Former Boxer Jameel McCline, who has just launched his congressional campaign against Democrat Congressman Alcee Hastings, has just endured a big political body blow, as one of his staffers has been arrested for burglary, larceny and criminal mischief.
McCline will be challenging Hastings in a Democrat primary election.
McCline, a simpathizing ex-con released this statement:
“I, as an ex-felon who did 5 years hard time paying for a crime I committed in desperation, know all too well what it means to land on the wrong side of the criminal justice system,” McCline said in a statement released by his campaign. “Our hearts and prayers go out to Julie, and to the children caught up in this ugly, all-too-common domestic dispute mess. Now, we have to let the legal process unfold, and let Julie Reiser have her ‘day in court.’”-Jameel McCline
