The Woman Who Would Succeed Ted Kennedy

Ann Coulter refreshes our memory of one of the worst miscarriages of justice in American history.

And she reminds us that one of its worst actors was Martha Coakley, the Democrat nominee for the seat left vacant by the demise of Ted Kennedy.  The tale is long and chilling, and worth considering.

Gerald Amirault had been imprisoned for fifteen years for crimes that never occurred. Martha Coakley, as a district attorney, had every reason to know this was the case, and yet lobbied against his clemency petition in order to make her feminist prosecutorial 'bones'.

The man languished in prison for three years more.

Imagine this woman in the Senate...
