This Friday, we expect the official handing off of the case from Suffolk County DA Spota to Attorney General Cuomo, and for Cuomo's office not to drop the charges against Marty as planned on Friday by Spota.
In attendance will be Marty, his family and his supporters, many of whom, we expect, will express to the media their approval of the governor's appointing of the attorney general, while questioning why on earth, after four years of it being called for, shouted for and pleaded for, the appointment had to come five days before Spota himself, of all people, was going to dismiss the charges against Marty. Not one person who ever called for a special prosecutor in this case could have imagined that the appointment's first effect would be to prolong Marty's ordeal.
We hear Judge Doyle's courtroom has many more seats than Judge Braslow's, so come on by if you're in the neighborhood.
Friday, January 18, noon
Arthur M. Cromarty Court Complex
210 Center Drive
Riverhead, NY 11901
Hon. Judge Robert W. Doyle
Justice Delayed is Justice Denied. Public Relations trumps Justice in Albany, I guess.

Why is it so hard for prosecutors to admit they are wrong? I'm glad to hear Marty is going to college to fight the good fight. I had a feeling he would want to do that.
