Lehigh County judicial candidate Doug Reichley, a former assistant DA in Lehigh County and Philadelphia, has garnered the endorsement of three law enorcement organizations.Harry R. Dannehower, III, President, FOP Lodge 40, Joseph J. Haggerty Memorial Lodge: "We are confident Doug Reichley will continue to work to ensure the safety and well-being of those who live and work in the Lehigh Valley. We offer our support and voice as he seeks to become a Judge in Lehigh County. We are proud to announce the endorsement of Doug Reichley.”
Bruce A. Edwards, President, PA State Troopers Association: “Your experience as an Assistant District Attorney in Lehigh and Philadelphia counties, your years of service in the Pennsylvania House of Representative as a leading advocate for criminal justice legislation and your strong work ethic are qualities important to our members. I am privileged to inform you that our members have unanimously endorsed your candidacy for election as judge … .”
Gene Hatcher, President, Le-Hampton FOP Lodge 35. “Doug’s past and present contribution to our community, as a former Assistant District Attorney and current Legislator, have served the citizens of Lehigh County well. Therefore, FOP Lodge 35 FOP strongly recommends Doug Reichley for Judge.”
Reichley, of course, is “extremely proud to have earned the support of these respected law enforcement organizations, and am happy to have worked with our police to serve and protect the people of Lehigh County.”
Reichley is running for the seat being vacated by Judge William Platt. Lehigh County Commissioner Dan McCarthy, Assistant DA A. Renee Smith and Melissa Pavlack are seeking that judgeship as well. All four candidates have cross-filed.
Reichley Rules!
ReplyDeletehow many cases did he serve when he was actually a lawyer?
ReplyDeleteGreat, cops endorsing a Judge candidate. So much for presumption of innocence.
ReplyDelete"how many cases did he serve when he was actually a lawyer?"
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what you are asking. If you are asking about jury trials, Reichley tried 70 cases to verdict, according to a previous news release. All 4 candidates are well-qualified.
what does he mean by "broad based" experience? Is he another cunningham? no wife in the picture. Is that what the "broad" is about?
ReplyDeletehow many out of the 70 did he win? what were the cases about. vague statistic
ReplyDeleteI'm not here to manage Reicjley's campaign, ans as I said, there are 4 qualified candidates. The question was how many cases did Reichley "serve," whatever than means. I know from his previous release that he tried 70 to verdict, and since these were as a prosecutor, I am certain he won almost all of them. But losing lawyers gain experience, too, so your question is unfair.
ReplyDeleteAs for marital situations, around half of all marriages end in divorce. I do not consider it a reflection of character or temperament. I get that you don't like Reichley, but if you want to attack him, and do it anonymously, you just debase yourself, as well as his three opponents. I doubt that any of those three would appreciate your anonymous slurs.
Just deleted several paragraphs of personal attacks from the anonymous coward. There was one good question, which asks why I am not running news releases for the other judicial candidates. The answer to that is simple. I have not rec'd any from the others, and if I do, I will post them.
ReplyDeleteOne would hope that someone with more years of actual trial experience would win this race
ReplyDeleteWhat happened with his job as Lehigh County Assistant District Attorney? Why did he go to Philadelphia? There must be a story there.
ReplyDeleteWhy not ask him? I did.
ReplyDeleteWhy is the judicial system stack with inside guys?
ReplyDeleteFully Informed Jury Association FIJA
Juries are the last line in the determination of whether or not laws are just and Jurors are often incorrectly told by judges that if circumstances are met they must vote one way. A juror is free to vote however he feels fit.
