Manhattan DA Begins New Inquiry In Brooke Astor Estate
Source: EthicsGate - U.S. Bulletin News
The Office of Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance, Jr. is not done with the Brooke Astor Estate criminal proceedings. A new investigation began Thursday, April 25, 2013, according to sources, into allegations that critical information was improperly secreted from the defense.
Legal experts agree that the only outcome is for the court to formally throw out the criminal convictions of Anthony Marshall and Francis Morrisey.
Concrete evidence had only recently been presented to the Manhattan prosecutor's office showing highly questionable activity involving an attorney, Susan Robbins, who had appeared as a witness in the criminal trial of Brooke Astor's son and former attorney. Apparently unknown to the trial judge, the Hon. A. Kirke Bartley, Jr., the defense, the jury and, possibly, even the trial prosecutors, attorney Robbins had been previously copying emails to someone inside the Manhattan District Attorney's office for many months before the initiation of any official criminal investigation. The DA's office contacted attorney Robbins, and has been carefully weighing its options, says a source, adding, "A lot of people are very unhappy with Susan Robbins."

Brooke Astor's Son not to be jailed - Question is - Who Will Be"?
Nowadays, you can't believe 99% of what we read in the news;
and only a small percentage of what we think we actually see.
Much of the press acted like a mob to rush to judge Anthony Marshall (Brooke Astor's son);
claiming he duped her into giving him control of the will when she wasn't mentally fit.
However, witnesses told a different story - if you read the stories from long ago;
they show that Brooke Astor was often of sound mind and body.

and how the Manhattan D A is opening a full (reported to be aggressive) investigation.
Additionally, the prosecutors withheld evidence provided by Susan Robbins;
who (apparently) has her own special interest in the case.
Now the Manhattan DA is looking into the skullduggery;
and a conviction of Anthony Marshall is about to be tossed.
