With Gov. Spitzer's appointment of AG Cuomo as Special Prosecutor, it looks as though the charges against Marty will not be dropped on January 18th as planned. Cuomo told the AP that "with the new investigation barely under way, he is unlikely to make a decision by Friday on whether to have the charge dismissed as Spota planned."
What's curious, then, is the timing of the announcement, just days before DA Thomas Spota was to drop the charges. Was it a courtesy to Spota, so he wouldn't have to face the glare of another big Marty Media Day on the 18th?
What Marty gets out of it is more days under indictment, as Cuomo believes he can't look impartial if he drops the charges before doing due diligence. The silver lining is that Marty's uncertain status will ensure the public's attention and keep the pressure on Cuomo to do the right thing. The prevailing view is that Cuomo didn't have to take this on, and would have had to agree, or request, to do it. It's hard to imagine Cuomo would take this on to look bad, and he won't look good unless he drops the charges against Marty, prosecutes the obvious suspects in the Tankleff murders and gets to the bottom of why it took 19 years and had to come to this.
When is this going to end for Marty. I thought they had already stated that they would drop the charges against him. When will he finally be able to relax and enjoy his life. When will justice be served for Arlene and Seymour? I am so disgusted with Soffolk county. I feel like I need to do something to help. Please let me know. Justice will be served eventually, so please keep your spirits up,Marty and know that your parents are very, very proud of you.
Take care of yourself and NEVER give up, those disgusting bastards will get what is coming to them in this life or on Judgement day!!

Seek justice for death-row inmate Darlie Routier. If anything she deserves a new trial.
