Suffolk ex-Legis. case: Un-signing a bail bond

In a recent twist in the mortgage fraud case against former Suffolk Legis. George Guldi, an ex-girlfriend had her name removed Friday from a bail bond that helped spring him from jail last year.

But Terri Scofield, who said she ran Guldi's unsuccessful 2009 campaign to return to the Legislature, said she has no hard feelings against Guldi (D-Westhampton) and is rooting for him to beat mortgage fraud and tax charges in Suffolk County Court.

“Although my commitment and my loyalty to Mr. Guldi has ended, my commitment to justice hasn’t,” Scofield said Friday after County Court Judge James F.X. Doyle struck her name from a $500,000 bail bond she had co-signed for Guldi in August 2009.

“I don’t wish Mr. Guldi any ill will at all,” she said.

Scofield, an unpaid board member of the Albany-based Hunger Action Network of New York, said she wanted her name off the bail bond because of an unspecified conflict of interest and because she said she is not a “W-2 wage earner.” She declined to elaborate.

Scofield said she has known Guldi for 18 years and added they have occasionally dated.
