Judge dismisses lawsuit against former Washington County DA
Article from:Tribune-Review/Pittsburgh Tribune-Review Article date:January 31, 2009 More results for: john pettit murder

A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit by a man who claims former Washington County District Attorney John Pettit unsuccessfully tried to frame him for a double murder at a bar.

U.S. District Judge Terrence McVerry said Gerald Gregg cannot sue the former district attorney because Pettit is immune as a public official even if, as Gregg claims, his actions were "motivated by a corrupt or legal intention."

Pettit lost a re-election bid in 2007. He has acknowledged being under investigation by a federal grand jury, but has not been charged.

Gregg contends Pettit and others faked evidence and manipulated witnesses in the November 2003 killings. Pettit owed one of the victims $60,000 after losing a lawsuit. Gregg was acquitted at trial.

It's still ongoing as far as I know. Seems Pettit might have tipped LoCastro off on a few issues.

It's like the Soparano's retarded cousin version
