OUSTER SUIT OPENS AGAINST PELLETIER
Boston hearings broke for the last day of Pelletier misconduct trial as a Suffolk County district attorney faces 35 extortion charges. Witnesses testified that bail in 1916 involved payments to Coakley and McCarthy and that deposits to Coakley’s accounts were used to pressure settlements. The case links Pelletier to alleged conspiracies with Coakley and others to extort from Homerson Motors, Warren Daniel, and Dorothy Tote among others. The Attorney General seeks removal or disbarment.
