Lt. Gov. Healey Has Wrong Answers about Judge McCann Allowing Child Rapist to “Walk”
            Now that Kerry Healey is running for Governor, she’s trying to win back the conservatives she and Mitt Romney completely alienated when they wrongly pushed Jim Rappaport aside at the Republican Convention to make room for Healey.
            She needs to appear “tough” and is therefore raising questions about the judge who let a child rapist “walk” without jail-time in Worcester County. A star reporter at the Herald, Dave Wedge, first broke the story yesterday morning and Healey immediately made her proposal in reaction.
            Healey had it right when she said that this state is “nearly isolated” in having lifetime tenure for judges. But her answer is to appoint yet another Beacon Hill commission, instead of giving the power to the citizens to take charge and elect judges as happens in 39 states. She couldn’t even accomplish that without the approval of the Legislature and the voters.
            She is standing in the way of any meaningful change as liberals like her usually do.
            We are preparing a report on this new evidence of the crisis in our state courts.

Boston Globe Ignores Judge McCann
            Although the Boston Globe was on top of the Judge McCann story last June when it reported on June 7 that the child rapist had been arrested in Tampa, it has reported nothing since the rapist, who was fighting extradition, was finally brought back to face the charges here. It obviously is considering other matters than protecting the children who were irreparably damaged by this child rapist.
