Glenn Kranzley refused Bill Villa a "Welcome Mat" meeting 229 times to shield DA Martin

Glenn Kranzley is the former longtime editorial and opinions editor, and VP, at The Morning Call "newspaper."

These days he's a freelancer who also teaches "journalism" part-time at Lehigh University with Morning Call cronies that include Lehigh U adjunct "journalism" professor Christine (Press Agent for Celebrity Criminals) Schiavo ... Lehigh U adjunct "journalism" professor and "opinion columnist" William "Bill" White ... and Lehigh U "journalism" professor and elusive Morning Call "editor" Wally Trimble [Note: we didn't knock Wally's tooth out.]

Kranzley also moonlights ironically as an "instructor in communications" at Penn State Lehigh Valley.

But in happier times, Glenn G. Kranzley ruled the editorial and opinions roost at The Morning Call w/ a fist as stubbornly inflexible as iron.

Kranzley was especially powerful and influential as a member of the (now disbanded and defunct) Morning Call Editorial Board that annually and magnanimously boasted (in print) of having its:

"welcome mat always out for those who want to be heard." [See: paragraph 4 ]

FYI, I was one of "those who wanted to be heard."

My first born, and only daughter, Sheena Villa, was killed by the son of a prominent Allentown attorney who is a partner in the politically over-connected Allentown law firm, Gross McGinley, that has represented The Morning Call for many years.

I had some questions about the favoritism tactics being employed by sometime Gross McGinley client and Lehigh County District Attorney James B. Martin regarding several cases I had been following closely, in addition to my daughter Sheena's case.

In October 2007, Morning Call Investigations Editor Tim Darragh discussed my questions w/ me over the phone, for two hours, and told me my questions were ...

"excellent questions that deserved to be answered."

Although answers (acquired via Morning Call investigative reporting) would have been nice, at the time I was willing to settle for just discussing my excellent questions with The Morning Call Editorial Board after politely wiping my feet on their extended-to-everyone-else-who-wanted-to-be-heard welcome mat.

But curiously, Kranzley took the welcome mat inside.

In all, Glenn Kranzley rejected 229 polite email requests from me for a "welcome mat" meeting w/ his Editorial Board.

Along the way, Kranzley also rejected numerous outreaches from City and County elected officials questioning him as to why he was denying me a meeting. Incredibly, Kranzley even blew off a gracious offer from then Chairman of the Lehigh County Commissioners, Percy Dougherty, PhD who volunteered to act as a moderator at a "welcome mat" meeting involving The Morning Call Editorial Board and myself.

Kranzley's only communication to me on this was a purposefully inflammatory 2-word email saying, "We'll pass."

Team Martin gatekeeper Kranzley's overt wagon-circling was briefly 'challenged' by the Lehigh Valley blogosphere. Kranzley's response was to invite most of the 'dissenting' bloggers to become affiliated w/ The Morning Call "newspaper" and have their blogs featured on The Morning Call's website. Predictably, all of the publicity-aquiver bloggers' challenging questions stopped immediately and their allied and malicious 'straw party' litigation led by diminutive Morning Call blogger, election loser, and attorney (for now) David C. Najarian started soon after but was ultimately defeated by us in court. Sadly, Morning Call-affiliated malice and harassment against us continues. Ditto DA Jim Martin's Villa Vendetta and The Morning Call purposefully looking the other way on phony trumped-up criminal charges that were rigged against me by DA Jim Martin and Tom Corbett but were ultimately defeated by us in court.

In the two years since Glenn Kranzley's karmatic shit-canning, I've succeeded in answering most of my own excellent questions about DA Jim Martin's tactics ... definitively.

And comprehensively.

Ditto the tactics used by The Morning Call.

DA Jim Martin frees drunk driver who hit police car, fled, fought with officers, had prior DUI and careless driving arrest

["Reporter" Manny Gamiz responds. See comments.]

[UpDated 9/25/11] Readers, turns out accused drunk driver/cop car crasher Christopher Nobile had a prior DUI on 2/8/05 and a prior (same date) arrest for careless driving and public drunkenness. Q. Did DA Jim Martin, the cops, or the arraigning judge check for priors prior to bailing out and releasing Chris "Crash" Nobile?

---------

Possibly thinking (?) that people who live in glass houses shouldn't (hiccup) throw stones, on Saturday night 9/17/11 local police and DA Jim Martin curiously OK'd granting bail to, and releasing, a Lower Macungie Township man who, driving drunk, had crashed into a police car and then drove off with the cops in hot pursuit, at one point driving the wrong way on Route 100 and forcing other cars off the road, and then resisting arrest and fighting with the police officers who eventually captured him.

Chris Nobile, 43, admitted to the roughed-up cops he had been drinking.

He was charged with fleeing or attempting to elude police, drunk driving, simple assault, reckless endangerment, resisting arrest, harassment and accidents involving damage to attended vehicle or property.

Nobile was also charged with a number of traffic violations, including careless driving, reckless driving, driving the wrong way, running stop signs, driving without lights to avoid identification or arrest, failing to stop at a red signal and failing to yield for an emergency vehicle.

He was released after posting just $25,000 bail, i.e., only $2,500 of his own money via bail bondsman.

As mentioned above, defendant Christopher Nobile had a prior DUI on 2/8/05 and a prior (same date) arrest for careless driving and public drunkenness.

