John Morganelli opens race for state attorney general

Northampton County District Attorney John Morganelli kicked off his campaign for state attorney general today, and the key word in his speech was "tough.''


He vowed to be tough on crime, tough on public corruption, tough on unsafe foreign products that come into Pennsylvania, tough on the current "Bonusgate'' investigation of state employees, tough on criminal gangs that makes streets unsafe and, most of all, tough on the current attorney general, Tom Corbett, who is seeking re-election.


Mr. Morganelli, who is the Democratic Party's endorsed candidate for attorney general, criticized Mr. Corbett for not appointing an independent prosecutor to find out if any of the $3.6 million in bonuses given out in 2005-06 to legislative employees was a reward for political campaign work, which would be illegal. Most of Mr. Corbett's investigation has focused on House Democrats, though no charges have been brought yet.

When our child was 7 years he revealed that he was sexually assaulted by his first grade teacher. We filed a Police report with Colonial Regional Police and than were required to meet with Detective Hammer and Morganelli’s assistant DA. In confidence and trust our son made his statement in Morganelli’s Office. A bogus investigation followed along with a conflicting police report made by Detective Gary Hammer. This confidential Police report was than distributed through the mail. According to the Northampton Schools district response they stated they got a copy from Morganelli’s Office. This confidential police report by my son and many other than 6 and 7 year old children’s statements which included their full name and address has been made public. The Teacher was transferred when Detective Hammers son was placed in her first grade pod. When we confronted Morganelli he stated his office did not distribute this report and said there is no need for an investigation on how this confidential report was made public.
Through our experience our police report was not kept confidential! Answers are still left open and the cover-up continues.
