State Rep. Mike Lawlor and State Senator Andrew Mcdonald have been at the forefront of trying to abolish the death penalty in Connecticut. These two individuals in particular are responsible for making the death penalty so unworkable in Connecticut to begin with. Lawlor in particular seems to feel that counseling works best with most violent criminals. Sadly, it is the taxpayers that pay for this needless counseling (in most cases these people offend again) and our public is endangered. Sadly, these two may think they are helping Connecticut but in reality they are hurting us. They need to be voted out.
Who would ever have thought that well known Connecticut Defense Attorney John Williams who defended Black Panthers as well as Puerto Rican Nationalist Group Los Machetoros would go against Jan Smolinksi. It seems that Williams is hired by the school busing company that employs Billy Smolinski's former girlfriend. The same ex-girlfriend who has been videotaped tearing down missing person fliers of Billy. The same person who managed to get Jan Smolinski arrested by Woodbridge Police. If Bill's ex-girlfriend is not in any way responsible for his disappearance, tearing down missing person fliers sure makes one look suspicious. Now, the lawsuit also targets The Waterbury Observer and Billy's sister, Paula. It's been alleged that Williams knows this case can't be won but that the legal fees alone could seriously financially damage the Smolinski family and the Waterbury Observer newspaper. Williams has asked for a settlement in what amounts to legalized extortion. John Williams had a final demand at $25,000 for Billy's ex-girlfriend and $5000 for B and B Transportation. And we all know that Williams will be getting a nice cut out of it. According to the Waterbury Observer a case could cost the paper and the Smolinski family anywhere between fifty to a hundred thousand dollars. Wow. All just for hanging up a few fliers. Well, John Williams, I guess going after a grandmother is much easier than the police departments that help screw up
this case to begin with..... If you want to see John William's website please visit here. You'll notice how the site mentions that Williams proudly defended Lorne Acquin who was convicted of killing nine people in the worst mass murder case in Connecticut's history.
