The Intell carried an extensive op-ed entitled ” A wrongful prosecution” by attorney Ira Wagler suggesting prosecutorial excess on the part Attorney General Tom Corbett’s office in regards to the prosecution and conviction of Levi Stoltzfoos.
WATCHDOG: Kudos to the Intell for publishing the column.
As we have seen nationally and on the local level, too often law enforcement officials lose sight of the object of the law and seek convictions, no matter what harm they are doing to the individual and the spirit of the law. The Stoltzfoos conviction and sentencing seems to be such a case.
