On August 15, I told you that Northampton County's First Assistant Public Defender, Anthony Martino, was under an ethical cloud as a result of the possible misappropriation of money from his law firm, as well as the outright theft of client money. I followed up on August 24 with a second story, reporting that he had been suspended and listing numerous tax claims filed against him.
I was taken to task by numerous people for exposing Martino. "Things are often enough not as they first seem and this type of career damaging information should not be disseminated without certainty," huffed Jim Fiorentino, himself an attorney and Chair of Bethlehem's Planning Commission.
According to The Express Times, Martino was charged today with nine counts of theft, three counts of receiving stolen property, three counts of misapplication of entrusted funds and one count of forgery.
Is that certain enough?
Hopefully, he is not a Moravian graduate.
ReplyDeleteGood one!
ReplyDeleteWhat's wrong with Moravian?
ReplyDeleteYet another Moravian Defect heard from.
ReplyDeleteThats OK Bernie, you defended him to no end as solicitor of County Council, when he agreed with Angle.
ReplyDeleteWhat I did was defend him when Lamont McClure took it upon himself to fire Martin unilaterally, with no authority from the rest of Council. Don't ascribe positions to me that I have never taken.
ReplyDeleteMost lawyers and realators are on the integrity level as local politicians. All will sell the publics souls to the highest monetary doner.
ReplyDeleteLook at allentown and whitehall now, there is a dick measuring contest going on between both. Judging from the hoes dangling around, allentown with ms giggles and jiggles has got about the same chance as ice WATER in hell¿
