Open Letter to Lehigh County Chief Deputy District Attorney A. Renee Smith
Dear Chief Deputy DA Renee Smith:
In jaw-dropping astonishment, I read in today's Morning Call "newspaper" (online, for free) of your intention to run for Lehigh County Court of Common Pleas Judge this year ...
I must voice my vigorous protest.
Renee: you're a pathological liar.
You lied to Sheena's family on May 15, 2006 when you told us about a "trend" of appellate court reversals of third degree murder convictions for DUI related traffic fatalities in Pennsylvania. There is no such trend, as you know I later discovered.
You lied again that same day when you told us Sheena's killer would "walk scott-free" if he were charged w/ third degree murder and not convicted of it by a jury-- there would have been other charges. You lied, to my grieving and vulnerable family, as if there was only "1 shot" at prison w/ a third degree murder charge in the equation. That was a lie.
On September 25, 2007, you lied to grieving father Chris Mohney, the night before trial, when you phoned him on behalf of DA Jim Martin and told him that Judge Steinberg had "tossed" the blood evidence against his son Zach's killer because Lehigh Valley Hospital had screwed up the paperwork on the chain of custody on that crucial evidence. That was a huge, and reckless, lie. That same night, you told Judge Steinberg another lie-- that the grieving and vulnerable Mohney family was "in agreement" w/ a plea deal that dropped 9 of the 14 charges against their son Zach's killer. This was a lie that your new co-worker, DA Jim Martin Executive Aide Debbie Garlicki helped perpetuate in The Morning Call "newspaper."
And now you want to be ... a judge?
I don't think so.
Just walk away in shame, Renee.
You're doing far too much damage to grief-stricken families already, working (for now) in the Lehigh County DA's office.

"Somebody" is doing a great job on this.
You're the story, and it is so relevant.
Things are happening (Judge Steinberg must take a stand).
Agreed, and thanks.

FYI, Hi Doug, we wish you were running for DA ...

Villas, FYI, there are TWO judge seats available in Lehigh County this year (missed by Morning Call).
Platt's well-worn seat.
And "Judge" Ed Reibman's seat.
Reibman's up for reelection.
Reibman should be shit-canned for his shitty Pro-Jim Martin ruling against family member victims of Charles Cullen.
Couldn't agree more.
Judge Ford is up for retention too. Keep him.

Readers, on a related subject ...
a total nobody (who once got creamed by Doug Reichley) was on to something back in October 2007 but totally dropped the ball on it, on purpose.
See: "Ethics, Morning Call style" and the accompanying comments.
And don't believe Jeff Pooley when he name-checks Chris Casey as being "astute" at anything other than defiling my deceased daughter.
This "smoking gun" is smoking so much it's still hot more than 3 years later.....

"The Homicide while DUI was "dropped" because the hospital lost or never had the proper paperwork to maintain a chain of custody on the drivers blood. Once that charge was gone there was no plea bargain, Squires simply pled guilty to the balance of the charges. I told the reporter that yesterday when we spoke but she omitted it from the article. I obviously wish the whole truth had been printed. Thanks LVHC"
>>> Debbie Garlicki didn't report on anything Mr. Mohney was told by Renee Smith the night before trial....because she knew, from Martin, the real story. Had Garlicki reported in the paper on what Renee Smith told Mr. Mohney, Lehigh Valley Hospital surely would have cried foul. So Garlicki purposefully kept that part OUT, to protect Martin, and to keep his "fix" "private," i.e., only between Mohney and Smith. That's evil.
Bingo. And congratulations. You are the recipient of the LVS Best Comment Of The Week Award.
"Merci."
Knowing what they know.....I believe it's really shitty that Lehigh Valley Hospital is keeping quiet on this. But then again, I'll bet no one from the media ever asked them about this sordid affair.....
Touché.
NBC Universal,
there's your first call ...
"For the most part, Lehigh County is probably one of the most fortunate places you could get a DUI."
See: "ARD in Lehigh County."
