Based on the way you write, you seem like a man who would pursue a story that members of the public find odd. <br /><br />This isn't my area of expertise, but followed this story, the concerns of this man's ex-wife, and what appears to be the concerns of his colleagues, who cannot sign their name publicly, like myself. I find the circumstances surrounding Lt. Testa's death odd, immoral and not happy with the way the reporters portrayed him. <br /><br />I was wondering if there is one reporter in this city, willing to take down The Machine, which makes polices, then throws The Police under the bus. Some of my statements about Seth Williams, were actually removed. They were not threatening, but put him in his place, using my degree, brain and anger. Whatever happened to Freedom Of Speech ?<br /><br />Here is the link -<br />http://www.phillymag.com/news/2016/04/08/vince-testa-suicide-police/ Jane Zachernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876661997317409023.post-38422482131766403152016-04-11T22:53:39.837-04:002016-04-11T22:53:39.837-04:00BAHHHAA !

The FBI, IRS and media all work for the same organization, a defendant has no chance of being found innocent.<br />Should team prosecution have to make a disclosure to the court saying that they personally benefit in some way if they get a conviction ? Other professions have to make a full disclosure if they in any way benefit from a sale or transaction where they benefit or reap rewards. <br />Being reelected, getting a promotion are all benefits prosecutors reap from a conviction. <br />Would love to see a prosecutors stand before a jury and say," my career will benefit greatly if I am able to convict this defendant."

As I read The Marshall Project everyday, I just wanted to bring that article to your attention for the sake of good journalism. Reading The Marshall Project website has opened my eyes to many injustices that take place on all levels. <br /><br />Some of the best articles I have read are:<br /><br />Why do prosecutors go after innocent people ? Washington Post article by John Pfaff dated Jan 21,2015<br /><br />When District Attorneys Attack. The National Review by Kevin D. Williams May 31,2015<br /><br />The presumption of innocence exists in theory, not in reality. The Washington Post by Keith Findley Jan 19,2015<br /><br />Time to Tame Prosecutors Gone Wild by Sidney Powell Feb. 23,2015<br />The only objection I have is when they very occasionally print an article by the Inquirer=Feds,thats when they get it wrong.

Here is a small portion of the article .<br /><br />"Nevertheless, in the state capital, calls for full disclosure and accountability suddenly have new momentum. State Representative Mike Vereb, a Republican and a former police officer from the Philadelphia area, wrote a letter recently to the United States attorney for the Western District of Pennsylvania calling for an investigation under the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations act, known as RICO.<br /><br />“This failure was colossal. It was nothing less than organized crime,” Mr. Vereb said in an interview in his office, where he keeps his old nightstick on his desk. “There was no chance, if you were a victim, that you were going to get justice.”<br /><br />A flurry of negotiations has begun over bills that had been stalled for years to extend the statute of limitations for both civil and criminal cases of child sexual abuse. Abuse victims and their advocates have long argued that just as there is no statute of limitations on murder, there should be none on the sexual abuse of children.<br /><br />The legislator leading the charge to extend the statute of limitations is State Rep resentative Mark Rozzi, a Democrat from Berks County. Still boyish at 44, he is haunted by memories of being raped by a priest in middle school — a priest he later learned went on to sexually abuse some of his friends. He said he decided to run for office in 2013 after the second of those friends committed suicide. On Good Friday a year ago, a third friend also took his own life.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876661997317409023.post-62652074557943288922016-04-05T13:15:57.149-04:002016-04-05T13:15:57.149-04:00Are you still mad u didn't ride in the parade ...Are you still mad u didn't ride in the parade in the Bentley?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876661997317409023.post-23798255153676103812016-04-05T11:16:40.058-04:002016-04-05T11:16:40.058-04:00What else is new, this is how prosecutors operate,...What else is new, this is how prosecutors operate, not interviewing witness that could help a defendant, tape recordings and 302s of exculpatory evidence suddenly go missing or are destroyed. This is how they do business, win at all costs. <br /><br />Thanks for bringing to light that prosecutors play by a different set of rules than the rest of us,rules which we are supposed to abide by under penalty of law. <br /><br />What I have been trying to work out is how they get all the DAs and federal prosecutors to overlook facts in a case, to manipulate findings, knowing what they are doing is eroding justice. What are the qualifications to be a prosecutor ? Must one swear some allegiance to win at all costs, it certainly is not to uphold justice. <br />The veil of honesty and integrity is slipping from justice departments across the country,with each new exoneration more is exposed of how deep the actual conspiracy really runs. <br />The public has been awakened to the injustices that have taken place within the justice department, too bad the justice department does not feel compelled to do follow the law. <br />It really is an us against them type of situation in this country, prosecutors believe they could never be wrong,or think they did anything wrong, or ever admit to purposely incriminating a defendant.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876661997317409023.post-56703442434495276702016-04-05T10:12:26.095-04:002016-04-05T10:12:26.095-04:00you are spot on, Ralph.
