As Captain Ed points out, if he had a ticket for Denver, he didn't get on the wrong train. Had he possessed a BART ticket and gotten on an Amtrak train, he would have been put off the train at the first opportunity or would have been required to buy a ticket on board.Disgraced Democratic fundraiser Norman Hsu, wanted in California on a 15-year-old felony theft conviction, agreed Wednesday to return to the state without a fight.
Hsu appeared in court, his hands cuffed and his ankles shackled, as he read legal documents waiving his rights and signed four copies of the paperwork. He also answered Judge Brian Flynn's questions about giving up his right to fight extradition. ...
A Hsu spokesman said Wednesday that he had intended to appear for his court date in California but may have mistakenly boarded a train out of state. Jason Booth said Hsu was "sick and confused" and may have thought he was boarding a Bay Area Rapid Transit subway when he instead caught an Amtrak train.
"That's what appears to be how it happened," Booth said Tuesday. "He was disoriented at the time ... We believe he suffered a psychological, mental, or physical breakdown. How that was caused I don't know. I'm not a doctor."
Hsu boarded an Amtrak train in the Bay Area in California about an hour and a half after arriving there by charter plane Sept. 5 and had a ticket for Denver when he apparently fell ill in western Colorado and had to be hospitalized.
He was undoubtedly disturbed as his world of power and influence came crashing down on him, but spare me the ridiculous excuses for his "run for the Rockies".
