RADAR ALERT: Massachusetts Voters Reject Nifong-Style Prosecutor

RADAR has issued a press release regarding the recent special election in Massachusetts. Excerpt:

Even before Democratic Senate Candidate Martha Coakley was defeated by the Republican candidate, Scott Brown, political commentators were offering explanations for her loss of popularity, ranging from a bungled campaign to the idea that the Massachusetts election was a national referendum on health care reform or the Obama agenda. One explanation that deserves more attention was recently put forward by Carey Roberts at ifeminist.net. In "Prosecution of Innocent Man Seals Martha Coakley's Defeat", Roberts argues that Coakley's role in keeping Gerald Amirault in prison played a major role in the election of Scott Brown.

In the early 1980s, as explained in a story by Dorothy Rabinowitz that ran in the Wall Street Journal five days before the election, Gerald Amirault had been accused of plunging "a wide-blade butcher knife into the rectum of a 4-year-old boy, which he then had trouble removing. When a teacher in the school saw him in action with the knife, she asked him what he was doing, and then told him not to do it again, a child said. On this testimony, Gerald was convicted of a rape which had, miraculously, left no mark or other injury." In 2001, when the Massachusetts Board of Pardons voted 5-0 to release him, Coakley, then District Attorney Coakley, successfully pushed for the Governor to deny commutation, which she did in 2002. Amirault spent two more years in prison before finally being paroled.

this was brought up by Ann Coulter on oreilly around 1-14?, maybe a little earlier.
she said something to the effect that this feminist d.a. had kept a man in jail
for years after knowing he was innocent. i saw it and it bothered me.

quickie: these victims of feminists gone mad and had believing bizarro stories
about unreal acts of sexual perversion against children in a day care
in broad daylight where people came and went all day long.
the stuff the d.a. and jury used to put these people in jail for years made alice
in wonderland seem like everyday humdrum in comparison. btw - this happened
more than once in different places (cities/countries) back then, much like a disease.
kind of gives one a inkling/taste of how bad feminists were back then.
the man was kept in jail for years after the women were released, and even now
is on the registered sexual predator lists. sick folks fem's. martha merely piled
on later and kept him in jail even way longer, and would not allow him a retrial.
easy political points in sexual perverts, even innocent ones.

anyhoo, big 'o' (no, not opry) quickly cut Ann off. it came up around the 15th
on MND and i mentioned that i remembered it as well. from there it went viral and was
a few days later picked up by ifeminsts. go read it.

lots of people do read this stuff. i read for years before ever commenting.
yeah, i know some wish i had stayed hidden. too bad.

oops, late for work.
