Former drug prosecutor arrested for trafficking meth and MDMA

Atlanta attorney Rand Csehy made his mark prosecuting drug dealers; somewhere along the way, police say, he joined the enemy.

Before he was arrested on drug charges Thursday, Csehy specialized in high-profile cases. Working for the county, he helped put members of the drug cartel Black Mafia Family behind bars. On the defense side he represented an Atlanta cop charged in the drug raid death of 92-year-old Atlanta resident Kathryn Johnston.

And he made a cameo in the case against convicted courthouse shooter Brian Nichols as the boyfriend and future husband of prosecutor Gayle Abramson. With Nichols on the loose following the 2005 shooting rampage that left four dead, Csehy rushed back to Atlanta from California to comfort Abramson, who had been prosecuting Nichols on rape charges and was widely believed to a target.

But last year Csehy’s life took a sharp turn for the worse as a series of unsettling incidents unfolded. First he and Abramson, who had been separated for more than a year, were divorced.

Then in August, outside his law offices, Csehy was beaten and stomped by one of his clients, suffering broken ribs and fractured facial bones. In December he called police at 4 a.m. from a Buckhead apartment to report the suicide of a woman he had been dating. According to the incident report, the weapon she used was a former Atlanta Police service pistol belonging to Csehy.

On Thursday Csehy, caught in a sting operation, was arrested and charged with drug and firearms violations, including possession with intent to distribute Ecstasy and methamphetamine.

I'd feel bad for the guy but eh, he spent his entire life sending people to prison for the same things he's doing.

My thoughts exactly.

In the article they explain he was having a hard time in his life and I honestly have sympathy for some of his plights. The problem is that peoples personal issues for using/selling these substances were never taken into account when he was prosecuting people, so why should they be relevant at all now?

This reeks of the worst kind of hyprocrisy. The ultimate case of "Do as I say, not as I do." We have entirely to much of that in the world nowadays. Our past three presidents have all admitted to doing illegal drugs before they were elected; if they had been caught and charged their lives would have been drastically different. You would think that these people would have some kind of moral obligation to reform the laws that they themselves were guilty of breaking, but apparently it is only bad if the poor and minorities are doing it.

Sadly, the job of politicians is only to maintain the status quo and no one is interested in dealing with the real issues effecting every day Americans, the kind of people who can't afford to pay people to lobby for them.
 
I have no sympathy for this guy. Even bin laden didn't respect the american who turned on his own country considering it a betrayal. I know people against drugs in law enforcement and they honestly believe they're doing righteous work. I have far more respect for them than hypocrites. I'm lucky enough to have found a legal solution for my chronic anxiety but there's a lot of people out there that could benefit from true pursuit of happiness.

QFT
Nice post, villian.
 
Human behavior, thinking, and personality is very difficult to understand because it can change at any time. Sometimes the change is so drastic that the person is unable to control it. Sometimes it's just hard being human; I wish him the best and hopefully he finds a way to improve his life. We need to support each other during tough times. Life is strange.

Just because wrongs have been committed in the past does not justify their continued doing.
 
Hypocrite.

That's going to be quite an interesting prison stay for him. Talk about enemies.

So you propose giving him special treatment and not prosecuting him under the same laws everyone else is held liable to?

Yes, I do propose not prosecuting him under the same laws others have been prosecuted under. But not just him -- I would propose the same for anyone. There need to be better laws. Giving him the same unfair treatment others have received won't fix anything.
