Connolly Sentenced Tuesday
Reporter Mark Spivey capped his award-winning series on former Plainfield landlord David Connolly with a moving report on his sentencing Tuesday for defrauding investors.
Bernice: I am a very big fan of Mark's and certainly grateful for his articles on the Connolly empire. And I am glad he had time to cover the mayoralty primary race in Plainfield. As someone who worked for The Courier, I cannot imagine Mark's work load. However, The Ledger must have had a reporter in the courtroom for the Connolly sentencing, so The Ledger's article has more feeling.
Pat: I was in the courtroom and either heard or spoke with everyone there personally. I thought that was made clear in my article, but perhaps I could have done a better job. -Mark
