Description | Law Blog tip for prosecutors: Don’t bash the owner of a company your office is investigating in online comments in your local newspaper — even if you use a lame pseudonym.
Sal Perricone, a veteran prosecutor in the U.S. attorney’s office in New Orleans, was using the handle “Henry L. Mencken1951″ — yes, we love Mencken, but not as cover for someone else — to post nasty comments about one Fred Heebe, the co-owner of a landfill under federal investigation.
Heebe has not been accused of wrongdoing, but an executive at his River Birch landfill is charged with plotting to defraud a construction management company, according to the AP. |
