So tough as nails, crime reporter, Harley ridin’, Herald writer, Michelle McPhee went after Sen. Wilkerson today. The reporter with the comical photo continues to carry the water for the BPD. Today she wrote that Dianne Wilkerson referred Milena Del Valle’s family to a reputable and capable law firm through her son’s live-in girlfriend/mother of her grandchild, who was an ADA but offered a job there a few months back. Got that?
Wilkerson, who is an attorney, could have gotten a hefty referral fee for herself from scores of competant personal injury lawyers in Boston. Instead,she did what parents do. She thought, I imagine ‘this would be a nice case to start out with’.
There is nothing wrong with having a nice civil case lined up when you leave for the private sector. People dont leave a job until they know where they are going. Even state employees.
The young attorney called the law office to see if the job was still available and confirm the fee policy for cases she brings to the firm. Like the new personal injury case.
Michelle of course needs to create turmoil and thus sees a possible crime. She writes .
” It remains unclear if Soriano violated Massachusetts law which prohibits state employees from directly or indirectly receiving or requesting compensation from anyone . . . in relation to any particular matter in which the commonwealth or a state agency is a party or has a direct and substantial interest.
It is clear. This is not that. Any monies or work she recieves or does occurs after she left the state’s employment. She had no involvement with the investigation and the A.G. office is leading the investigation not Conley’s Office. What if the case involved a car accident involving a state owned car? No different.
But Michelle is a cop Kool-Aid Drinker and Wilkerson is the BPD’s most hated politician. She has had the audacity to stand up against police abuse during the 15+ years she’s been the senator from Roxbury. Recently she accused former homicide detectives, whose careers were less than stellar, of fixing evidence. Now the cops want Dan Conley to indict her.
Wilkerson has election opponents and the BPD sees an opening to take her down.
The gloves are off. Dianne Wilkerson ‘wont so much be as able to spit on the side walk without paying for it.’
Same ole cop language. But new weapon. Its called Michelle McPhee. Daa dada daaaa
