Dannelly Believes:
Politicians Unknowingly
Become Involved In Crime
By Angela Chamber*
Special To The Post
Abscam. Watergate.
Vote buying and bribery.'
These are Just a few names
and activities linked to
scandalous activities on the
political level. It seems
that public figures accused
of crimes have been in
creasing in number in
recent years.
And when an official la
accused and tried of a
particular crime, it raises
a lot of questions among
the citizenry.
Why would a public of
ficial become involved in
any activity that la less
than honest?
City Councilman Charlie
Daraielly explains a person
can unknowingly become
involved in a crime, such
as acceptance of s bribe
“It takes a technical mind
to define a bribe. Because
of this an official should
avoid taking any large con
tribution directly from an
individual or company A
contribution can be mis
construed as being a
bribe." Dannelly con
tinued, “Any contributions
should go through one of
the many Political Action
Committee (PAC)
Charlie Dannelly
.City councilman
group*."
Though a person can be
involved knowingly in cri
minal activity, there is
sometimes a case of en
trapment. “It’s sometime*
such a disguished scheme.
And a person can be
hooked.” Dannelly ex
plained, “They may not
know what’s happening.
The investigative organ
isations on the state and
national level can some
time* be questioned. What
separate* investigation
from entrapment? Doe*
the investigation party
have an actual lead to
follow? Or is It working to
“find" something ..to
catch someone?”
While the investigation of
an accused person is un
derway, the public is often
well informed of the pro
ceedings through some
form of the media. And
sometimes, Dannelly feels,
this can have a detrimen
tal affect on the person in
question.
“A lot of times an inci
dent is magnified. It's
news. Sometimes it is hard
to understand news. A per
son can be tried by the
press before actually going
to trial," Dannelly said.
Asked if corrupt activi
ties are more apt to be
focused on during an elec
tion year, Dannelly an
swered, “A particular ac
tivity may be ongoing. And
it may lead up to election
time. And Ills possible that
it may be pinpointed dur
ing an election year."
While an activity is be
ing investigated, public
opinion is voiced. Dannelly
spoke on public reaction to
any political scandal
"The public is now
astute. It is more educated
to how things are conduct
ed." He informed, "There
area lot of people rallying
behind Green. And it is

Johnson, daughter of Mr
and Mrs. Willie Johnson of

second student from the
Charlotte area to attend the
seminar.
According to Naval Aca
demy Chemistry Professor
Edward Walton, seminar
