Asselta’s Crime
eCache detailed the story recently.
The forgery charge is not being used as it applies to writing according to Prosecutor Ronald Casella. I will defer to the lawyer’s opinion on this. But what about fraud? It seems like trying to secure prescribed medication by stating you work for someone you no longer do is fraud.
And why is Asselta not charged with anything?
Asselta, who was not charged by police, has said he was suffering from a severe poison ivy rash. He said he thought Landau would follow proper procedures when she called for the prescription on his behalf.
Wouldn’t the proper procedures, senator, involve you seeing a doctor? Just what did you think Landau was going to do if not commit fraud?
I re-submit that Mr. Asselta should resign. His constituents deserve better representation than this.
