When Will They Leave Martin Tankleff Alone?

First they convict him for a crime he did not commit, then he spends 17 years in prison before being released; now they put Marty's life on hold by their flim flop actions:

Though the court overturned his convictions, it left standing the original indictments in the 1988 murders. At first the Suffolk County district attorney, Thomas J. Spota, indicated that Mr. Tankleff would be retried; he later announced that the charges would be dropped.

Then the New York State attorney general, Andrew M. Cuomo, was appointed as a special prosecutor to reinvestigate the case, a move that kept the indictments open. He is expected to announce on June 16 whether Mr. Tankleff should be prosecuted again.


Enough is enough; let Martin Tankleff get on with his life.
