Cruzer, I believe there was an outside judge brought in for the latest trial. Can't comment on the other trial, i believe it occured about 2 or more years ago.
Let's hope Lantz does her job and terminates the assistant prosecutor who turned over the messages from his cell phone. That person should, also, lose his job, whether he ratted on his boss or not. don't think you could trust this one either to be fair in the duties of the prosecutor's office.
you sure have a lot of info on your posted link, and the former prosecutor still says these events are all political?
I just can't believe he is trying to blame his loss (whether from the election or his 'position as city prosecutor') on the political undercurrent these last few weeks.
Wasn't Ally using his LUNCH time to attend services? I thought I read that somewhere. I think that if you are a Christian and are required to work when your religion was having services, allowances would be made for you to attend - probably using a lunch hour, etc.
This was about more than just attending religious services, read the facts.
I also believe that the Mayor would not make this decision without having SOLID proof of what the 'soon to be former' prosecutor did. The Mayor is just doing his job.
I believe the Mayor did NOT go far enough, the assistant needs to go also.
It is about time we have someone in office who will DO the job, the right thing. The soon to be former prosecutor lied one time too many. I am somewhat pleased by this turn of events, however, it should go further.
This is a good day for the political system in Y-town, let's hope the trend continues.
I AGREE with you, doesn't the JUDGE have a responsibility? This sentence is a joke on justice. This person gets to continue being employed, still contributing to her pension all the while thieving union dues using union funds as her personal checkbook. Where is the fairness in all of this. This person is a criminal, the punishment DOES NOT equate with the crime.
These comments are NOT about race, just questioning the rational in letting a person GO FREE, WITHOUT any type of consequences. How can someone admit to misappropriating that HUGE amount of $$$$ and then get a MISDEMEANOR, sentence suspended (NO JAIL TIME), and on and on......just seems rather typical of the political machine here in y-town.

Why doesn't anyone EVER mention how this person, Mr.Maldonado, was CLEARED, found NOT guilty of ALL these trumped up charges.
This valley is shameful, shame on the political arena here.
Seems YSU OWNS the courts and everyone involved in the Mahoning Valley.

STEWIE,
You are CORRECT! Both need to go in order to show justice AND fairness in the city.
