 A lawsuit filed on behalf of Luzerne County District Attorney Peter Paul &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Olszewski Jr. says he has monitored untruths broadcast by radio talk show
host &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Fred W. VopperThe district attorney's 19-page civil complaint against
Vopper cites some examples. Others, the suit says, are attached as exhibits. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Excerpts of what the paperwork says Vopper said about the district
attorney: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Jan. 30. "(He) makes deals so sexual predators, perverts, people who
destroy the psyche of little children get a slap on the wrist and work
release." &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Jan. 30. "And he's talking about it's going to be good to keep an eye on
child molesters and molesters of children, when he makes deals, he puts in the
fix, he arranges special deals along with the Judge Brominski to have a
pervert that should have gone to jail for 30 years gets less than 2 years with
work release. ...He don't care about molested children or he would have put
this one pervert in jail for 30 years." &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Dec. 8. "Peter Paul Olszewski, Jr. is guilty of theft of services. He had
no intention to pay back the county. He made 25 phone calls. He called home.
He called a pizza shop, a car store, a golf store, then he made one call to a
golf pro shop and several calls home and he called a golf shop and home. 25
calls....But Peter Paul Olszewski, ladies and gentlemen, theft of services
from the District Attorney if he didn't pay that bill as we speak. ...PP phone
home." &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Dec. 8. "...let's say I go back to my office and I call long distance to my
children, to my friends in California, I call my friends here and I run up a
bill of $300-$400. My company has to pay that bill. I'm guilty of theft of
services. Not only can you be arrested for that, you can go to jail. So here
we have the highest law enforcement in the land, PP Phone Home Olszewski, is
guilty of theft of services. He stole, he stole the cost of those calls and
placed it on the taxpayer." &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Jan. 30. "...In my heart of hearts, I don't believe the citizens of Luzerne
County, I know overwhelmingly registered democratic, would vote for Peter Paul
Olszewski because quite frankly, he's incompetent. He's guilty of misfeasance
and malfeasance in office. And I can't believe that anybody would vote for a
person with that kind of record." &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 "...Do you think for a minute that Peter Paul Olszewski is not beholding to
the political and the financial powers that crowned him king in 1992? ...The
system is so tainted with corruption, it's pathetic. It's not only the
Olszewskis of the world. It's all over America." &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 "He plea bargains homicide by vehicle DUI cases to a couple of weekends in
jail. He makes deals so sexual predators, perverts, people who destroy the
delicate psyche of little children get a slap on the wrist and work release." &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Dec. 8. "...He's never going to be a judge in this county. He's
incompetent. he's guilty of misfeasance and malfeasance in office." &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 July 21. "The cast of characters are so enumerable. Uh, Peter Paul
Clueseau, the first task force, the keystone cops under the direction of
Lieutenant Joe Marut, the first autopsy botched by Dr. Matthew Cowen who knows
nothing about forensic pathology." &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Feb. 30. "And Dr. Fred Zurgabee, one (of) the foremost forensic
pathologists in the world in Rockland County, and that stupid District
Attorney sent somebody to investigate the doctor never knowing that there was
a Frederick Zurgabee that happened to be his son who is a cardiologist. So,
in, in essence, it can truly be said that Peter Paul Olszewski hindered the
investigation of Bob Curley's murder." &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 "And this guy wants to be a judge. This guy couldn't be dog catcher in my
book. It's, it's, it's terrible. It's absolutely terrible." &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 July 24. "But he never wanted that case to leave this county because it
would add to another medal on his lapel that he solved the Curley case..." &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 July 28. "And (Times Leader Editor) Allison Walzer believes that Peter Paul
is bound by high ethical standards. He wouldn't know high ethical standards if
it walked up to him and slapped him in the face..." &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 July 16. "Why did Peter Paul Olszewski agree to a plea bargain? (in the
Curley case) ...Historically, its been bizarre with attorney haggling with
attorney during plea bargain sessions that quite often lead to guilty plea to
a lesser charge and as a result a very lighter sentence. Enter Luzerne County
District Attorney Peter Paul Olszewski. Enter the supermarket where the price
you see is the price you pay. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 "Olszewski says that from now on any haggling will occur over the less
serious charges after the Defendant agrees to plead guilty to the most serious
charge. This new policy will apply in most criminal cases and virtually every
drug case. Something we have preached from day one is a Defendant has no right
to a plea agreement. He only has a right to trial. We're in the business of
effectively prosecuting criminal cases. We are not in the business of working
out plea bargains. He's a liar. A scum liar." &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 "We have a District Attorney since 1992, (who) has proven conclusively to
me that he doesn't know his ass from first base." &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 "...Here's a quote out of the mouth of Peter Paul Olszewski ladies and
gentlemen. May 31, 1992. You see the way you kill these politicians is with
their own words. I don't have to make up any stories about this idiot. His own
words will kill him politically." &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 July 23 "...And by the way, when I checked this morning, the door swung
both ways out front. In and out. If the DA has a problem with what I've been
saying about him, let him come over here. Let him come to me. His pattern is
to go over to the Citizens' Voice and raise hell with the publisher and scream
of things that are published in that newspaper. Over at the Times Leader, as
soon as you go in the front door they're all bent over ready to kiss his ass
because he did them a big favor in the Wolsieffer case preventing many of them
from going to jail on the wiretap charge..." &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 July 23 "...Has Fred Williams ever said an untruth about you? What that
he's not competent to be a District Attorney; that he plea bargains homicide
by vehicle DUI out the back door; changes around the charges; that he plea