Q. Would you or I have been granted the same leniency? On our third offense. It's not likely, and LVS is in the process of trying to find out what makes Chris Nobile so special to DA Jim Martin. Not surprisingly, The Morning Call "newspaper" has no interest in finding out-- that's the distinct impression I got after speaking on the telephone w/ Morning Call "reporter" Manny Gamiz.

Morning Call lets DA Jim Martin get away with "No Comment" on stunning acquittal

Readers, don't let the purposefully dizzying and convoluted coverage by The Morning Call "newspaper" bamboozle you.

Try reading their September 15 article: Man acquitted of kidnapping

Editor's Note: The Morning Call "newspaper" has deleted this article from its archives to shield DA Jim Martin from scrutiny. It originally ran on September 15, 2011. Poof. It's not there anymore, click here and have a look.

This one's pretty simple really.

Either ... a guilty kidnapper walked in this case because increasingly erratic and incompetent prosecutor DA Jim Martin failed to convince the jury of his guilt.

Or ... an innocent man was falsely charged by an increasingly erratic and incompetent DA Jim Martin and the jury saw right through it quickly.

It was one or the other.

And curiously, according to Morning Call "reporter" Kevin Amerman ...

"Attempts to reach the prosecutor [from DA Jim Martin's office] in the case, Craig Scheetz, for comment after the verdict were unsuccessful."

Yo ... Cubby ... don't give up so easily.

In fact, tell ya what ...

We'll work on this story together this week.

I'll phone you first thing Monday morning.

This case stinks to high heaven and I want answers.

Finally, bully DA Jim Martin's shameful and media un-challenged public harassment of Macungie Mayor Rick Hoffman is over.

11/14 UpDate: DA Martin's Ego Erupts In Court

Yeow. Readers, FYI, last year, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court refused to even hear a frivolous and vexatious appeal filed by DA Jim Martin that had already been rejected resoundingly by the Pennsylvania Superior Court and Lehigh County Common Pleas Court.

That case involved DA Jim Martin's hardened, wide-stance insistence that he had the ultimate authority to pay undercover informants to have tape recorded sex with prostitute masseuses as many times as he liked.

Lehigh County Judge Robert L. Steinberg disagreed disgustingly and tossed Martin's case out of his sight calling it 'outrageous.'

Frustrated, and engorged, DA Jim Martin then pumped countless taxpayer dollars and county man hours into appealing Judge Steinberg's ruling to the Pennsylvania Superior Court where he lost BIG again.  Incredibly, Martin then appealed to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. In refusing to even hear DA Jim Martin's Superior Court ruling appeal, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court basically told DA Jim Martin to take his already twice-tossed Shiatsu sex case and beat it ... and then (presumably) to have a cigarette.

DA Jim Martin & Retired Judge Brenner Give Joshua Share a "Julia Brenner Deal"

From yesterday's Morning Call online:

House arrest, community service for drunk driver who injured friend

Readers, Best Friend of Drunk Drivers DA Jim Martin set the Joshua Share case up for a "wrist slap" from Lehigh County Senior (Retired) Judge Lawrence J. Brenner by (again) inexplicably dropping the major charge-- in this case felony aggravated assault. See LVS's illuminating July exposé entitled, Booze-loving DA Jim Martin gives another drunk driver the break of a lifetime.

And ... I think I know why Senior (Retired) Judge Lawrence J. Brenner was brought out of mothballs, infused w/ embalming fluid, and propped up on the bench for this case-- an assignment that, BTW, would have been arranged by President Judge Carol K. McGinley, a co-founder of the crony-connected law firm Gross McGinley that regularly represents crony pals such as The Morning Call and unethical election conduct scofflaw DA Jim Martin. Yep. It's who you know around here. And who knows who. And who keeps a lid on everything.

Just a theory, but I'm betting that DA Jim Martin asked President Judge Carol Gross McGinley to put the most lenient, alcoholic-sympathetic, and DUI-friendly judge in Lehigh County on the Joshua Share case, and that judge is definitely Lawrence J. Brenner.

Why? Simple.

Judge Brenner's wife Julia was arrested for drunk driving ...

Criminal Docket: Julia E. Brenner

... and, like Joshua Share, after excessively high blood alcohol content, high-speed drunk driving that sent her airborne, and into a tree, which could have killed her passenger (her husband, Judge Brenner), Julia Brenner got off really easy too. Crony cozily, Julia Brenner was represented by Malcolm Gross McGinley and her "newspaper" coverage was written by then Morning Call coverup "reporter" and now DA Jim Martin coverup Executive Aide Debbie Garlicki, see ...

DA Jim Martin pussies out, drops the major charge (again) and takes the easiest route

Readers, even The Morning Call "newspaper" can't look (totally) the other way on this one ...

Attempted homicide charge withdrawn against Peaches; others waived to court

As "reporter" Manny Gamiz notes:

District Attorney ... did not give details on why the most serious charge against Campbell ["Peaches"] was withdrawn.

Manny, I'll tell you why.

It's the longstanding M.O. of our long un-opposed DA Jim Martin to parade serious charges around for the media, at first, but then to drop the major charges and passively go for a conviction on much lesser charges because that's much easier to get. It's like only shooting layups and never attempting a 3-pointer. But this way, at election time, under-achieving DA Jim (hiccup) Martin can brag about his "high percentage" conviction rate. Screw those crime victims and their families who wanted a shot at justice. DA Jim Martin is the Monty Hall of let's make a plea deal w/ criminals.

Lehigh County voters, don't get fooled (again).

On November 8, vote Ed Koren for Lehigh County District Attorney.
