Smith: Levy and Statements

smith: He apologized for two March 2013 press releases that included statements saying Levy had interfered with the investigation of child rape accusations made against a friend of his, according to The Chronicle Herald. Levy had recused himself from the case; his friend later was acquitted. Putnam County Sheriff Don Smith posted the apology to ex-county district attorney Adam Levy on the sheriff's department's website. Today, I retract these releases unequivocally and apologize for the statements contained therein, Smith said. The settlement of the case includes a payment to Levy of 150,000. These statements were untrue and I should not have made them. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
