Wow.
That’s all there is to say about
the jury finding Board of Elections Commissioner Ed McDonough not guilty.
As I stated before, there were
three things McDonough had to worry about … his DNA was under the flap of the ballot
envelopes, there were some 40 voters who said they didn’t fill in a number of
fields on the application and a former FBI handwriting analyst who said the
aforementioned fields were written in McDonough’s hand.
And yet the jury spoke and found
McDonough not guilty. So be it. He is not guilty.
One can’t help but give McDonough’s
attorney, Brian Premo, credit for the win. I and a bunch of other people were
wondering why he didn’t put up any witnesses but it turned out a successful
strategy.
We’ll have to see what happens
with Trey Smith’s bill. Something tells me the county will raise even more of a
stink about it.

In the end, I can’t say I’m upset
about the verdict. I always got along with McDonough and would hate to see him
looking at jail time three days before Christmas for something as stupid as
trying to steal the Working Families Party line.
After McDonough’s acquittal, and
the acquittal of former Councilman Michael LoPorto earlier this year, I bet
there are four guys who wish they took their case to a jury too rather than
pleading guilty and they are: former Councilman John Brown, operatives Tony
Renna and Tony DeFiglio and former City Clerk Bill McInerney.
This scandal is more than three
years old so it’s time to put the whole thing to bed now. There are two guys
still under indictment, former Councilman Clement Campana and Councilman Gary
Galuski, but I hope Smith either cuts a deal or drops it all together.
It’s time to move on.

OJ was not guily also..
Franco, you're such a hypocrite. You've been harping for years that the democrats should go to jail for this foolish case that Bob Mirch and King Tut Harry started by hiring a private investigator. What a time wasting expensive pile of crap case that we have to pay for hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars for.
Now you say you don't want to see McDonough go to jail for something stupid. Really?
Another fine job by the anti Perry Mason, Trey Smith. Fact is, all the wrong people were made to face the piper. McGrath, Renna, Mac, O Malley, and Brown should have been made to go to trial.
Congratulations Ed you got away with it. Congratulations to all you true Democrates in Troy and open your arms wide and welcome back Clem, Laporto and the rest of the delusional bunch! Rabbit Hood will be out with his slate of candidates that Wade won't endorse they include Kevin McRath Kenny Zzzzz Nina and Rodney Septembers going to be great!!!! Then in November you will all have 3 way races. You all will be eating your young!
thousands of our soldiers have died in recent years fighting for democracy. i think this case was worth prosecuting. trey go after the rest of them . our veterans will thank you.
trey, if you feel the other two are guilty just go after them . do it on your own cost and show the people of renss county what your made of. you owe it to them.
This trial was a travesty. It never should have gone this far with McDonough. The parade of clowns prsented by the prosecution to establish McDonough's guilt was almost comical but for the disruption in a man's life. Smith obviously started with the theory that McDonough was the ringleader. He wasn't and Smith never adjusted his strategy.
I hope Ed enjoys his holidays and I hope Smith apologizes for this farce and the witnesses he put forward.
On the plus side, Smith did get guilty pleas from some people. That is a good thing and maybe the best we can do.
Cheers
After 3 years and a few months of following this circus I have to give a shout out to the only guys who didn't squeal Laporto,Mason and Campana like them or not they didn't throw anybody under the bus.
Do you think we need to move the next 2 trials to another county, where maybe the jury won't have people who know the defendants? Smith has got to be an idiot to lodge all those charges against the wrong people. The same one's he gave the sweetheart deals to. Maybe a new prosecutor while we're at it. Maybe one who isn't tied in with the same defendants he gifted with almost no punishment, after being the ringleaders. New county should be insisted on so someone actually pays for this mess.
The ones who took the early pleas did the forgeries, based on what I have read. They were all Democrats, McInerney, Brown, etc.
Maybe the case presented against McDonough was weak. Sure did not help having Renna get on the stand and lie.
Primaries for the Council Dems are no surprise. They have been in the works for a while. Good to see a real leader like Rabbit there to back Ed up in court and show support. Way to go Rabbit.
Hey Kathy Jimmino why don't we hire Trey smith and let him spend as much money as he want ( no cap) while we take the custodian to trail for stealing candyAnd pencils out of the city courtroom store Great job Kathy sure glade I voted for you,,,,, shame on you the first time,,, shame on me the second ,,,I'll never made that mistake again!!

