Carl And Tina Vincent Respond To Daily Times Letter By Kathy Wieland

We are writing in response to the letter in the Daily Times by Kathy Wieland. As the family of Sam Vincent, we know, without a doubt, that Sam did not respect or admire Seth Mitchell and would never have supported Seth's candidacy. This is well known by his family and his co-workers. Kathy asked Jill to endorse Seth before she moved from the area and she declined. Seth Mitchell said to Carl in a recent phone conversation that he had heard from Kathy Wieland that Jill had voted for Seth in the primary. We contacted Jill and she confirmed that it was untrue. We contacted Seth back and told him that he needed to stop saying that Jill voted for him as it was untrue and that she was not endorsing him or Matt as she continues to mourn for her husband. We told Seth that Jill wanted her name left out of the elections and asked Seth to share this with Kathy. The fact that Kathy wrote this letter shows the poor choice of ethics by Kathy and Seth Mitchell along with an attitude of doing whatever it takes to get elected. We are greatly saddened by the lies and that this is being played out in the public forum as we know it was not Jill’s wish. Unfortunately, Seth’s campaign and supporters are being untruthful for their own personal gain. We can not stand by as the good name and reputation of Sam and Jill Vincent is used in support of Seth Mitchell which is contrary to both of their wishes.

Both Sam’s co-workers in law enforcement and the State’s Attorney’s office along with the Vincent family without hesitation support Matt Maciarello for State’s Attorney.

Carl and Tina Vincent

Well said. Let's hope the Mitchell campaign will respect the wishes of Sam's family and leave them alone. However, I doubt that will happen due to the fact I am hearing very unbecoming stories from people who Mitchell has contacted that are supporting Matt. Seth if you are reading this, you need to understand this is why you aren't getting the support you desire. People despise arrogance and bullying. Clean up you act and tell your campaign to do the same. Matt is running a very honorable campaign and you should take a lesson from him.

Seth will NOT clean up his campaign. Every Assistant State's Attorney in that office despises Stet because of his blatant HISTORY of lies over the past "23 years of experience" he claims he has. He has 23 years experience as a bullsh-ter and liar and EVERYONE knows it - even you Seth. So why all the surprise here that Stet is trying to pull an "October surprise"? Well, he is getting desperate for one thing. The other is he is truly and openly showing his true self.....liar, bullsh-t artist, coniver, shyster, and what I would call a "courtroom terrorist" )always trying to blow up the case instead of truly seeking justice as he claims he is trying to do.

Yeah, Seth, we all know you, pal, and we know the difference between the integrity and unimpeachable values and morals or a Sam Vincent and the sneaky, snake-oil meanness and vinctiveness you possess.

Why in the hell would you want to work as head of an office of 28 in which all 28 people hate you and despise you? Huh? answer that you fool.

Gonna get rid of a few experienced prosecutors and bring in your "own boys"? who the hell would want to work for you? Gonna make the staff straighten out and fly right? Just how are you going to overcome the hate and anger the office feels towards you and HAS for over the "23 years of experience" you claim you have?

Seth, face it - you are a LOSER and you are going down Tuesday. I hope you will do us all a favor after Tuesday and move your lying, bullsh-t self out of Wicomico County. What a selfish jerk. Let us hear from you next Wednesday morning, OK, pal? drop us a line.

Hey Seth if you read this go crawl back under the rock you came from. Sam and Jill are well respected people who would never associate with the likes of people like you!

WHAT! The Daily Times publiushed yet another misleading article about a campaign? Say it isn't so. Mind you, it was authored by someone willing to put their name to it, much like the quotes they use in articles knowing they are lies butu defend them because someone else said it to be so.

FUNNY, at the end of ALL of the Letters to the Editor my Father In Law used to send them they would say, Art Goetz is the Father of Jennifer Albero who is suing the City of Salisbury.

What say you now Daily Times?????

Unbelievable Mr. Mitchell you and your campaign staff have hit a new low. You have alienated the other attorneys in town by your begging for $$ and now you & Ms. Wieland use the good name of the Vincents in an attempt to further your campaign. Your practice will no longer survive in this town. I feel sorry for your children & may the lord have mercy on your soul.

