Boston Globe: The resignation of LaDonna J. Hatton as undersecretary of
forensic sciences comes amid four investigations into the alleged
mishandling of DNA test results in about two dozen unsolved sexual
assault cases at the crime lab and another inquiry into the
disappearance of a body from the medical examiner's office.

On May 3, the Patrick administration suspended Flomenbaum for
the misplacement of the body of a Cape Cod man who was mistakenly buried
in another man's grave and had to be exhumed .
The State Police investigation has found several kinds of
problems, including that Pino told law enforcement officials about 13
positive DNA matches in unsolved sexual assault cases after the statute
of limitations had expired, too late for the cases to be prosecuted.
In
another eight cases, the statute expired because the lab took too long
to check DNA from the crime scenes against samples in the database,
according to a State Police affidavit filed in February.

LaDonna
J. Hatton replaced Mike McGlynn's first cousin, Johnny Granara, (who was
Special Counsel for the crooked Sheriff Jimmy DiPaola) when Peter Koutoujian took over.
She is "Chief Legal Counsel."
Granara was law partner of my dear, dear friend David P. Skerry, but don't hold that against old Johnny! Mr. Skerry became Johnny's brother-in-law which begs the question, can one get a divorce from a brother-in-law?

DiPaola
campaigned that he wouldn't accept patronage, yet - allegedly - he was
"selling stripes" (as in, you can be a lieutenant or get another hack
job, not on merit, but on payment,) for - and this is from multiple
sources that are all highly credible - $5,000.00, $10,000.00,
$15,000.00.
Reportedly.
How does someone with a criminal record get hired in the Sheriff's office?
Allegedly,
a certain individual who has attacked this editor got hired because he
paid for the job, or his well-respected daddy allegedly did. To get him
off the streets.
We're looking into that allegation as well.
File Under: DPW -
Duplicitous, Patronage, Wrong
