More Evidence of Case-Fixing

Lehigh County DA Jim Martin told Channel 69 that Robert LaBarre's blood alcohol was three times the legal limit on the night that Sheena Villa tragically died as a passenger in one of his drunk driving sprees.

"[I]t's certainly significantly high. I don't want to compare it to other cases because we have a lot of other cases that approach and exceed that but that's certainly too high."

Does this sound like the kind of statement a prosecutor makes when trying to hush up a case for one of his pals?

Bill Villa, father of Sheena, thinks so. According to him, Martin is "best friend to select/connected drunk drivers who kill people." And as Villa likes to tell us, "You're either with me or against me."

Alrighty then.

This is the second public statement I've found that directly contradicts Villa's assertion that the prosecution of his daughter's killer was fixed. Perhaps, just perhaps, Bill Villa has had it wrong all along.

Did DA Jim Martin Really Want to Fix the Villa Case?

"I think there will be evidence that . . . Ms. Villa cautioned LaBarre to slow down."

That's what Lehigh County DA Jim Martin told the press when Robert LaBarre, the son of a local lawyer, was arrested in the drunk driving death of Sheena Villa.

Wait a tic.

If DA Jim Martin wanted to fix this case, as Bill Villa is trying to delude everyone into thinking, why on earth would he make a statement like that? And to the press! Could it be that Villa's judgment is clouded?

Not according to Villa. DA Jim Martin is really, really one of the bad guys. "I'd like to see Jim Martin choke on a steak sandwich at Seward's and explode. I hope I haven't been too wishy-washy here ..."


There you have it.
