PA Dems, GOPers Send Open Letter to Mukasey about Wecht Case.

TPM:

In an open letter to Attorney General Michael Mukasey and U.S. Attorney Mary Beth Buchanan today, more than two dozen Pennsylvania public figures urged that the Justice Department "reconsider the publicly announced decision to re-try De. Cryil Wecht." You can see the letter here.

Among the signers are Melissa Hart, a former Republican congresswoman who lost reelection in 2006, Jerry Johnson, the U.S. Attorney for Pittsburgh during the Reagan administration, and both the former and current chair of the Republican Party in Allegheny County. The signers also include a number of members of the Allegheny county council and the Democratic former mayor of Pittsburgh, Tom Murphy. The Wecht case is based on allegations that Wecht misused county resources while serving as coroner there.

It's encouraging to see bipartisan AMERICANS recognize justice system inefficiencies, and agree that in creating unnecessary hardships and expenses for the sake of sensationalism and "winning"
... enough is enough.

AG Musk Rat and his Deputy Doubt boy could care less about letters. So many people and Law Makers have sent Musk Rat letter and he just puts them in the garbage can. His job is to keep the criminal activity going until Jan. 20th. There are case that have been fixed and Judges getting kick backs. Musk Rat is only interested in making sure innocent people go to jail. As the White House policy is I'll get back to you on that.
