Chief defends Goldin casework Beaudette: State AG’s office is

The district attorney elected not to seek an indictment in a grand jury, which would have been the common practice, according to trial attorneys who reviewed and analyzed the case for the Times.

Blodgett’s spokesman Steve O’Connell yesterday said the office reasoned that the grand jury was not appropriate and a brief was not necessary. Hartigan did present an oral argument. “We are not appealing because we do not believe we would prevail.” O’Connell added. On Oct. 20, District Court Judge Joseph Jennings granted the defense motion to dismiss the charges against Goldin. His lawyer Bradford Keene filed an intricate, 15-page defense brief that the judge found convincing. Jennings agreed with Keene’s argument that what Goldin was doing was practicing his First Amendment right to advocate for the public by seeking “linkage” payments to mitigate the harmful effects of the developments he chose to challenge â€” Park’s Gloucester Crossing shopping center off the Route 128 extension and McNiff’s condo development on the site of the former Cape Ann Anchor and Forge Co.

The business community would also benefit from knowing that lawyers undertaking national transactions were covered by the same regulatory framework. “The first and foremost goal should be to try to achieve a more simplified and sensible framework or model law and have that applied on a co-operative basis rather than using the corporations law or a mix of other powers” to create a federal law, he said. He accepted that this was an area of law that was jealously guarded by state and territory attorneys-general. But “this is one area where I would pick a fight with my state and territory colleagues”. Mr McClelland said the previous effort to achieve a national system of regulation had come from “the big end of town”. But he said there was now much broader support within the profession for an improved system of regulation.