Stop wasting our money on Trey smith this guy a minor leaguer ,,,,,with a major league pay ,,,,shame on you Kathy No more trails and wasted money ,,,,bring in tebiw,,,,,,,,,,,,coach
0 for 4 and $800,000 plus. Time for taxpayers to revolt. Smith was told that this was all about Brown and MacInerney, but he refused to believe. Conflicting DNA, a handwriting report that he won't share. Prosecuction witnesses that lie and change their stories (McInerney, Brown, Defiglio, and Renna).
Ed McDonough Sr. Was right! Trey Smith isn't fit to be the District Attorney!
premo didn't need to call any witnesses, with the ones smith had he didn't have to.
Jim you are such a hypocrite. You make my skin crawl!
Franco go to Texas with the snake-oil man or Fla. with the Swade. You are a fraud and a phoney as well as a fool. Post all submissions. That way your silly comments cab also be exposed for the biased nonsense they are. Your not even qualified to report let alone censor or write!
Reading all this and all I can think is this is where 12 of Eds pears came from.........only in Troy
No no no Jim Smith I mean Franco even you and your pals should know that is not the way the real world works. So let me inform you. Wade ad others need a corrupt fool to falsely prosecute a fall guy to save McInerney McGrath McNally Wade DeFilio Renna and Wades boy in BOE (OMalley the weakest link) so, of course Smith is anointed because no one has more lack of integrity and honesty or delusions of grandeur and self importance. Plus Smith wants DA Office so takes the task for promise of the same. Of course, sending Smith into the battlle against Premo was like sending a 13 year old CYO boxer against Tyson it was over before the kids mom was pregnant with him! Now McDonough will rightly sue the delusional group of corrupt fools and expose the whole mess in federal court. Nicely done all you Democrats and stand on sideline Republicans. By the by, the entire case case be ironically summarized by the fact that Smith hired that fraud Robillard: look him up online. I saw much of the trial and Premo even made that point clear to jury. He is called A "professional liar for hire" OMG who else would pick that guy! 100,000 and jury through his worthless paid lie inthe trash with his reputation.
I do not believe it was Mrs. Jimino's call on the appointment of Mr. Smith. Did he really pass the Bar? Premo & Coleman ate him up and spit him out. McDonough never should have been pegged as a ringleader to begin with. Does O'Malley keep his job, now that he's admitted to forging ballots? Blaming Mrs. Jimino is just political BS -- no Rabbit's in the hat there folks!!!!!!
It is Soooooo FUNNY how little publicity the Record gave to the McDonough Not Guilty News!! Had Eddie been found Guilty, the story would have been Headline, with 5 related columns and would have been Front Page for 5 more days! Probably The Record's "Top Story of The Year". Franco must be despondent. VanDenBurgh too. And Johnny McLaughlin! Anybody else notice how little news is actually printed by the Record? Without their muckraking and scandal creating columns, there isn't anything in this rag worth buying! Hopefully, The Record will fold its tent and go away. Just like the City Republican Party. They're both now dinosaurs and anachronisms. Both the Republicans and The Record are no longer relevant.
Time to clean house Rabbit and Ed. You have my support.
Jim,
Just a thought for you, when you lay with dogs, you wake up with fleas!
Premo's request on Christmas Eve is only the first step in exposing the truth about the voter fraud and the truth about the malicious prosecution.
The only thing Rabbit got cleaned was his clock. That ship has sailed. And McDonough owes his job to Wade. Up next, the FBI and their investigation. The last verse has yet to be sung! No plea deal is safe when J. Edgar's boys come calling.
Has this died after the verdict?
no posts in 2 weeks - did Franco retire?
Boy there coming out of the wood work to run in distric 1. Not going to be Frank or Gordon this time. Kevin McGrath won't make it threw a primary with the names that are being talked about. Wade has done his home work this time and I can tell you that the people that have shown interest in being on the council and truly represent distric 1 could also win at large as well. Wade will remove all distractions from the city of Troy Democratic Party this year. Say good bye to Kenny Z, Nina, Rodney, and Kevin McGrath in 2013.
these people steal your votes and they go laughing all the way to the bank... This county makes afgan look good...
