Candidates, Judge Seek Tape Of Prosecutor Forum
July 28, 2016 at 4:25 p.m.
Two prosecutor candidates and a county judge requested copies of the tape of the prosecutor's forum Tuesday night.
A Syracuse radio station taped the two-hour forum, and is reportedly making copies for the three men.
Daniel Hampton said he asked for a copy of the tape and is having it transcribed.
"We hope to print portions of it so voters can stand informed," Hampton said. He said if it can be transcribed before the election, he plans to print parts of the speeches in advertisements.
"We want to present the facts of what happened [at the forum]," Hampton said.
Kosciusko Superior Court 3 Judge Joe Sutton also requested a segment of the tape.
Sutton attended the forum and said he asked for a segment of the tape when incumbent prosecutor David Kolbe spoke.
"I want to review David Kolbe's allegation of wrongdoing by a judge," Sutton said.
Sutton said Kolbe mentioned possible misdeeds by area law enforcement and a judge, but Sutton and other listeners at the forum could not remember the exact words Kolbe used.
Sutton said he wants to review that portion of the tape to hear what Kolbe said and the context in which he said it.
Prosecutor candidate Charles Waggoner also requested a copy of the tape, but was unavailable for comment.
Kolbe was also unavailable for comment at press time. [[In-content Ad]]
