OUR REASON FOR BEING

2007 could be a significant year in the history of New York State jurisprudence. A Federal District Court has ruled that the process of selecting New York State Supreme Court judges is unconstitutional. However, if history is any guide the New York State Legislature, whose job it will be to propose a constitutional amendment, will kick it around, come to no agreement, wait for a Federal mandate, litigate it to death, and spend the next several election cycles pointing fingers at each other. This is how things don’t get done in New York State.

The selection/election(?) of Supreme Court judges in New York State is laughable. The Daily Gotham hit the nail on the head when an 11/7/06 NYS Supreme Court candidates list submitted by Liza Sabater was prefaced with the comment,

“Here's the last list: The infamous list of "who the hell are these people" running for Supreme Court Justice. Yah. We're supposed to entrust our rights and freedoms to people we have no idea if they've even passed the bar.”
Voters are expected to vote for these candidates on the blind in virtually uncontested races.

Over the last several years the process of selecting judges has been microscoped from within. Panels have been appointed, commissions convened and here we are business as usual. The primary qualification of a good portion of our bad judges is party loyalty.

There are unfortunately many, many New Yorkers whose lives have been utterly destroyed by the “stench on the bench”. Kings County has afforded us a peek inside a cesspool of bribes, kickbacks, fraud, extortion, cronyism, incompetence, civil rights violations, racial discrimination, etc. Does any one think this only happens in Brooklyn?

The only recourse is to go right back to the same judicial system to seek redress which is akin to beating one’s head against a wall.

According to Citizens for Judicial Accountability,

“The ineffective self regulation of the Bench and Bar is self evident from the dismissal of, 97% of the complaints against lawyers, 99% of the complaints against state court judges, 100% of the complaints against federal court judges, that less than 2% of the cases are tried and the practice of rubber stamping without explanation over 65% of the appeals.”
The purpose of this site is to be a clearing-house of information. If you believe you are a victim of the courts anywhere in New York State, tell your story. Be as specific as possible. Name the judge(s) involved, as well as the attorneys and even the law clerk. Here’s your chance. It is impossible for the mainstream media to cover every story about junk justice. But here someone is listening. Here we can all compare notes.

Let’s see if a pattern emerges, how often the same names pop up, are there dots to connect, campaign contributions to scrutinize?

Every New York State legislator will be notified of the existence of this site. Hopefully it will save the taxpayers the expense of another convened commission or appointed panel. Yes, a certain portion of posts can be dismissed as rants from disgruntled litigants, but a good portion will be verifiable.

What happened to all the victims of legal abuse in Brooklyn? Were they granted new trials?

Let’s also hear about the fair, wise, and impartial judges. These are the ones we need to keep on the bench.

From time to time this site will feature stories like the two below. Both involve sitting Supreme Court Judges. The first exposes a bully abusing his power to toss a 93-year-old neighbor out of his home. The second features extremely peculiar judicial decisions based of the evidence (or at the very least that which was allowed into evidence) in a child custody case.

THE ESTHER YANG STORY

Esther Yang, is an Indonesian immigrant of Chinese descent college educated in New York (B.S., SUNY, 1989). She is a community activist and ran unsuccessfully for the Democratic nomination to represent New York’s 74 Assembly District in 2006.

Esther lost custody of her daughter as the result of a 2002 divorce. She has also lost her life savings and two real properties in decisions rendered by Judge Joan Lobis, Supreme Court, District 1.

According to a Jan. 16, 2006 article in The World Journal, an ethnic language newspaper serving the Chinese community.

“…she did not drink, did not use drugs, had no prior record and had lawful income, but the judge awarded the custody of her six year old daughter to her unemployed white ex-husband and divided their properties equally. Only for three weekends a month could she see her daughter for three days and had to pay child support in the amount of more than $700.

“Esther must prove that she is living within a 30 minute car ride of her daughter’s school. In contrast, the judge allowed her ex-husband to move anywhere within a 100 miles of New York City.

“Esther, as the president of the PTA of her daughter’s school, said she had been living in Manhattan even before the birth of her daughter and now her ex-husband had moved to Staten Island. To meet the requirement of the 30-minute car ride, she has to spend $75 dollars in taxi fare.

“…her ex had applied to the federal government for welfare subsidies on account of his capacity as a veteran with psychiatric problems and put her and her daughter as dependants. These facts were not admitted by her ex-husband in the divorce lawsuit. Even though she informed the judge of this evidence, the judge would not take them seriously.”

Esther was awarded custody briefly after her ex-husband, in violation of court orders, absconded with their daughter to Ulster County. In a subsequent motion, custody was reverted back to the father while the court “noted its extreme displeasure with the father’s recent unauthorized move”.

Esther’s daughter, now 7 years old, tested in the top 8 percentile in ERB testing. Judge Lobis has granted Esther’s ex-husband the right to make all education decisions. Currently their daughter is attending a Title 1 failing school.