As much as I have to say about Seth Mitchell - well, everyone else has already said it so eloquently! I knew Sam Vincent for 10 years and I KNOW he would NEVER endorse Seth. Seth is the exact opposite of everything Sam stood for and believed in. Seth, you disgust me and are a true embarrassment to the legal community, not only in Wicomico County but everywhere. Go hang your shingle somewhere else!

As a law enforcement officer who worked many years years in investigations I can tell you Seth Mitchell worked hard while a Public Defender. He worked hard at distorting the facts. Hard at attacking hard working police officers when there was obviously no other defense due his clients guilt. I know he has a job to do. He should have been a trier of facts.

Matt you have a great obligation to keep Sam Vincent's vision alive. I must say every time I see one these post it saddens me and reminds me of a great loss.

The silver lining in this cloud is that Matt stepped up and decided to run. There is an honesty and drive that you obviously pocess. I do not see any of the bullshit that Seth has been spewing in you. Stay loyal to yourself and the community and you will have a long and honored career.

God bless you and your family. I know I will be out there on election day giving you all the support you deserve.

To the Vincent family God Bless and know that Sam is missed by all that had the pleasure of knowing him.

To Davis you have shown great poise and honor in defeat. That can not be taught. You either have it or you do not. You have it. Take care and thank you for all of your service. may God watch over you in your new journey.

Maybe we could have two of the best. Matt as DA and Davis as the assistant DA?

Matt in a LANDSLIDE!

What a pleasure it has been getting to know him. He is a quality guy - and honorable - a trait lacking in most politicians these days. BUT - that is the beauty of Matt - he isn't a politician - just a sincere, hardworking guy. He has been EVERYWHERE for the past few weeks meeting as many people as he can.

Matt is the breath of fresh air Wicomico County needs.

Go Matt!!!

I have a friend who told me he is actually going to vote for Seth! Of course, my reaction was this - "What in the world for would you vote for this character? His response was that he was a business acquaintance and said he SEEMS to be a nice guy.....HAHA HAHA HAHA. Does he have him fooled or what? Sorry, my vote is going to Matt this coming Tuesday and just hope and pray that Seth is out for good!

I knew that Seth was sour when I heard that Robinson was in the picture.

When you don't get the endorsement you want, just make one up, right W. Seth Mitchell?

Anonymous said...

Jesus, this Mitchel is smeeling up the whole county. No one knew who he was, now his name is only associated with stupid remarks, lies, crying, and unethical desicions. Not only will this guy loose, but who the heck would hire him to do legal work after this. I think this guy shot himself in the foot by running. You know what theyu say "It is better to be thought of as a fool, then to open your mouth and remove all doubt".

I support Seth Mitchell, who is best qualified to be State's Attorney for Wicomico County.
I also question why police officers want a Chief Prosecutor with very little experience in criminal law.
Is it because they don't want a State's Attorney who will require the police themselves to obey the law in making arrests, gathering evidence and testifying in Court?
Are " law enforcement officers " attacking Seth Mitchell because when they violate the law, Seth Mitchell has taken them to task?
IMO, the best way to fight crime is for representatives of " law and order " to arrest, convict and imprison criminals according to the rules established, by Our Country's Forefathers, in the Constitution.
I am also disturbed that Mr. Maciarello has insinuated that there is an ethical prohibition against Seth Mitchell prosecuting Thomas Leggs. That is either evidence of ignorance, of applicable law, or a blatant untruth.
Sam Vincent never lied, or cheated, to win.

Mr. Clark I have nothing but respect for you. I have faced you numerous times as a detective assigned major cases. You and Seth are polar opposites. I understand your loyality to Mr. Mitchell. Maybe you should have have ran. It might have been a contest.

Sorry Seth you have shown your true colors and lost my vote. Also great idea to keep Davis if he chooses to.

Wow! Thank you Lee Clarke! This is not just opinion. This is the Truth!

matt has our vote!!!!

Lee Clarke just wants to prosecute the Leggs case as reported in the Daily Times. He also can't handle it when someone has an opinion contrary to his. Under his constitution, everything is great as long as you share his opinion. Law enforcement did not attack Seth, they just expressed a preference for Matt. You and Seth's Aunt(ops... Daily Times busted you guys on that one), and the other Mitchell supporters are classless hacks.
