John Kerry - Boston College Law School

In 1973 John Kerry started as a student at Boston College Law School, Kerry maintained a public profile by being a radio talk show host on WBZ-AM. And from May to Oct. he served as director of MassAction, a watchdog group that was then attacking state treasurer Robert Q. Crane's sloppy cash management practices and cozy relationship with banks.

In Kerry's third year at law school, Professor Carey interviewed Kerry for a spot on Boston College's national moot court team. "Even though Kerry was a man with 'many irons in the fire', he committed to make the team a priority. He worked long hours. He was a outstanding member of the team, preparing briefs and oral arguments for a Supreme Court level case with very complex public policy questions", Carey recalled.

In 1976 with five months remaining in law school Kerry, became a student prosecutor in the office of Middlesex district attorney John J. Droney. And upon graduation on May 24, he accepted a full time prosecutor job in the same office. Kerry went on to win all of his cases.

"...Kerry went on to win all of his cases."

Yup, that's our man.

Kerry is the man with the plan! This man has it all from being smart to intellegent to his damn good looks!:loveya:

That is the facts! And the other facts are that during his tenure their he wiped out 7,265 cases. It doesn't make a shit how it was done the fact remains it was done and the fact remains that out of all the cases he did prosecute he did WIN! The man never lost not even one case there.

But let me add some of the other important things he did while he was there as well. Something to many people overlook getting tied up in this numbers game about how many cases he wiped out or didn't.

When Droney promoted Kerry to first assistant giving him free rein to overhaul the office he did so because he felt Kerry was more knowledgeable and was more organized than any of the others there including his loyalists. Kerry proved Droney right by all means and help Droney get re-elected. Many from the DA's office said that had it not been for Kerry that Droney would have never been re- elected including the Droney loyalist.

More importantly Kerry took a very disorganized, slow functioning, poor excuse of a DA's office and turned it in to a successful one. He took a 3.8 million infusion of federal funds he helped obtain, tripled the staff, most of those were women. He organized special units to prosecute white-collar and organized crime, programs to counsel rape victims and witnesses, and a system for fast tracking priority cases to trail. And even with all his adminastrative duties Kerry still was in the court room being the hell of a prosecutor he was. And again he NEVER NEVER lost a case he prosecuted!

The facts speak for themselves when it comes to this man's career as a prosecutor. It is not a numbers game as many make it out to be. The fact is he is one of the best wether people like and respect the man or not!

BTW, Did I mention the fact that the whole time Kerry doing all this that Droney was afflicted by Lou Gehrig's disease? And how many in the DA's office have talked about how Kerry in effect became the legs and voice that Droney never had.

Just to show he wasn't one of these fly of the night prosecutors that was always handed pie jobs.

His first felony trial was a rape case in which the defendant was represented by William Homans, a prominent Boston defense attorney. Kerry secured a guilty verdict.

He won convictions in a murder and a high-profile rape case. Robert Barton, the defense attorney in the murder case and who later became a trial judge, called Kerry "as good a trial lawter I ever saw."

Kerry also won a rape conviction and an eighteen to thirty year prison sentence for George O. Edgerly a former service manager at a Lowell auto dealership. Edgerly was later convicted of murder in another county in connection to the slaying of a General Motors executive investigating excessive warranty claims at the dealership.

That is amazing about Droney.

I didn't mean to sound nasty or sarcastic about the subject. This is a issue that has rubbed me the wrong way lately because so many people have tried to turn this into a numbers game and act as if Kerry didn't do a very successful job there or as a prosecutor and they are dead WRONG! Not you but others. And he did help out Droney a whole lot more than what people know about or those who do just conveinently leave that information out when they speak about his time there.

I think he did a great job as a prosecutor. Just can't believe he did that good, but anything is possible.

Ask Tay Tay, Whome, and Ginny. The fact is during his tenure he wiped 7,265 cases. Many of those cases were ajudicated, a number of them were dismissed due to lack of evidence, lack of witnesses, etc. But many were prosecuted and won as well. And as I said the fact remains 7,265 cases were wiped out regardless of how the hell it was done the fact is it was done! And the fact remains Kerry NEVER lost any case he ever prosecuted while in Middlesex. NEVER! That is the facts.

I think what people need to do is take a over all look at what the man did. I mean hell far the man walks into a DA's office that was a damn mess, disorganized as hell, and was backed up another words BEHIND with so much damn work some people would have screamed and ran like hell and others it would have took a hell of a lot longer to straighten it out than it did Kerry much less continue remaining in a courtroom prosecuting court cases coming up with new updated programs and systems and a way to fund them.

So as unbelievable as it may seem to you the fact is it is TRUE!!!!
When are people going to figure out when something seems impossible to others this man has always been able to do it and in most cases make it look easy and smooth. That is just the kind of man he is. That is John F. Kerry!

I believe anything is possible with God. God bless Kerry!
