Fayette Searchlight

Today, December 12, 2015, the sealed status of the 5th Presentment from Fayette County Grand Jury No. 2 reaches one year in length.

Time is running out on outgoing Fayette County District Attorney Jack R. Heneks, Jr., to unseal the 5th Presentment, let alone to prosecute the case.

While the prosecutions of individuals named in unsealed presentments proceed apace, in his charge from the investigating grand jury, Fayette County District Attorney Jack R. Heneks, Jr., has failed utterly to indict, arrest, arraign and prosecute the individual named in the 5th Presentment within the time span of one calendar year from its sealing on December 12, 2014.

It is virtually unheard of that a Pennsylvania district attorney fails to follow the recommendation of a grand jury to issue an indictment.  Let no mistake be made; the failure of DA Heneks to unseal the 5th Presentment before he leaves office as Fayette County district attorney is of historical import. His abject failure to unseal the 5th Presentment coincides with his blatant failure to conduct a mandatory investigation [as required by law -- 25 P.S. § 2642(i)] of the 3rd Referral of the Fayette County Election Board -- allegations of election fraud against State Rep. Timothy S. Mahoney (D-51) forwarded for investigation by the unanimous vote of the Fayette County Election Board to the Office of the Fayette County District Attorney on May 24, 2012.

Heneks' camouflage of the 3rd Referral in his Application to impanel a grand jury, Heneks' refusal to recuse himself from all three election-related referrals due to his conflicts (see: Mahoney Pushed For Grand Jury 20121030, Heneks' political relationship with Mahoney, and Heneks' campaign contribution from Mahoney), and Heneks' failure to investigate and to prosecute the 3rd Referral (while prosecuting de minimus violations of the Pennsylvania Election Code) are such putrid injustices that they surely rank very high up on the list of the worst miscarriages of justice in the annals of Pennsylvania jurisprudence.

The only comfort that Fayette County citizens can take from outgoing Fayette County District Attorney Jack R. Heneks, Jr., and his "management" of Fayette County Grand Jury No. 2 is that "outgoing" precedes the name of this dastardly and derelict DA.

On January 4, 2016, at long last, the night of his terrible, tyrannical tenure as Fayette County district attorney will come to an end.
