to become Middlesex DA
DONNA PATALANO FOR MIDDLESEX D.A.
“That’s really what we’re supposed to do as prosecutors is to work in the furtherance of justice, not just get a conviction,” said Patalano, who lives in Winchester.
Seeing both sides of a case
On Sept. 4, Patalano will challenge Marian Ryan in the Democratic primary for Middlesex County District Attorney.
Ryan was widely criticized for her handling of the 2014 Jared Remy murder case and for failing to release the details of an investigative report into the case. In the 2014 election, her opponent criticized what he described as her harsh management style. With Suffolk County DA Dan Conley’s recent announcement that he will not seek re-election, and other candidates challenging incumbents in Massachusetts, Patalano says the time is ripe for new, progressive leaders to come forward.
