Re: Rice suspended (576 Views)

This is what people with “power” do- they destroy peoples lives so they can claim they are doing something, instead of doing their actual jobs. This is a travesty of justice, and it’s nonsense to say that there are facts we don’t know and that is why the penalty is so stiff. That’s what they want you to think, and believe me, if they had other evidence it would be all over the news. Because they are rightly under pressure for not doing their job, they are trying to make an example out of Linda. Let’s hope the Board did not follow their own rule book, which may be the case since her actions were not strictly prohibited in the rules as I understand them. If they don’t follow their own rules/process, there is a chance a judge will stop this on appeal. I know a retired NYS Supreme Court justice who handled several appeals by trainers, and that is how I know this strategy is her best hope. Fingers crossed. Don’t let them destroy Linda because they think they can get away with it!
