A disciplinary complaint was filed against Richard Northrup, the Delaware County DA

I have been informed that a disciplinary complaint has been filed against Delaware County District Attorney and judicial candidate Richard Northrup on the grounds that:

• he knowingly engaged in a case where he knew he was disqualified;
• knowingly proceeded in prosecution of a criminal case for the benefit of his office's employee and against the interests of the People of the State of New York;
• failed to prosecute a heinous and violent crime because the perpetrator was a close blood relative of an employee of the DA's office;
• prepared to use forged evidence at a felony criminal trial in the case that Northrup knew was fabricated that is to commence next week.

At the recent public hearing in Albany, NY before the Statewide Commission for Attorney Discipline, Monica Duffy, Chief Counsel of the Professional Conduct Committee, Appellate Division Third Judicial Department, claimed, in answer to public criticism of the Committee for non-prosecution of rampant prosecutorial misconduct, that the Committee does not engage in selective enforcement of attorney disciplinary rules and that the Committee does investigate and prosecute criminal prosecutors committing misconduct.

Evidence complained about in the just filed disciplinary complaint against Northrup is overwhelming, documentary, and should result in his disbarment.

We will see if the Committee will stick to its word and prosecute the prosecutor who knowingly and intentionally, knowing that he is disqualified, and while using falsified evidence, tried to attain a criminal conviction for political reasons.

Stay tuned.
