1.Writer charges abuse of justice in the Kerik
case
by Andrew Kreig for Nieman Watchdog
The big picture
Let’s accept at face value Kerik’s admissions that he committed
crimes and disgraced himself.
Even so, Kerik was largely forbidden by pre-trial rules from protecting
his reputation from hundreds of negative news stories, many of which
alleged mob connections that the prosecution waited until after his
guilty plea to refute as unmerited. Meanwhile, my investigation reveals
that Kerik also faced enemies in the private sector who secretly
funded a smear campaign against him for advantage in various
potential business relationships and political intrigues.
More generally, abusive tactics are all too common nationally in
federal white-collar crime prosecutions. Gross abuses have occurred
in politically tainted prosecutions of former Alabama Gov. Don
Siegelman and famed Pittsburgh coroner Dr. Cyril Wecht, among
others whom I’ve been researching.
