Dorothy Rabinowitz breaks down the appalling case of the Amiraults in Massachusetts, victims of Martha Coakley:
"The story of the Amiraults of Massachusetts, and of the prosecution that had turned the lives of this thriving American family to dust, was well known to the world by the year 2001. It was well known, especially, to District Attorney Martha Coakley, who had by then arrived to take a final, conspicuous, role in a case so notorious as to assure that the Amiraults' name would be known around the globe." Gerald Amirault spent eighteen years of his life in prison for crimes he manifestly did not commit. "The accusations against the Amiraults might well rank as the most astounding ever to be credited in an American courtroom, but for the fact that roughly the same charges were brought by eager prosecutors chasing a similar headlinemaking cases all across the country in the 1980s. Those which the Amiraults' prosecutors brought had nevertheless, unforgettable features: so much testimony, so madly preposterous, and so solemnly put forth by the state. The testimony had been extracted from children, cajoled and led by tireless interrogators."

Good article Joy
I went to Jr. and High School with Cheryl. The charges against them were insane. If you believe there were clowns in hot air balloons raping children while flying over Malden then vote Coakley and affirm mass insanity.
The tactics used to prosecute the Amiraults are now used by criminal investigators as the standard of how NOT to run such an investigation.
Martha Croakly is a detestable woman. How she can live with herself and sleep at night knowing full well what she did to that family is beyond my ability to understand. And the sad part is that she’s gotten away with it and has absolutely no remorse.
I still wonder how the kids involved in all those trials are faring as adults.
This lady should become the national poster child for Democrat candidates and office holders. She is the quintessential liberal. And she is very representative of just how states and cities run for years and years by liberals have come to be in the miserable condition we find today.
Hopefully Scott Brown’s success in going head-to-head, seeking a Senate seat that was all but assured of going to a Democrat, will put some spine in others to take on the monster.
I am especially proud of conservatives for standing up to the crowd that has tended to let the perfect become the enemy of the good. He’s certainly not what I would want to represent conservatives in Congress, but thankfully he will be immeasurably better than the opponent.

If you live in Massachusetts, become an election judge. In Boston they pay $135-$185 and they NEED Republican monitors.
Needed; military and retired law enforcement VFW and police organizations etc to monitor polls- prevent the voter fraud theyre plotting right now. Video tape everything; document everything; prosecute the perpetrators. http://www.cityofboston.gov/news/default.aspx?id=3599
That needs to be highlighted and repeated. Exactly my thoughts! She is years of leftist vomit regurgitated into one heap.
Here is one I ran across from Washington State. The man was set free in 2004 and his children later recanted. I don’t think the man is completely out of the woods yet according to the article. In post #24 someone mentions the Amirault case:
