Didn't he even testify at those trials. Shouldn't he be held morally responsible for letting these men go to jail when he supposedly had information that might have exonerated them. Whose paying him?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876661997317409023.post-82737489365668164412017-03-22T19:32:53.856-04:002017-03-22T19:32:53.856-04:00This one boggles my mind.

He's morally more responsible for any aubsequent harm than any of the others, and yet now he's the richest?<br /><br />Next we have the issue of whether this kid even existed. We have what appears to be a hypothetical kid, a hypothetical crime, and Spanier's hypothetical knowledge. No wonder Spanier didn't plea.

What an honor to have you on our blog.<br /><br />In the case you cite, wasn't the issue that the executive director of the social services agency that presided over the starving of that child caught putting false documents in her file? <br /><br />If I've got the EWOC statue wrong, and you could charge supervisors under the old law, why didn't you and Lynne Abraham charge Msgr. Lynn and Cardinal Bevilacqua with EWOC back in 2005? Instead of letting them off the hook by saying he law didn't apply to them.<br /><br />If you're right, why did Lynne Abraham lead a statewide campaign in 2007 to amend the EWOC law to include supervisors? And why did the state Legislature pass that amendment if the original law as you claim applied to supervisors?<br /><br />And while you're in a mood to answer questions, did you really tell Joe Walsh, when he brought up all the lies he caught Danny Gallagher telling, that Walsh was "killing your case?"<br /><br />bigtrial.nethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12188557653424544411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876661997317409023.post-34551067943424345072017-03-22T15:46:22.228-04:002017-03-22T15:46:22.228-04:00Here's that case, and that EWOC law applied wa...Here's that case, and that EWOC law applied was clearly not challenged. http://www.pacourts.us/assets/opinions/Superior/out/J-S24007-13jo.pdf?cb=2 <br />Might it have been a mistake *not* to raise that issue? <br /><br />Moreover, the facts of the case are somewhat different. Even the Juvenile Law Center thought that a supervisor must have some official connection to the child victim to be covered under the law when it was passed in 2006.

"The state's highest court als... You write:<br />"The state's highest court also had to ignore the practical 40-year history of the state's child endangerment law, where it was only applied in some 300 cases only to people who had direct contact with children, such as parents teachers and guardians."<br /><br />That is wrong.<br /><br />As I recall, you were in court, Ralph, the day prosecutors contradicted that claim when Lynn's attorneys made it. Yet you still parrot their false assertion that no supervisor (other than Lynn, and now Spanier) has ever been prosecuted under the pre-2007 endangerment statute. In the Danieal Kelly case, Lynne Abraham's office charged Michal Kamuvaka, the executive director of a social service agency that contracted with DHS to provide services to the Kelly family, under the pre-2007 EWOC statute. Kamuvaka was convicted of child endangerment even though she never met the child who died under her agency's "care." You can check the facts in the Superior Court's opinion upholding the conviction (that the EWOC law applied to Kamuvaka was not even challenged).<br /><br />You continue to insist that the Pre-2007 EWOC statute does not apply to Lynn, Spanier, Curley, or Schultz. You may wish that were true so that all of your pronouncements to the contrary would not be false, but the PA Supreme Court clearly ruled against your position in the Lynn case. <br /><br />Maybe it's time to stop making false assertions regarding the reach of the EWOC law.Marianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12670172841562050943noreply@blogger.com
