SENTENCING FOR ATKINSON MOVED UP TWO WEEKS...


Brownsville Herald

The sentencing date for former BISD Board of Trustees Vice President Sylvia P. Atkinson has been delayed for a fifth time.

Federal court documents state that Atkinson is now scheduled to be sentenced on May 26.

U.S. District Judge Fernando Rodriguez Jr. signed a notice Tuesday resetting Atkinson’s sentencing.

Atkinson’s sentencing had been for May 18. Her original sentencing date had been set for Feb. 9 and was reset to April 20. It was then reset for May 4.
In November, a federal jury found Atkinson guilty on eight counts of bribery.

The eight counts of bribery are in connection with a movie project that was in the exploratory stages in February 2019 when she was vice president of the Brownsville Independent School District Board of Trustees. The case began that December when a federal grand jury indicted her on bribery charges surrounding the purported movie project and a Feb. 12, 2019 board meeting.

Atkinson faces up to 45 years in prison and a fine that could total $2 million, in addition to any funds subject to forfeiture. Through her attorneys Atkinson said that she respectfully disagrees with the jury’s verdict and plans to appeal. She remains free on a $50,000 bond.

Why has Adela been so quiet?

Dateline: June 1, 2041

Today, Judge Fernando Rodriguez, III, son of Judge Fernando Rodriguez, Jr., who followed in his father's footsteps, sentenced Dr. Sylvia Atkinson to 12 months interment at the South Padre Island Progressive Rehabilitation Institute for First Time Offenders. Atkinson, now in her late 70's had been free pending sentencing. The over 20 year delay in her sentencing was due to her cooperation in providing testimony against top elected and administrative officials in Cameron County. Her attorneys also cited clerical errors, judicial and prosecutorial oversight and just plain fear of general retributions by Atkinson who has a long reputation of getting even with those that cross her. "It's been a bitter hell for me these last 20 years," Atkinson bemoaned. "I have been unable to go the Vegas and the casinos in Louisiana and have been reduced to having to play high stakes poker on weekends with chumps in Rio Hondo and San Benito.." The facility where Atkinson is to serve her time includes tennis courts, indoor and out door massage therapy (which by the way is provided by an all female staff), once a week access to the golf course at Laguna Vista and Friday night bingo. "Our goal is to rehabilitate and not to punish the individual," stated the Director of the Institute. "We wish to get our visitors back to being productive in society as soon as possible", quoted the Director. "We hope to make Dr. Atkinson's stay at our all female facility as pleasurable as possible." Atkinson and her attorneys will be appealing the sentence.

Still delaying it? Sylvia Atkinson has all the tricks. Some say Sylvia will be back in BISD in the Fall. Just like Dora Sauceda, she left BISD to Dallas ISD. Sylvia hired Dora back in BISD. Dora is now begging to hire Sylvia as a consultant with Tango. BISD pays over 600k to Tango. The Tango Vendor will get another chunk for Summer School and Dora Sauceda getting some free lunches and Sylvia a job.

What Atkinson is doing is just playing games. She has been doing for all her life. She is a big crook but she feels she has done nothing wrong since every e is a crook. Hopefully she brings people with her to jail like M Pena the biggest crook there is. If you hang with Sylvia you are a crook along with her entire family and friends.
