Getting truth on Bishop

Boston Globe ^

The Amy Bishop debacle has gone from horrifying to humiliating over the past week - and it’s getting worse by the day. Amid the cacophony and the finger-pointing, somebody needs to play the role of the adult. Braintree and State Police were corrupt, or incompetent, or perhaps both, when they let Bishop walk completely free after she shot her younger brother in the chest in 1986 and ran around town with a shotgun under her arm. Now that Bishop has allegedly killed three of her colleagues at the University of Alabama and critically wounded two others, an embarrassing blame-game is unfolding in our midst.

So I’ll repeat a plea I made last week: Someone needs to appoint an independent prosecutor to probe the actions - and inactions - of the Braintree police, the State Police, and the Norfolk County district attorney’s office. We need that prosecutor to instill faith in our criminal justice system, faith that is woefully lacking at the moment.

The governor last Friday said he was ordering a State Police review. Since then, that investigation has been folded into Norfolk County District Attorney William Keating’s review of the case, according to people familiar with the proceedings. We need something more than agencies investigating themselves.

If ever the need for a completely independent investigation became gin clear, it was on Monday, when William Delahunt, the district attorney in 1986, and now a United States congressman, broke his long silence to - drumroll here, please - blame the Braintree police.

Specifically, he was blaming Braintree PD for not providing state investigators with police reports that detailed how Bishop pointed her shotgun at a worker at an auto dealership after shooting her brother. Those reports also detailed that Bishop was holding the loaded shotgun when she was captured.....

Apparently, if you have a Harvard degree, you can do anything you want. Just ask the White House.

I’m not sure if this video has been posted before. It makes a point I’ve wondered about. How is it the mother of an adult is allowed to walk into an interview with a suspect, tell that suspect not to say anymore and demand of police that she not be asked any further questions?

The article goes into some detail of the mail bombing investigation. The Bishop’s refused LE (armed with a search warrant) entry into their home forcing them to break a window to enter, they refused to take a polygraph, they refused them consent to search an out building on the property.

They found items like those used in constructing the mail bomb in the house, receipts for radio shack & the business card for a bait and tackle shop that advertised black powder for sale. They weren’t able to tie the items found to the bomb itself.

It sounds like they took the case to a grand jury, but they weren’t able to secure an indictment.

Just think, when she killed her brother....if they had properly investigated the killing and evaluated the shooter....it might have save 3 lives in Alabama this year.

this video below talks about Amy Bishop’s MOM

Also Amy’s Mom was on the police board and was great friends with the police chief ...
