Updated: Prosecutorial Twist

This three sentence statement is astounding:



Mr. Baxter states that the AG issued a statement "as a result of this false publication?" Not. true. at. all. The AG was responding to a public records request. The AG did not state that the Register's story was false - but Mr. Baxter is attempting to mislead people into believing that the AG made their statement because of the Register's story. It's scary to see Baxter twist cause and effect here.

I wonder if this is the way he practices law.

The AG's statement because somebody asked to see it:


The Register has published statements from other persons involved in the investigation who explain why the AG's investigation didn't establish probable cause. The statement was made that the alleged drug use happened too long ago to prosecute.

We are talking about the Erie County Prosecutor alleging using drugs. Why is everyone looking the other way on this and not giving this a full investigation?

Did anyone else notice Matt Westerhold's latest blog disappeared from the Register web site? the one titled something like...wake up and snort the cocaine.....

Lets see the "attached statement". I did see MW's blog come up missing. He may have forgotten that even the prosecutor is innocent until proven guilty.

When is the other shoe going to drop?

Don't ya think that sooner or later someone is going to talk about the alledged incidents with a public official if there is a safe environment to provide some disclosures?
