From the article, "Attorneys for 51st District candidates to file motions over false statement allegations," Herald-Standard, Nov. 2, 2018, we find these little gems.
Turturice said other than being a paid consultant for a short time, Dowling has never been involved with the transactions of the business in terms of making contracts, paying bills, writing checks or depositing money.
But Davis contended Thursday that bankruptcy filings for the funeral home list Dowling as the funeral home’s chief operating officer.
“He likes you to think he was just a hand-shaker,” Davis said of Dowling.
Let's hone in on the unquoted statement written by Mark Hoffman and ascribed to Mahoney attorney James T. Davis (above in bold).
"But Davis contended Thursday that bankruptcy filings for the funeral home list Dowling as the funeral home's chief operating officer."
This is a true statement. However, this is not a truth statement.
Analysis: As an attorney, James T. Davis can contend all he likes for his client, however, his contentions do not necessarily equate to blanket truth. If Dowling were listed in the bankruptcy filing (i.e., not filings plural) as the funeral home's chief operating officer, then questions about whether Dowling knew about alleged criminal fraud at the Kezmarsky Funeral Home would be valid questions, and Davis would not have to contend about anything at all (now would he?) as it pertained to Dowling's role at the funeral home.
However, as addressed by Dowling's attorney above and by Dowling here, this question has already been answered by Dowling. The extent to which bankruptcy filings (plural) list Dowling as the funeral home's chief operating officer ends at Dowling's proposed business plan.
In the event the business proposal and the bid by investors to take over the business were successful, Dowling would have been running funeral home operations.
If the H-S reporter were doing his job, his follow-up question to Davis would have been "Which filing or filings, specifically, list Matthew Dowling as chief operating officer of the Kezmarsky Funeral Home?"
That this question was not asked demonstrates journalistic malpractice.
""He likes you to think he was just a hand-shaker," Davis said of Dowling."
Davis' statement here can be reversed. Mahoney and his attorney James T. Davis like you to think Dowling was more than just a hand-shaker. For his campaign's part, Mahoney likes the electorate to think Dowling was involved in or knew about the alleged fraud.
In his interview on WMBS on Thursday with Phil Michael in a paid political ad, Mahoney disgracefully yammered on about Dowling listed as a chief operating officer for the funeral home -- a property Mahoney admitted on-air that he had designs on purchasing -- and how Dowling had better be concerned about the DA.
This innuendo and drivel is from a man alleged to have committed election frauds and multiple perjuries in the most brazen case of alleged election fraud ever perpetrated against the electorate of Fayette County -- which DA Heneks and DA Bower refused/refuse to investigate, though they were/are mandated by law to do so, and though Mahoney is yet subject to investigation and prosecution for his alleged crimes.
