Fire-Alarm Mary
As I write, the press conference regarding John Mark Karr's release has just ended in Boulder. It was held, ironically enough, in the jury selection room. A few minutes into the conference, right when it became apparent that Boulder DA Mary Lacy would have to face some difficult questions in regard to her arrest and subsequent release of John Mark Karr, a fire alarm went off. Mary Lacy immediately said that perhaps the conference would have to be cancelled, and reconvened as soon as possible. Unfortunately for darling Mary Lacy, the alarm was soon dealt with, and she had to face those difficult questions after all. The above link should take you to the MSNBC video of the conference.
And reporters did ask some really brutal questions, most of which Lacy skirted rather hastily. If she couldn't skirt them, she pawned them off on her subordinates. The difficult questions must have come as quite a shock to Lacy, as she deliberately tried to seed the news pool with friendly faces, excluding such people as our local talk radio hosts Dan Caplis, Craig Silverman, and Peter Boyles, all of whom would have been distinctly unfriendly toward dear Mary Lacy. She did, however, admit complete responsibility for this major snafu in the history of the Boulder justice system. The MSNBC text story can be found here.
Yesterday, I posted Mary Lacy's e-mail address, and I will post here the e-mail I sent to her.
Mary Lacy, you have perverted justice. You have made Colorado the laughing-stock of this country. Of the world. RESIGN. You do not belong in the DA's office. You do not belong in law enforcement anywhere for any reason at any time. Go away. Oh, and thanks for helping release a pervert onto the streets of America. Thanks for the safekeeping. Next time, maybe try not to keep us so safe.
