Shakespeare Was Right,…. August 19 2008
Its not enough that these two scumbags have to gall to sue the city for failing to prevent what passed for Danieal Kelly’s parents from killing her, now THEY need a lawyer to defend their actions?
Apologies sought in Danieal Kelly civil suit
Lawyers for Danieal Kelly’s estate yesterday called for apologies from Mayor Nutter and District Attorney Lynne M. Abraham for criticisms about the civil-rights lawsuit they filed.
George Bochetto, the attorney hired by Brian Mildenberg to “set the record straight” about how Mildenberg and cocounsel Eric G. Zajac came to be hired by Kelly’s parents, Daniel and Andrea Kelly, to sue the city and Department of Human Services on behalf of their daughter’s estate, said both men had been unfairly criticized. The two have been vilified in the news and on the Internet and have received several death threats, he said during a news conference yesterday.
Bochetto praised the mayor’s commitment to reform DHS and Abraham for the grand-jury investigation that resulted in the charges.
“But . . . they have gone too far when they blame these two fine young lawyers as being part of the problem,” Bochetto said.
“They are part of the solution,” Bochetto added. “And I think, with all due respect, the decent thing for both Lynne Abraham and Mayor Nutter to do is to extend Brian Mildenberg and Eric Zajac an apology for their vitriolic comments that were beyond the pale.”
It does not appear that those apologies will be coming any time soon.
“This entirely sad and sickening legal circus deserves no further attention or comment,” Nutter said in a statement.
Bochetto is apparently upset that Mayor Nutter threatened to “kick their asses” if someone treated his daughter like DHS treated Danieal Kelly. I guess that’s more of a response that you would’ve gotten from staid, buttoned-down Mayor John Street.
But then again, “The Department of Street” was too busy filling DHS with the “brothas and sistas” of his political friends to care about the end result.
You know, if you’re going to altruistically sue the city to force improvements, go after the Philadelphia Fire Department to improve the EMS service. Too many people die waiting for an ambulance to get them to the hospital every year.
**THAT’S MY OPINION AND YOU’RE ENTITLED TO IT!**
