POTSDAM -- A New York City public relations firm behind the website truthfornickhillary.com is circulating an email aimed at capitalizing on recent controversy surrounding St. Lawrence County District Attorney Mary Rain.

The email validates concerns brought forward by county Legislator Rick Perkins, who questioned what impact a no-confidence vote in the district attorney might have on the Oral Nick Hillary trial.

County legislators Monday night voted 10-3  in favor of calling on the state to initiate an investigation for the potential removal of Rain. Hillary is scheduled to go on trial in August for the strangling death of Garrett Phillips, 12, in the boy's mother's Potsdam apartment in 2011.

Rain declined comment regarding the email, titled “Will St. Lawrence Legislators Also Ask Gov. Cuomo To Look Into Nick Hillary's Unlawful Indictment? Interviews Available.”

The email comes from Mark Goldman, of Goldman McCormick PR, a national firm specializing in “traditional media and social media placement for law, finance, media, and corporate based clients.”

Mark Goldman, who spoke on behalf of the organization, claims he does not work for Hillary.

“We are a public relations firm. We believe highly in this case and we are doing this pro bono,” he said when asked who was paying him.

Goldman said he has been circulating emails regarding the case for months and with the “no-confidence” vote taken by the legislature Monday night, it was the right time to act.

The email from Goldman says interviews are available with “Nick Hillary (a target of Mary Rain) and his Civil Law Attorney Lisa Maroccia.” But a phone call Goldman revealed that only the attorney would be available to speak.

Goldman said his firm was responsible for getting the case much of its press, including an article in the New York Times.

Goldman stated that Hillary’s attorney would return a phone call, but she has not yet done so.

The body of the email sent by the firm follows:
