[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had to take AEM out of my news feed because it was raising my blood pressure.  I've left the group once before, and I think I just need to do it again.  I consider myself pretty liberal, but I'm genuinely conflicted on the CA race and that makes me a racist on AEM.  F that.

So, asking here so I don’t get pilloried. I am also conflicted about the CA race. Per someone I really trust and respect, this case with the 10 yr olds that is getting all this press, is it true that Stamos was not in fact the CA at the time? I looked up the bio of the principal and she retired from APS before Stamos was even elected CA. She was a prosecutor at that time, but was she the one who made the decision to charge those kids/how to charge them? Can anyone tell me the truth?

From an email from Libby Garvey:

5. Prosecuting Juveniles: One of the mailers accuses Theo of prosecuting 10 year-olds. Ms. Dehghani-Tafti’s accusations do not even make sense. She dug up a case from 20 years ago when Theo was not the Commonwealth Attorney, was not the Chief Deputy Commonwealth Attorney, and was not the trial prosecutor.

I was on the School Board and remember the incident. Two ten-year old boys put hand sanitizer in their teacher’s water bottle, which he drank from. The teacher thought he had been fatally poisoned The boys admitted it. They said they wanted to kill their teacher. The boys did not go to jail or prison. There was a deferred disposition on a misdemeanor, and the case was ultimately dismissed because the boys got the supervision and treatment that they needed. The case is not relevant to Theo, but even if it were, it is totally misrepresented.

This is consistent with the letter to the editor, where the principal says she regrets they couldn't "follow normal school procedures...." presumably because the teacher called the police directly. [/quote]

As little regard as I have for Tafti, it’s still shocking to me that she and her supporters have used such easily disproved accusations in order to win this race.[/quote]

+1. How on earth can someone be the CA having NEVER prosecuted a case. How can you vote for someone with ZERO prosecutorial record. Even if you don’t live Stamos, take the devil you know. We have no idea what Tafti would do.  [/quote]
