Judges whine over DA's criticism

THE CITY'S Common Pleas judges have taken on an unlikely foe: District Attorney Lynne Abraham.

In an unprecedented action - unreported until now - the city's Board of Judges voted overwhelmingly last fall to file a formal complaint accusing Abraham of unethical conduct because of her scathing criticism of judges.

The board then hired an attorney to file the complaint of misconduct with the disciplinary board of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania.

The vote, which came at a September meeting attended by 60-some judges, reflected long-simmering resentment about Abraham's public reprimands that came to a head over her comments about Judge Lisa Rau, several judges said.

"What she cares about are the victims of crime and the innocent people who live in the city.

"She cares about criminals who are recycled back on the streets to prey upon innocent people."

Good for her.

Names should be taken, and those judges who are out to persecute her should be voted out the next election. Even if that means a complete overhaul. It might not even hurt to freep those incompetent judges, if one is so inclined.

People are tired of criminals having more rights than we do - especially when it's a sexual pervert and/or serial killer. And now is a good opportunity to deliver the message by an outward support of that woman.

Remember when FR's own Don & Teri Adams were Freeping Clinton and the Teamsters beat them up?

District Attorney Lynne Abraham is the same woman who tried to cover the whole thing up and she actually pressed charges against Don & Teri instead of the Teamsters, even though the assault was on video.

I believe the charges against Don & Teri were finally dropped and Teamsters were charged, but only after a long fight where Lynne Abraham used and abused her powers to persecute Don & Teri and protect the union goons.

I didn't follow the link, but if Lynne is having a hard time here, I am sure she deserves it in one way or another.
