Judge in Flory Case: "What Is Wrong With the Republican Party in Michigan"

After former Michigan Young Republican Michael Flory President was sentenced to five years prison yesterday, one of the parties involved in both the case and the Michigan Republican Party has stepped forward to speak. 

Scott Czasak, law studet at Thomas Cooley in Michigan and party involved in the Michael Flory rape case, speaks. His recollection of the events are disturbing to say the least:

Here is my understanding of the truth, which has been embargoed by myself until now because of the ongoing legal proceeding. July 8th was the awards dinner at the hotel; afterwards we went to the Warehouse District of Cleveland for a party by the Georgia delegation. The provided a few free drinks, but because she knew someone she got more, she got drunk, he drank, she got sick on herself, someone else, and was so out of it she dropped her phone into the toiler while puking. A friend tried to find someone to take her back to the hotel, and found the admitted sex offender and put them in a cab together. I have no doubt that he wasn’t out looking for it from her, but once he saw his opportunity he took advantage of it. He advanced on her in the cab, all the while she had just been sick on herself, and followed her up to the room and after she tried to be polite and say goodnight, he forced his way into the room and forced himself upon her. He orally, vaginally, and anally raped her. He did this to a menstruating woman, who in the middle of his rape had to be sick again, and while she was puking again, he followed her into the bathroom and raped her while she was puking. All the while he was holding her throat, pulling her hair, calling her a whore and a slut and saying he knew she wanted it and she loved it. When her roommate came back, he held her by the throat and made her tell the roommate to go away, which she did, out of fear, a fear I don’t know and I doubt almost anyone reading this will know until they stare death in the face. When he finished with her, he went to a party in the hotel, and when someone came to the door with a glass of water, which the admitted sex offender mistook for straight vodka, he said that he liked vodka because “It’s knocks the ladies out” and “I just left a girl wet who tasted like vodka, she didn’t know what hit her.”

And the judge thoroughly laid into the Michigan Republican Party, as a whole, for it's lack of integrity in the entire manner...

"What is Wrong With the Republican Party in Michigan"
That statement was made yesterday by a Cleveland judge as he sentenced admitted sex offender Michael Flory to the maximum of 5 years in prison, with 5 years of supervised parole afterwards, with the ability of 2 and a half more years in prison if he screws up, under the new Adam Walsh law lifetime membership as a registered sex offender, and almost 3 thousand dollars in restitution to his victim... 

Now onto the headline I led with, what the judge meant when he said that is that he was shocked that the Republican Party in Michigan would believe the rapist over his victim, and would actively work to make sure his victim was marginalized. However it’s not like Saul Anuzis got on his daily e-mail and said everyone believe him over her, it was more subtle, and it was led by sycophants and others who were devoted to the admitted sex offender. It was led by people who have proven themselves to be bad people, people who would do things like release a rape victims name on his blog, and other completely disgusting acts. However these actions are just the symptoms of a larger problem, the problem of the fractioning and infighting and vitriol and sniping within the Party. Now I am all for a rigorous debate on the issues and where we want to go as a party leading into the next election, but the manner on which the party attacks its own disgusts me. I have always prided myself on my ability to be friends and foster relationships with people on all sides of this divide, but the point is coming where one of these friends is going to do something that is going to need response, and going to need repudiation, and it is my intention to speak the truth to all, friend and foe alike, because it is my personal belief that the truth is a lot more fun than anything I can make up.

... Flory deserves more than just five years. And the Michigan Republican party needs to go on a purge of its own.
