Child pornography is no longer "alleged" after a conviction. --John Henry 20:16, 16 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Vacco did not obtain any convictions for child pornography during his campaign. A plea bargain to fourth degree facilitation is rather different.

• The deletion of the relevant $500,000 fine demonstrates the real intention here. --Gorgonzilla 22:34, 16 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

In June 2017, it was reported that he has been retained by Caputo. A section for this high profile assignment seems worthy.--Wikipietime (talk) 13:16, 17 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It's covered in this New York Daily News article: https://www.nydailynews.com/1998/10/29/vacco-comment-fuels-hispanics-ire/

Here's the first paragraph of the article:

Hispanic leaders slammed Attorney General Dennis Vacco yesterday following a report he used the words “bodega” and “bandido” while talking about crime and the death penalty. Answering a question from the Jewish Week newspaper about the death penalty as a deterrent to crime, Vacco is quoted as saying: “We don’t do surveys of criminals. You don’t stand outside a bodega and ask the bandido if he would have killed somebody if there was no death penalty.”

I may eventually get around to adding the info, but someone who is more familiar with adding sources and citations on Wikipedia could be better placed to do it. But it's important. Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:08, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
