The A.G. can take over a case but I can’t recall when that was done except for reasons of conflicts. The Boston Strangler case was taken over by an incompetent Ed Brooke who liked the notoriety and used the multi-county venues of the murders as his reason.
Well, Ernie, the Attorney General is the top law enforcement officer in the state. As in the final stop for ‘the buck’. If we had a ‘Ferguson’ in Massachusetts it would be precisely because the local police screwed the pooch and just kept on screwing… That’s why the AG would need to step in.
One more thing Ernie. How many times do you have to remind people you dislike professional women and Europe in general? How many misogynistic references? How many posts of you shooting your mouth off?
We Get It. You’re a sexist.
Big Deal.
Petr, Petr, Petr. When will you learn?
You didn’t mention district attorneys in your post. Maura acts as if she is the only elected prosecutor in line to stop it. Now that’s just for the murder investigation and criminal acts committed by police during the unrest.
The governor would be the one sending in the state police and national guard. Not the attorney general.
She could launch a civil rights investigation with a grand jury and all but that’s long term not an immediate response to the problem.
Sooo, in this fantasy of hers she imagines just about every every politician and prosecutor but her losing their minds and leaving her in charge.
The governor, the district attorneys, the mayors. Then she can justify her Al Haig moves.
As for not liking her because she’s a woman, I say “you are wrong probable cause breath.”
I dislike her candidacy because she is a Martha Coakley protege and Martha is a narcissistic, non-empathetic, over-zealous, prosecutor with an unhealthy level of ambition.
And the women’s basketball line well…women’s basket ball is to lesbians what broadway dancing is to gay guys. Nothing wrong with that but she’s mistaken if her jump shot appeals to the Larry Bird voter.
Regarding Coakley’s overreach and Healey as her protege. But her answers on Ferguson seemed reasonable, and I don’t see what her gender or sexual orientation has to do with anything.
