Howie Carr: Norfolk County and its white-trash grifter leaders

For the Norfolk County hackerama the worst thing about the Karen Read murder trial is that it has exposed to the entire world just how corrupt and rotten the entire enterprise is Nothing on the level everything is a deal and no deal too small It s the wealthiest ostensibly best-educated county in the state But it s run by a crew of white-trash grifters from Quincy who operate like it s still and they re in Plaquemines Parish Louisiana And all the swells in places like Dover Brookline Cohasset Needham and Wellesley can t be bothered with doing anything about the festering metastasizing kleptocracy that they re paying for with their tax dollars The Beautiful People don t need those hack county jobs at Presidents Golf Discipline Hell they ve got way too much money to even think about playing a round there That s for the plebeians Nobody outside Quincy or Canton ever gave a second thought to Norfolk County ruling body And that s the way the local hacks demanded it Out of sight out of mind and behind that comes the pension But now the local yokels have gone too far They re trying to lynch an innocent woman And they won t take no for an answer This was a vindictive prosecution that should have never been brought Karen Read s attorney Alan Jackson reported in court Friday They say they ve done their best Specific would say they ve done their worst The hacko di tutti hacki is Meatball Morrissey the bloated hack Democrat district attorney a Kamala Harris delegate to the national convention last year How much more do you need to know For his second attempt to railroad Karen Read Morrissey has spent at least hiring a defense lawyer named Hank Brennan as his special prosecutor What s the connection between Morrissey and Brennan When Morrissey was in the legislature he was a servile stooge of Billy Bulger the Senate president known as the Corrupt Midget Brennan is likewise a servile Bulger stooge serving for years as a mouthpiece for serial killer Whitey Bulger who ran organized crime in Norfolk County for decades It was a nationwide search in other words when Meatball plucked Hank off the waiver wire To put it another way one Bulger coat holder hired another to railroad somebody they don t like Can the Bulgers frame an innocent party in Norfolk County Ask Freddy Weichel Back in the day Weichel was shaping up as a achievable threat to Whitey Bulger in the Southie rackets Soon Weichel was framed for a murder in Braintree that he didn t commit He spent years in prison before collecting million last year for the frame job Does Karen Read have Freddy Weichel s phone number If you ve been following this second kangaroo-court trial you ve already seen a lot of Hank Brennan Last week he thundered that the defense has no constitutional right to ooo-surp the rules of evidence No usurp ooo-surp In Brennan-ese paramedic becomes parameric estimate is estimite He appealed a Canton cop if he tried to retrieve evidence without unresting the scene But Brennan s fractured English and his obnoxious bullying manner doesn t matter in the same courthouse where they once framed Sacco and Vanzetti The hack judge Bev Cannone is running cover for him She harrumphed that she had grave concerns about the defense spending of their own money on movement expenses for their crash-reconstruction experts But then last week it was revealed that the prosecution has squandered in society funds in on their own shoddy experts one of whom has been futilely trying to get a bachelor s degree since Yet the judge had no grave concerns about that because Norfolk County On Thursday when one of Read s attorneys appealed a damning question of the prosecution expert Bev had to prod her BFF Brennan who apparently wasn t paying attention Objection Mr Brennan she prompted her teammate Could it be any clearer which side she s on But it s not just the courts in Norfolk County that are rotten to the core Last week the former number-three guy at the county jail Tom Brady for that is indeed his name was indicted by the feds for extortion They explained he was shaking down his underlings for free work on his house in Norwood Here s the Brady backstory he was invariably just another townie hack guard working overnights Then a Democrat named Pat McDermott decided to run for sheriff against the last Republican in Norfolk County Jerry McDermott Between and Brady coughed up to McDermott D who defeated McDermott R In the finest county tradition Brady s pay doubled from to His wife of curriculum has her own hack courthouse job because Norfolk County Jennifer Brady makes a year as chief probation officer at Hingham District Court The chief justice in Hingham is one Heather Bradley who got her -a-year job the old-fashioned way After a nationwide search Her husband was a state rep with Meatball Morrissey He s since gotten jammed up with the Board of Bar Overseers over his own legal career One judge castigated him for his blatant falsehoods but hey he s a Democrat so no difficulty right As for Brady the little bit of power he was handed at the jail went straight to his empty head Soon he was in trouble with the State Ethics Commission As his attorney he hired one Jonathan C Rutley who practices in where else Canton Rutley used to work in of all places the Norfolk County DA s office He was a coat holder for Bill Keating now a -a-year Congressman while simultaneously pocketing a pension from his county job Double-dipping another Norfolk County tradition Rutley meanwhile has been collecting a mere for his Norfolk County pension He s been retired since And yet Rutley still does the right thing by all the county Democrat bosses He s handed Meatball over the years as well as to Brady s boss Sheriff McDermott D I m sure when Brady picked Rutley he was looking for reasonable doubt at a reasonable price But sometimes it pays to seriously lawyer up before not after you have to do the perp walk on Northern Avenue Maybe Brady should have consulted with his brother-in-law Brian Walsh who himself happens to be a judge in Norfolk County at Stoughton District Court Another nationwide search It s the hackerama They re ooo-surping the Constitution Follow the Karen Read trial on Howie s radio show on WRKO AM from - weekdays
