless old man who walks with a cane.

During jury deliberations Paul Boyne was allowed some freedom from having to sit in court all day waiting for a verdict, so he went to St Mary’s Church down the street to pray. He met up with my young Jewish associate and they talked about life, God and the after world, and debated the Jewish conspiracy the “Jewdiciary” of course. Paul is trying to convince my Jewish assistant to be baptized.
