Massachusetts Attorney General Responds To Powers Fasteners’ Allegation Of Conflict Of Interest
By admin - Posted on August 10th, 2007
August 9, 2007 -- BOSTON – Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley issued the following statement today in response to a statement issued by Powers' Fasteners:
"Powers Fasteners' allegation of a conflict of interest is totally without merit. The defendant should file whatever motions it chooses after it is arraigned on the involuntary manslaughter charge on September 5, and those motions will be addressed in the only appropriate venue—in court.
Powers Fasteners has responded to the Grand Jury indictment the same way that it responded to the National Transportation Safety Board's comprehensive and compelling report. When the NTSB found that Powers failed to provide project managers and engineers with accurate information about the suitability of its Fast Set epoxy for sustained loads and also failed to identify creep as the cause of anchor displacement, Powers denied any responsibility or culpability for the tunnel collapse, and attacked the investigators."
"We are confident that we will successfully resolve these issues in court."
