Martha Coakley’s Betrayal
Like Deval Patrick, Coakley talks tough but is soft on crime
CAMBRIDGE – Larry Frisoli, candidate for Attorney General, released a new radio ad “Betrayal” today. In this ad, Frisoli details another instance where Martha Coakley has been soft on crime.
Earlier this year, Larry Frisoli brought criminal charges against a cop, Keith Winfield, accused of raping, beating [the child has a fractured skull, ribs, back and wrist] and burning a two year old child – even after the case was squashed by Coakley’s DA office. Winfield’s father is involved in the Carpenter’s Union from which Coakley has received numerous campaign contributions.
“Martha Coakley choice to not pursue the case is a betrayal of the public’s trust,” said Frisoli. “As District Attorney, her job is to protect the children, not the predators. What makes it even worse it that it appears she choose to not pursue charges for political reasons. We just can’t trust Martha Coakley.”
The text of the radio ad is as follows:
FRISOLI RADIO:60 – “BETRAYAL”
ANNOUNCER:
It was the ultimate betrayal of trust.
A police officer in Massachusetts is accused of raping a 2 year-old child -- his very own niece -- who repeatedly says, quote “uncle hit me…uncle hurt me…”
Within days, Social Services seeks criminal prosecution.
But the investigation becomes stalled…
Larry Frisoli steps in and alerts Martha Coakley’s DA’s office that he intends to file criminal charges against the accused rapist.
Martha Coakley’s DA’s office says they will act.
But nothing happens… Nothing.
The accused rapist is also the son of a prominent union activist.
A union that contributed to Coakley’s campaign 17 times.
Only after Frisoli forces Coakley to act are charges brought – at the last possible second.
For one family, it is a nightmare.
But for Martha Coakley it is business as usual.
As your Attorney general, Larry Frisoli will put justice for Massachusetts first.
Larry Frisoli.
Like Deval Patrick, Martha Coakley claims to be tough on crime, but her record indicates otherwise.
