Citizen journalist Gary Hewson, writing at Andrew Breitbart’s BigJournalism.com.
What kind of person is Martha Coakley? Well worth your time:
“I told Michele about the myriad scandals I had uncovered, and asked if I missed something. She said to google “curling iron,” “Coakley,” “rape” and “Somerville cop.” I said I was sick just imagining what it meant, and she said, “trust me,” and hung up. It turned out to be the lead story of our series and the most powerful symbol of Coakley’s mixed career: not bringing charges against a Democrat-union connected cop who raped his 23-month old niece with a hot curling iron.What Martha Coakley could never have guessed, was that in 2010, a citizen reporter would talk to Frank Frisoli and Frank would tell him an intimate detail of the case that has never been reported until now: and here is that most important detail:
That Coakley’s office refused to consider the testimony of a 2-year old and withheld that information from the grand jury.
Coakley’s office called Larry Frisoli and told him it was not solid or credible to rely on such a young girl’s words; even the clear and uncoached words “Uncle hurt me”.
And what Coakley could also never have guessed was that this information would be public one day, when the entire world was looking at her record in January of 2010, and they could see the Curling Iron Rapist and the Fells Acres Case side by side. That is when you truly understand Martha Coakley.”

OMG! Why isn’t FOXNEWS all over this story!
Oops, there I go again … asking silly questions.
Sorry, I just can’t help myself.
