Morganelli to run for Attorney General

Northampton County District Attorney John M. Morganelli said today that he’s laying the groundwork for his third campaign for state Attorney General, and expects to make an official announcement after Labor Day.

And, unlike past years, the veteran prosecutor says he expects to have Gov. Ed Rendell, a fellow Democrat, in his corner.

After his second, unsuccessful candidacy for the state’s top lawyer post in 2004, Morganelli said he was turning his back on statewide politics. He is running unopposed for a sixth term as DA in November.

But earlier this summer, Morganelli revealed he’d had a change of heart and was mulling a third run because many of the issues he’d run on in 2004, such as gun violence and parole reform, still had not been addressed.

Run for US House against Charlie Dent! Why will no one with experience in the Lehigh Valley challenge Charlie Dent?! He can be beaten!!!

Ugh not again

Morganelli will flame out just like he did every other time. This is just a repeat of the last few campaigns. This guy needs to give it up!

Chris Casey

I thought Chris Casey was running? Hasn’t this guy Morganelli run the last few times and not even been able to get the Dem nomination against Eisenhwer? What makes him think he can get it from Casey? What’s in the water in his County? Can we all just realze that the best chance for the Dems to win it is a Casey? John, give it up…run against Charlie Dent.

difference this time

The difference this time is that John is claiming that he will have backing from Rendell (though I’m more inclined to believe that Rendell stays clear), who in previous years endorsed Jim. John can win a general, but he will first have to get through the primary, which I do remember includes one of the Casey’s.

Rendell's for Casey

If Chris Casey wants to run, there is no doubt the Governor is behind him…as is the Senator(his brother) and most of the Democratic Congressional delegation and the State House and the Senate, the party committees as well.

If the Presidential primaries are done by the time this State has its primary, then only true, liberal Demoa will vote and they do not vote for John Morganelli.

If Morganelli runs and wins and gets the right to run in November, he will only win because of the strong republican backlash, straight Democratic ticket pulling, and a Democratic landslide.

Simply, imho, if Morganelli is the only race on the ballot, traditional, moderate to liberal Dems from the Southeast will not come out to vote for him because they do not like him— Republicans will vote for Corbett over him no matter what.

He should run for Congress.

Robocall from John Morganelli

5/9/08 On the same day a funeral was being held for a slain Philadelphia policeman, candidate John Morganelli unsolicited robo calls were made to random phone numbers in Pennsylvania.
Vote for me as the Democratic Attorney General and I’ll ban assault rifles. This type of solicitation during the burial of a slain policeman is the lowest form of political garbage. It is an insult to the family and friends of Officer Stephen Liczbinski to campaign for votes on the back of this slain officer.

TO THE HONORABLE,
THE JUSTICES OF THE SUPREME COURT OF PENNSYLVANIA:

Justice Ronald D. Castille
Justice Thomas G. Saylor
Justice J. Michael Eakin
Justice Max Baer
Justice Debra Todd
Justice Seamus P. McCaffery

Prelude

In the appeal for a new and competent trial currently before you (Commonwealth of PA v. Jacuqin Jaron Byrd), there has existed from its case conception widespread State and Federal Felony Criminal Public Corruption involving the law enforcement personal including the justices presiding this case.
As many formal criminal felony complaints have been filed against these public officials at local, county, state and federal levels, no investigation has been conducted even after Governor Edward Rendell asked for a full investigation of the felony charges be investigated by the Montgomery County District Attorney and the Lower Merion Township board of Commissioners.

The following copy is submitted that will hopefully show “in essence” of why the appeal for a new trial be granted:

Mr. Byrd,
Thank you! …. for writing your letter to me. I write you at this time to introduce myself to you and to share our common concern for fair and equal justice for all people of our community.
In following the events and submitted evidence of your case, it was blatantly evident you did not receive a fair and un-biased trial. I’m sure your father’s father and your father have handed down to you the knowledge of the cruel and unconscionable injustice to a community when criminal public corruption exists within our justice system. What you did receive was nothing less than a pre-meditated “lynching”.
What you were not told at your trial was that your trial judge was identified by Montgomery County Senior Norristown Detective as a felon directly involved of the felony crimes committed by the Lower Merion Police under the direct knowledge of Superintendent Joe Daly. This was affirmed by the staff of our local District Justice in Lower Merion.

State and Federal felony criminal charges filed against the Lower Merion Police include the fabrication of police evidence, fabrication of police reports, premeditated felony attack and attempted murder by the Lower Merion Police resulting in permanent disabilities. Resent threats to carry out this murder by Lower Merion Police Department remain un-investigated thru a long standing criminal collaboration throughout Montgomery County.
The Lower Merion Township Board of Commissioners has long been served official notice of the felony crimes under their authority and sworn duty to enforce the laws of the commonwealth. The Lower Merion Township Board of commissioners promised “a full investigation of these crimes” … yet months later … was told there was no investigation by the board.
The criminal municipal corruption is widespread in this matter. In short, evidence presented against you was sourced from felons within the Lower Merion Police Department and in criminal collaboration by other law enforcement employees including your trial judge. These felony criminal charges were made known to your “court appointed lawyer” from the District Attorneys office … yet he presented nothing of this criminal injustice in your behalf.
For the judge to have given you a fair trial he knew the charges of fabrication of police evidence, fabrication of police reports and many other felony crimes committed by the Lower Merion Police …........ would lead right back to him exposing his involvement in the felony crimes at Lower Merion Police.
Mr. Byrd, you were “lynched” ….. to avoid discovery of the felony crimes of the Lower Merion Police and other “law enforcement” employees in criminal collaboration.
Emergency petitions for injunctions against this judge to make “judgments” in your case are being sought to afford you a fair and un-biased trial. A statewide special grand jury is being requested from the PA Attorney General, as the municipal corruption is dangerously widespread.
The felony crimes were committed during the height of the Lower Merion Police attempts to obtain “accreditation” of competent police work. Commissioner Maryam Phillips was directly involved as head of the “Police oversight committee” in the review of all the police reports in question. The PA Chiefs of Police gave accreditation to the LMPD Police Department …. making the PA Chiefs of Police “accreditation program” a dangerous and worthless accreditation program for proof of competent police work for any community.
In filing formal petition under their own by-laws to the PA Chiefs of Police to show cause for desertification of this “bogus accreditation” ….. they will not even respond.
Formal charges of criminal municipal corruption against Lower Merion Police and the Lower Merion Township Board of Commissioners have been filed with the PA Attorney General Office.
PA Attorney General Tom Corbett is also the commissioner of this PA Chiefs of Police “accreditation program” where he was featured on the top of the list of commission members at the PA Chiefs of Police website. If you look today at their website PA Attorney General Tom Corbett was removed from the website and replaced by a front man from the PA Attorney Generals office. He told me PA Attorney General Tom Corbett is still an active member of the commission.
This will be the true test of PA Attorney General Tom Corbett …. of how well he does in cleaning out “his own house” of public criminal corruption.

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere” – MLK Jr.

Justice William T. Nicholas 38th Judicial District (Montgomery County, PA)
Justice Kathleen M. Valentine 38-1-07 (District Justice)
Superintendent Joseph Daly Lower Merion Police

I respectfully ask the Honorable Supreme Court Justices of Pennsylvania to intervene by order of formal criminal investigation of the deeply entwined facts and circumstances of these crimes.

Sincerely,

Richard Liberatoscioli
