Dan Talbot murder trial 5 Feb 2010: Sentencing and a rude, unprofessional response from DA Dan Conley "I don't have to talk to anybody."

By Christopher King

I have complimented Dan Conley's office when they did a good job (Stroman) and I have repeatedly said that both lead counsel (Prosecutor Zabin and Defense counsel Peter Krupp) in this case "performed admirably," but apparently that's not enough for DA Dan Conley. No Sir. So he refuses to talk to me because he doesn't like me airing dirty LE laundry as I did with the 34 Dan Talbot murder trial videos and daily commentary about the trial. Such coverage included some possible Appellate issues and questions about why known repeat criminal Michael Picardi was not charged, even though he was admittedly the mastermind in destroying the murder weapon, see numbered para. 1.

Dear Attorney Conley: You indicated you wouldn't talk to me even after I get the press credentials. Suit yourself, if you want to show up on YouTube videos being a jerk the rest of your life, I will be more than happy to help you with that. "Am I a credentialed journalist?" Fool I've been a daily reporter years ago and I'm credentialed enough to have run the most complete coverage of ANY MEDIA of this trial, so there you go. I've never even bothered with the credential process here in Mass because if someone has a Good Heart and integrity as a public official, they don't bother playing games like that. But you Sir, showed your true colors today.

And so too, did Jake Wark, whom I have previously complimented. What did he think the camera wasn't rolling when he was laughing at his boss disrespecting me? Until your attitude improves, screw both of you, as you are acting no better than the blokes and lassies out there behind the schoolyard, damn your time. Damn your time, wasting my tax dollars with your down presser man attitudes. Wow, you suck.

I don't know who you think you are, Mr. Conley but don't you ever put your finger in my face again, are we clear? My father doesn't do that, so I will be goddamn if I let some strange white man from Boston do it, to hell with you.

In another video that is uploading folks will note that Patty Talbot and I exchange pleasantries. I'm cool with her, and I'm all right with Officer Talbot's brother Paul, we have had respectful exchanges on several occasions, especially when they asked about the autopsy photos that I have a policy never to publish. And whether any of you haters can appreciate this or not, I have not said one bad word about Officer Talbot other than what he and the others were engaged in on that fateful night, so stuff it. And that means you too, Attorney Conley. See you at the next trial.

Now then on to the sentencing and victim comments and statements from counsel:
Defendant Iacoviello has about 200 days left on his successive sentence for the weapons charge, then 15-life at the discretion of the parole board.
Defendant Heang will get 3-6, typed statements coming later tonight or over the weekend in this same post.

But to me, the Real Story is the contempt that DA Dan Conley showed a taxpayer and resident of the Commonwealth and former AAG today. KingCast is only going to get bigger, stronger and better, so we're in for some hellified videos if he maintains that attitude. Get your popcorn.
