Valor thief Robert Guidi avoids sentencing again
We busted Robert Guidi in December, 2015 where he had everyone in his hometown thinking he had been a special forces soldier and a POW in Vietnam. He had convinced a local sporting shop to make him a special bow and a decking company to build him a $30,000 deck based his tales of derring-do. It turns out that he’s been swindling people for years. So this past March, he pleaded guilty to a couple counts of fraud and a count of New Jersey’s new stolen valor law.
Well, now, he has told the judge that he has a drug problem, so he should go to drug court. He takes drugs because, as a mail clerk in Vietnam, he caught the Agent Orange, so he became addicted to pain killers. According to the Daily Record, he’s been arrested 45 times since he returned from Vietnam and not once for substance abuse.
Guidi did not attend Friday’s hearing and currently is living in a home for homeless veterans, though he has a residence in Mine Hill.
On Friday, Superior Court Judge Paul Armstrong told Ware he wants a fresh evaluation by the Drug Court team of Guidi’s suitability, as well as documentation of his substance abuse history and medical prognosis and diagnosis.
Armstrong said he was not prejudging the case but opined that it was strange that Guidi has been arrested 45 times in his life but never for a drug crime. Ware said that Guidi legitimately served in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War but the judge and Morris County Assistant Prosecutor Michael Rappa noted that his service was as a mail clerk.
[…]
The judge set a new hearing date of July 24 at which he plans to review fresh, updated documentation about Guidi’s medical and substance abuse history and whether the Drug Court team still believes he is eligible for admission. At that hearing, Armstrong said, he won’t sentence Guidi but will decide how to move forward.
Guidi and his lawyer are just kicking the can down the road. If the judge figures out that Guidi is lying about his drug problem, it won’t go well for him during sentencing.

The DA is asking for three years… if he’s pissing off the judge by delaying sentencing, the judge is going to give him the “full meal deal”. Never piss off DA JUDGE…
Arrested 45 times since his return from Viet of the Nam? WTF? Sounds like he likes being locked up and dining at the BTJT Deli (Home of the WORLD FAMOUS Cockmeat Sammich and Ghey Whey Shake).
Maggot.
Give him 20 years hard labor.
“as a mail clerk in Vietnam, he caught the Agent Orange,”
Not on Camp Eagle with the 101st during his tour. Somehow I just don’t remember Eagle being oversprayed every day as I was there (in the Camp Eagle area) at the same time as him. I think I would have seen the spray planes making repeated runs on the compound discharging their loads.
Or maybe he caught the Agent Orange while on the tour to Germany before he went to Viet of the Nam and it just didn’t show up until he got to the tropics. Sorta of an undercover late sneaky bastard strain of AO.
But spending five years on active duty and being discharged as a PFC E-3 kinda tells you what his character was all about.
He was sniffing the packages of Agent Orange that got mailed there then?
That Agent Orange was everywhere. According to one report, an Army nurse recently died from her exposure to it in the Viet of the Nam. I know the Army Nurse that went to the bush with us was likely exposed to it when we were in an area that had been sprayed with it. (See, I can make shit up too.:)
For clarity, I should add that SHE was an extremely hawt Army nurse.
Whew. I’m glad you said she was extremely hawt, cause there for a minute I thought you might be talking about that Martha Raye look-alike, LTC Margaret DeSanti, Phony Army Nurse./smile
You remember her, right? She claimed to be an Army flight nurse with the First Cav who rappelled from DUSTOFFs into hot LZs to treat the wounded on the spot.
TAH exposed her old sorry ass back in December 2014.
a Nurse rappelling into a hot LZ makes perfect sense, because combat medics certainly aren’t actually trained for that environment unlike every nurse ever.
*obvious sarcasm alert
I don’t know about the early years of the war, but no Dustoff I ever heard about had anyone rappelling out of the bird; that was what the jungle penetrator was for. Thus, there was no reason for anyone on the flight crew to rappel, period. Moreover, the only troops that did receive helicopter rappelling training were the LRRP/Ranger, Marine Recon, and SF types. I would have to see film or witness it personally to believe any Army nurse ever rappelled out of a hovering helicopter. And I have some serious experience with Army nurses, as I’m married to one.
He had one month active service? how in hell did he get to Vietnam? and get two VN medals?
The only thing this turd caught was an STD in his ass.
This judge is dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s to ensure when he puts his sorry ass in jail he won’t be reversed on appeal.
One could only hope.
He’s pulling a Bernath and that’s sure to piss the Judge off!
What they need is a judge who is also a Vietnam veteran. Preferably a well decorated former grunt.
I think “our hero” would already be breaking rocks in Leavenworth.
Yeah, I know Leavenworth is a federal prison, but I think a well decorated former grunt would find a way to put him there.
Call it “Cross-decking.” Hey, it works in the Navy.
*grin*
Since I fit your criteria (but not sure about the “well decorated” part), I would be happy to take on the task. I would give him at least an extra year for the way he wears that green beret. He definitely needs some time in the pound-him-in the-ass lock-up.
Too bad we can’t bring back the stocks, as internet ridicule doesn’t seem to have the desired effect on this aging poser douche.
