Readers, even The Morning Call "newspaper" can't look (totally) the other way on this one ...
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 did not give details on why the most serious charge against Campbell ["Peaches"] was withdrawn.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.

Martin's M.O. includes waving "tough guy" D.A. charges around for the TV cameras ... and then secretly dropping the charges he knew he wasn't going to prosecute, later. But normally there's no trace. Somebody at the "newspaper" must have (pardon my French) fucked up on this one.

Readers, not surprisingly, the IP address "LehighCounty.org" is spotted stalking LVS for damaging and exposed dirty facts 250X or more each day, and these gold-bricking folks would of course include DA Jim Martin, "Executive Aide" (wink wink) Debbie Garlicki, County Executive (for now) Don Cunning-Ham, DA Jim Martin shield/sycophant/notary Merrily Starkey, Detective Dennis Steckel, and Chief Deputy DA Dog Renee Smith among others (e.g., judges McGinley, and Reibman).

Readers, although we get a steady spew stream (daily) of cyber stalking taunts and threats here at LVS, and sadly, not all of them are from (wink wink) "anonymous"...
tellingly, no one ever factually disputes our dirty facts on DA Jim Martin and The Morning Call "newspaper."

Now HERE'S some investigative reporting ...
Email, Outgoing, to criminal defense attorney Gavin P. Holihan, Esq., cc'd to Lehigh County District Attorney (for now) Jim Martin and forwarded to all the usual suspects in the local media.

Attorney Holihan, FYI, LVS's next blog post will be probing the inappropriateness of defense attorneys sitting on DA Jim Martin's reelection Host Committee, like you did at the Bill & Phyllis Grube/Tom Corbett shindig back in March, shortly before garnering a plea deal for Clyde Lont that Judge Anthony called "amazing" and "a bargain" from the bench.
If you'd like to be interviewed for a comment prior to publication, give me a call.
You too, Jim.

Don't know what upsets me more, the outright crookedness of "Team Martin/Morning Call,' or the hubris and arrogance they display in smugly believing that only Bill Villa will ever call them on their shit.

Oui, we covered that several days ago in our right sidebar content section entitled, "POOF! Allied Antagonist Bloggers Retired."
7:36, did you notice whose Facebook page went POOF!
Donovan's pusillanimous pally Bill Stauffer.
Oh well.
Let's please stay on topic ... ;D
Mea Culpa.
How long has DA Martin served in LC?
Trish
Hi Trish, crooked and incompetent DA Jim Martin was appointed by the Lehigh County Commissioners in 1998 to fill the seat vacated by DA Bob Steinberg who had become Judge Robert L. Steinberg.
It was a quite an unexpected appointment (and one that was opposed by Percy Dougherty), since Bob Steinberg's right hand, Doug Reichley, was in line for the job, and Doug was much better qualified than (hiccup) Jim Martin.
In 1999, Jimbo squeaked past Democratic challenger Glenn Clark largely on the "strength" of a Martin direct mailer that depicted a row of African-American criminals that ended w/ a photo of African-American DA candidate Glenn Clark.
In 2003, the Lehigh County Democrats failed to put up a candidate to oppose DA Martin.
In 2007, they failed again.
Right now, in 2011, Ed Koren is challenging DA Jim Martin for Lehigh County District Attorney.
