Messsage: Tony as gentle, generous man victimized by Democrats
MINNEAPOLIS – A group identifying itself as “friends of Tony” posted detailed arguments online attesting to Tiny Lazzaro’s innocence to sex crime that the federal government has alleged. The post came on the eve of Lazzaro’s rial, which could send him to prison for 10 years to life. He now is 32. The lengthy post includes:
“Tony Lazzaro is NOT a Sex Trafficker. Nor should he have ever been indicted for Federal Sex Trafficking. But due to an overzealous politically-motivated prosecutor, he has been locked up for over 18 Months. And the Feds are trying to send him to Federal Prison for 10-Years-to-Life. We are friends of Tony who have developed this website to share the TRUE FACTS of this incredibly unusual and corrupt indictment.”
The post appears at antonlazzaro.com. Among his attorneys is oublicrelations spesialist Stacy Bettison. Among points in the post:
> Federal sex-trafficking case generally have these components: Force, fraud, threats or coercion. “Lazzaro’s case has none of these, and cannot be compared to any other sex-trafficking case in U.S. history.”
> The Feds put a target on Lazzaro’s’s back. The lead prosecutor, Laura Provinzino, has donated more money to Democrat political causes the kast 10 years than all other Minnesota federal prosecutors combined. Procinzio leaked the story of the arrest to the Daily Beast “left-wing political blog” before any local media had even reported on the story.
> Lazzro has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to charities, GoFundMe, those in need, and political causes. “He does so because that’s who he is. He has never sought any favors from any politicians or anyone. Tony’s generosity has touched the lives of literally hundreds of people (and pets!).”
