I hope that Fina gets raked over the coals for his blatant prosecutorial misconduct, but he probably won't. His win at all costs behavior should not be tolerated. He had dirt on both Cynthia Baldwin and Mike McQueary to use as leverage to convince them to become prosecution witnesses. There is no question is my mind that he knew both that MM did not witness an anal rape and that his questioning of Baldwin concerning what she learned during her representation of Curley, Schultz, and Spanier was highly improper.

He sat in the meeting with Baldwin where she stated she represented PSU and not CSS, then immediately walked into the grand jury room and asked them if they had representation. When they all said Baldwin, who wasn't even supposed to be allowed in after what she said, both her and Fina said nothing.

Regarding MM, even he has said he didn't witness "anal rape". That didn't stop the OAG from pushing that narrative however.

These dog-and-pony shows are an insult to anyone with an IQ over 80.

SEVEN YEARS “after the fact”:

“... If Fina is found to have violated the ethical code in the hearing before three lawyers Thursday in Philadelphia, he could face penalties that include a reprimand or the loss of his law license..... “

“ ... Fina has lined up former state Supreme Court Justice Ronald D. Castille as an expert on his behalf....”
LMAO
“... Lawrence Fox, a Philadelphia lawyer and legal-ethics authority, is to testify as an expert for the counsel’s office....”
Laugh? Or Cry?

The Mission - the point, if you will - of these “hearings” is what? Exactly?

Idiocracy Rules!
The mission is to give the public the perception of rule of law applying to all. The actual mission is to give Fina a tiny slap on the wrist publicly and tell him great job when they are out of view of the public.

When they all said Baldwin, who wasn't even supposed to be allowed in after what she said, both her and Fina said nothing.

Of course, this technicality led to many of the worst charges on CSS being dropped.
 
Fina and Baldwin, for their unethical actions, and along with disbarment, should be given at least the same sentences that innocent Curley and Schultz got as a result of their actions.
(The same idea as someone who knowingly files a false charge should receive the same punishment as the charge would carry.)
 
This is a good start, but I think Fina’s greatest sin in the whole situation was not arresting Andrew Shubin for his obvious witness tampering/false statements and perpetrating the myth that so-called “victim 2” is “known only to God”

What fresh hell is this?

"She said the men never revealed to her that they had agreed not to go the police about a Sandusky attack on a youth in 2002, a cover-up later documented in damaging emails."

There was no "attack". There was no "cover up". There were no "damaging emails". There was always an agreement to speak to Second Mile about their charity chairman and a Second Mile youth, which Tim Curley did.

McCoy KNOWS this. I spoke directly with him on this issue. His "investigative" skills rival that of Sara Ganim's. McCoy is just making shit up. This serves no one.
 
These are not questions about his tactics. They are, instead, questions about his ETHICS. PA is so f#cking corrupt that its news media cannot even write the WORD "ethics."
"Ethics" are in such a state of transition these days, it's difficult to define what one means when they use the term. What are "ethics"?

"Morals", and the definition thereof, might even be more transitory these days. :confused:

In that setting, there is a pretty well defined, written list. It is not open to a hell of a lot of doubt, especially when you hear her say she is representing PSU and not the individuals.

Boo hoo hoo. Another pity party for Jerry the perv.
 
Amazing that after all this time, some stupid people can't see that JS can be very guilty, and the PA judicial system can be extremely corrupt, all at the same time.

Don't complain when one of your family members gets unfairly ****ed someday.
I think many can, but don't feel like playing the sympathy card for JS.

If a person believes Curley and Schultz were guilty of everything, including perjury, then that person ought to be more outraged than anyone at how Fina and Baldwin and Feudale violated their rights.

Does not seem that is the case.

Feudale clearly knew C&S believed Baldwin to be their lawyer.

Also, surprise, Feudale was appointed by Castille, who will be Fina's expert for his ethics hearing. This has the “appearance of a conflict.”

As I said earlier in this thread, Find, Baldwin, and Freudale should be charged with conspiracy. They sure are guilty of it.

Exactly...and with no way to know who the kid was, the second mile was the appropriate place to go in that TSM should have been accountable for who and when Jerry (or any other rep) was with a kid. It is only logical to go back to TSM and say "are you aware of this? who is the kid? can we speak to him? are their other complaints besides the one in 2001 that was fully investigated? As the group probably responsible for the kid, what course of action do you need to take? How can we assist in that course of action?"

Oh FFS.

Does Kittredge know this about Castille? The robes gotta protect the robes I guess.

I understand the full PornGate crew is on the witness list too. Why is it the same goddammed names swirling around in the background in all of this?

I am assuming that Kittredge has this information as well?

The use of "HER" by Judge Feudale clearly infers to Curley & Schultz that the judge is aware of AND acknowledges that Cynthia Baldwin is there as THEIR LAWYER.

Miss Daisy never spoke up and told Feudale to hold the phone.

I’m not sure Kittredge has all of it. But I understand she’ll be calling Lawrence Fox as an expert witness. He is more than familiar with the case...

Here's another filing recently unsealed: http://www.dauphincounty.org/Courts... Incorporate Prior Motions (Exhibits 9-3).pdf

See p. 12-13. "The OAG's misconduct was three-fold."
1. Violated GJ secrecy
2. Divested court of opportunity to evaluate Baldwin's conflict
3. OAG deliberately invaded defense camp & intruded on attorney-client relationship

Exhibit C of that filing at p.60, was prepared by Lawrence Fox. (He will be the expert called for the Disciplinary Board in Fina's ethics hearing.)

It's some interesting reading. Fox is clearly a national expert on legal ethics. His criticisms of the OAG and Baldwin are extensive.

We've known about this for a long time. People who respect the rule of law have been befuddled. Every day I think about this mess and I ask myself why would I respect the justice system (or the media) ever again after something like this is allowed to occur?

It's not acceptable. It's unconstitutional, it's un-American, and it's WRONG.

I would like to see justice, whatever that even means anymore.
