Urella Opposed Reinstalling a Wiretap in Probe
Former State Police Commissioner Rocco P. Urella says he opposed re installing a wiretap on a state official telephone as illegal and unlikely to aid the case. He noted the device was not immediately turned over to state police and said keeping it could imply it might be used again. Urella testified to a House investigating committee in Harrisburg about the Kapleau phone discovery and governance on law enforcement.
