And in New York, former police commissioner Bernard Kerik has been jailed ahead of three criminal trials on corruption, conspiracy and tax fraud charges. On Tuesday, Judge Stephen Robinson revoked Kerik’s bail and ordered him detained for allegedly releasing sealed information in an attempt to win public sympathy. A Kerik associate had sent the sealed material to the Washington Times in the hopes that news coverage would cast doubt on the prosecution’s case. In jailing Kerik, Judge Robinson described him as a “toxic combination of self-minded focus and arrogance.”
