Wecht left politics in 1984 after serving four years as a county commissioner, during which time he ran unsuccessfully for U.S. Senate. He has said legal wrangling and five lawsuits filed over the theft allegations harmed his career until late 1992, when he reached a $200,000 settlement with the county.
THANKS A LOT KAREN RUSSO!!!! I'd like to know what the reason for sending my brother's body to Wecht for a second autopsy. He wouldn't answer one single question and I hold you responsible!
Hollis, who also worked as a private employee for Wecht, pleaded guilty on Jan. 3, 2007, to the tax evasion and false statements charges and pleaded guilty to a charge of theft from an organization receiving federal funds. He resigned in 2005 during the FBI probe of Wecht. Prosecutors claimed Hollis cost county taxpayers more than $50,000 by performing private work when he was supposed to be doing county work. ...
Former U.S. Attorney Mary Beth Buchanan charged Wecht with 84 counts of fraud and theft, accusing him of using county-paid employees and resources to benefit his private consulting business. More than half the charges were dropped before trial, and a jury in 2008 couldn't reach a verdict on the remaining 41 counts. Buchanan in June dropped an attempt to retry Wecht after U.S. District Judge Sean McLaughlin ruled that much of the evidence in the case was illegally obtained. ...
Probation granted in ex-county coroner official's tax case
By Brian Bowling
U.S. District Judge Arthur Schwab declined to add home confinement to the sentence for George Hollis, 64, of Hazelwood, saying there was no reason he should be the only person caught up in the dismissed case against former Coroner Dr. Cyril H. Wecht to suffer substantial punishment. ....
Probation granted in ex-county coroner official's tax case
By Brian Bowling
PITTSBURGH TRIBUNE-REVIEW
Saturday, March 20, 2010
A federal judge Friday sentenced the former chief histologist of the Allegheny County Coroner's Office to 12 months of probation for failing to file an income tax return and lying about private work he did on county time. ...
Karen Russo of the the Wrongful Death and Injury Institute and Cyril H. Wecht both dropped the ball regarding finding out the manner of my brother's passing. Come to find Wecht had been indicted on 84 federal felony counts and at the time back in April of 2010 this was going on with Wecht's right hand man Joseph Mancuso was sentenced on April 4, 2010 for filing false tax returns. This is just the tip of the iceberg concerning these two crooked individuals. Good guys they are not!
Back in April of 2010 I lost my younger brother who had spent 20+ years in prison. He was allegedly found hanging by the neck. I called Karen Russo and after the first autopsy was performed she recommended Cyril H. Wecht out of Pittsburgh to do a second forensic autopsy. We flew my brother all the way to Pittsburgh, per Karen Russo's recommendation and when it was all said and done, the infamous "Dr." Wecht could not answer one single question. His excuse was the distance he lived from Texas?
Is this stuff on front page newspapers when this disgusting stuff happens? Good on her for advocaating wherever there is an injustice. Crims deserve to serve their time though for their crime. We need people like Karen Russo - she is paving the way and exposing the sorts of things that are going to happen (and worse) when the roundup begins!
I love how people are unaware that many people in jail are innocent or dont belong there. The prisons are now for profit. They have caught judges guilty of making money off putting kids in jail and adults for crimes that warrant a citation. No person should have his/her freedom taken unjustly,
This is why people comitt crimes over and over and over. Becuase they don't give a shit if they go back because they know people will raise hell and bitch until the prisoners receive things that some people who have never comitted any crimes do not have. In my opinion if they are dumb enough to break to law then they deserve to be treated like a peice of S*** until they are released. The amount of tax dollars spent to maintain prison facilities is freakin rediculous.
if high treat martial law is declared they'll gas maximum security to eliminate any escape and to have free space for flow of detainees or so fema can allocate space for refugee camps
Yes but my brother is white & just as violent as any thug,also I think he desrves to be there. But I want my brother to be treated with dignity & humanity while he's in prison. I think some of the comments people have been saying,like I don't care about giving. Prisoners decent food & good health care,sickens me because I'm a Christian.
And I know Christian values founded America & I can see how distant we are from are founding values. A true Christian believes in forgivness & making sure that every one is treated with. Compassion & love no matter who they are,the bible says do un to others as they would do un to you. Love thy neighbor,it seems my fellow Americans. Have become selfish & judgemental,which goes against Christian values.
I'm formiluar with the history & I have Cherikee,in my blood! I know in history people have done cruel things in the name of. God or use God as a justification,for the most ungodley things. But its not God that did it,its man & thats the truth!
the only deputy assigned to the 100 inmate block is out on smoke break at 3am and the medical staff lolly-gagged in at a slow walk when they did finally arrive. its pretty tough to watch a man die slowly in a cage
anyone who has been locked up knows this stuff is true. the jails and prisons often contract out to the lowest bidder, to feed the inmates. they also contract out for the medical care. ive personally opened boxes of food marked "not for human consumption" in a county jail kitchen. ive eaten a mystery meat called 'mechanically seperated chicken' .....i've watched an inmate screaming that his bunkie is having a seizure and seen it take over 30 minutes for medical personel to arrive on scene.
Mechanically seperated chicken is, when a chicken that has had, say the legs and breasts removed is put in a macine that basically pulverises what is left into a paste that can then be mouled using additives into whatever shape you want. Its junk, and is basically so beefed up with saturated fats and additives shouldnt even be called chicken. Been in myself in the UK, so understand where youre coming from mate.
i am not an organ donor because a someone i know was taken off life support after a car accident because he was a donor. his family was therre to save him, thank goodness. but that was 25-30 years ago
She snapped me into reality when she said "guess who is in the back washing your dishes". Yikes. We can all be affected by whatever the do to them inside the walls.
Unbelievable inhuman treatment. It's like prisons role is to make sure that these inmates understand that society doesn't give a fuck about them and they should feel free to strike back as soon as they are free again.
