MARCHAN GOES AWAY FOR 42 MONTHS, LIMAS AWAITS

Various Sources
Ray Marchan, the sometimes swashbuckling attorney from Port Isabel who made a fortune off maritime cases and later saw his legal career go up in flames after he was convicted of bribing disgraced 404th District Court Jduge Abel Limas in exchange for legal favors has been sentenced to 3½ years in prison.
He was sentenced Thursday in Brownsville in Judge Andrew Hanen's federal court.
 He was the first of a dozen suspects swept up in a four-year investigation of Limas to go to trial. Limas himself pleaded guilty and awaits sentencing.
Marchan in June was convicted on seven counts, including racketeering. But the federal judge this week overturned one mail fraud conviction.
Prosecutors accused Marchan of paying Judge Limas more than $11,000 in 2008 in exchange for favorable decisions. Marchan's defense argued he was just loaning money to a friend.

While he is in the slammer, his buddy is out playing at the illegal maquinitas in Olmito and Alton Gloor. Is that his punishment?

Marchan is going to end up being a "bitch" to someone larger than him? Don't drop the soap Marchan!

Oye Montoya, what have you heard on the possible suicide attempt by Mrs. Abel Limas? There is a report and for reasons unknown being kept under wraps? I don't mean ill will to her but why wasn't that reported? Why is BPD hiding the report? It is public record!

Didn't It come out in the paper that Eddie Trevino paid Limas a bribe too? Wasn't there a political function with Trevino, Boddin and Marin supporting a candidate? One of the blogs mentioned who it was that would be running for district judge. Folks stay away fom whoever that candidate is. Why hasn't Trevino been charged YET?
