Chuck on the Latest Attempt to Deny His Rights

As provided under the 5th, 6th, and 14th amendment to the United States Constitution as well as Article 11 of the Declaration of Human Rights, all persons have a right to be presumed innocent unless found guilty by a jury of their peers. However, the release of two pictures as “evidence of his guilt” to the media by US Attorney Sullivan almost immediately after Councilor Turner’s arrest is proof to him that the US Attorney’s strategy is to have the media find him guilty in the court of public opinion, thus creating the presumption of guilt in the minds of jurors and even potential witnesses.    Councilor Turner believes that by signing the protective (gag) order, he would be giving the opportunity to US Attorney’s Office to continue to leak alleged evidence to the press without any threat or challenge.  The government has already violated their “protective order” by indiscriminately releasing information as it sees fit. Councilor Turner believes neither he nor the court should aid US Attorney Sullivan’s attempt to subvert his legal responsibilities.  

His legal team is now working on an opposition to the US Attorney’s motion for a protective order. It will be filed with the Court shortly. For further information, please contact Attorney Michelle Brennan of the Law Office of Barry P. Wilson (617-248-8979) or Attorney John Pavlos of the firm of Pavlos and Vitali (508-894-0051). Councilor Turner is not available for comment on this release.
