Editor:
Over the past couple months Ive read the pros and cons of both candidates for district attorney. Rather than be swayed by rhetoric, Ive decided to go on the facts. Russell Wasley, the current DA, has the following record:
1. Miller, convicted, 20 years in prison.
2. Nash, convicted, 10 years in prison.
3. Jim, convicted, 14 years in prison.
4. Tutt, convicted, 16 years in prison.
5. Carr, convicted, 20 years in prison.
6. Harrison, convicted, 20 years in prison.
7. Sullivan, convicted, not yet sentenced.
8. Fullbright, convicted, 30 years in prison.
Some have suggested that Wasley isnt fit or is incompetent. If hes anywhere near this bad, how was he able to convince a jury to convict on these serious offenses? If he wasnt prepared and showed up late, again as some have suggested, why didnt the judge throw these cases out? How can I believe that someone this bad can be so successful?
Now lets look at the opponent, Will Furse. How many years has he served as an assistant DA? None! How many cases has he tried? None! How much experience does he have working in a DAs office? None!
It doesnt take a genius to figure out who Im voting for! Lets re-elect Wasley so he can continue putting the bad guys away!
