Pirro Might Be In More Trouble

Forget the ridiculous campaign antics, this story is far more serious than a pathetic attempt at running for office in New York. It seems that Ms Pirro might have withheld evidence in a murder trial that led to a wrongful conviction of Anthony DiSimone. Thanks to the recently revealed information that she secretly recorded work conversations as the DA for Westchester County, there might be a treasure trove of interesting stuff that went on at the office.

From The New York Sun:

That fact was disclosed in a filing in federal court in Manhattan in the course of an investigation the purpose of which is not yet fully in the public record. But the disclosures so far indicate that when Ms. Pirro left office in 2005 to run for state attorney general, she asked an investigator to destroy a box containing at least some of the tapes, an assistant district attorney in Westchester, Richard Hecht, wrote in a letter to the 2nd United States Circuit Court of Appeals.

The investigator, who is not identified in the letter, did not follow through, Mr. Hecht wrote.

One of the reasons this is of interest is that that Ms. Pirro's successor now is in possession of a tape suggesting Ms. Pirro failed to disclose evidence that could have helped a man whom Ms. Pirro subsequently charged with murder. But the existence of any tapes immediately raises the question of whom Ms. Pirro was talking to over her years in office and what conversations, whether of a political or legal nature, might be recorded in the surviving tapes.

Pirro has dealt with a few shady characters and is probably one herself. These recordings must be shown the light of day so the truth can come out as to what she knew about the Anthony DiSimone case and possibly others as well. This old crime-fighter might just be a criminal herself.