Esther has submitted evidence that her daughter is domiciled in a residence that does not have a certificate of occupancy. Judge Lobis is not concerned.

Last year Esther requested she be allowed to celebrate the Chinese New Year with her daughter. Her request was denied. In a fax to Supreme Court Justice Joan Lobis, the presiding judge in all these decisions, attorney Adam Edelstein wrote that the proposed schedule “does not include Chinese New Year because my client has informed me that the mother is not Chinese”. Why are her ex-husband and his attorney allowed to dictate what ethnicity she is? Esther has offered DNA testing as proof. The court continues to ignore her.

Esther has been forced into bankruptcy. She can no longer afford legal representation. She will however, never give up the fight.

Judge Lobis has threatened to incarcerate Esther Yang for nonpayment of child support. Her next court appearance is scheduled for Friday, Feb. 9, 2007 at 9:30 A.M. The hearing will be in Part 20, Courtroom 345, NYS Supreme Court, 60 Centre St., New York. Anyone who would like to bear witness and/or lend moral support is urged to attend.


This is not the first time Judge Lobis has raised a few eyebrows.
In a May 30, 2004 New York Post article regarding the Casale vs. St Clement child custody battle, Brad Hamilton reported,

“In March, an appeals court ruled that the new judge in the case, Supreme Court Justice Joan Lobis, reconsider the custody question. But Lobis refused to take up the custody issue, denied the evaluation request and rejected the recommendation for a child guardian, spurring a motion in which the mother slammed Lobis for "abdicating her role as judge."

In a subsequent article (New York Post, Oct. 2, 2005) on the subject of judicial misconduct, Mr. Hamilton writes,

“…the Commission on Judicial Misconduct which says it's so overworked that it can't investigate many of its cases dismissed 73 percent of its 1,546 complaints. Dozens of complaints were dropped against a handful of Manhattan Supreme Court justices now under investigation by the FBI.

“Complaints in 2004 were dismissed against Gerald Garson, the Brooklyn judge charged with fixing divorces, and against Manhattan Supreme Court justices Marylin Diamond, Shirley Kornreich, Judith Gische, Joan Lobis and John Stackhouse. That group is being probed by the FBI for allegedly favoring companies to which they have financial ties.”

Adam Edelstein represents Esther’s ex-husband, on child custody matters. Adam Edelstein is a member of The Edelsteins, Faegenburg, & Brown law firm. They maintain offices in both Brooklyn and Manhattan. In a subsequent posting we will examine political campaign contributions made by the firm and the firm’s individual members.

I saw Esther she looks Chinese to me a normal person without a mental illness. I know it must be the medication the biological father of Esther’s daughter is taking; since he is schizophrenic it must also be affecting your vision.

Mother sues city for sexual assault by welfare worker

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BY MELISSA GRACE
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER

Saturday, September 15th 2007, 4:00 AM


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Print Email Suggest a Story
A Manhattan mother of two young children is suing the city on the grounds that a city public assistance caseworker - a man old enough to be her grandfather - sexually assaulted her.

The formerly homeless 21-year-old woman said Human Resources Administration worker Percival McLean, 71, attacked her in his Brooklyn office on July 3, 2006, after months of verbal abuse.

"At first it was verbal, becoming more and more coarse," said Kenneth Ready, the victim's lawyer. "If she didn't come in [to his office, he said], it could be grounds for her benefits being cut off altogether."

"She was dependent on him for her shelter and her sustenance," Ready said, adding that his client, whose daughters are 5 and 2, was receiving food stamps and living in a Bronx shelter at the time.

McLean denied he hurt the woman.

"The allegations are false," McLean said yesterday. "I never touched this woman."

A grandfather of seven who worked as an HRA benefits eligibility specialist for 18 years, McLean said he retired in August 2006.

HRA officials did not return calls for comment. The suit was filed in Brooklyn Supreme Court on Wednesday.

A misdemeanor criminal case is pending in Brooklyn against McLean related to the alleged attack. The Daily News is withholding the woman's name because of the sexual nature of the case.

Ready said prosecutors told him not to let his client speak to The News because of the pending criminal case. City lawyers had no comment.

Before the attack occurred, the woman complained to McLean's superiors that he was making sexual advances, but they did nothing, the woman said in court papers.

On the day of the alleged assault, McLean, who lives in Jamaica, Queens, told the woman to be in his office for an appointment at the end of the day, Ready said.

Except for them, "the place was empty," Ready said. "He physically imposed himself on her."

Orange County sheriff's lieutenant offered plea deal
Accused of selling guns from evidence By Chris McKenna

Times Herald-Record
September 15, 2007
Goshen — An Orange County sheriff's lieutenant accused of selling civilian guns from an evidence room he supervised has been offered a plea deal under which he would plead guilty to a misdemeanor and resign.

Lt. Lloyd Kurth angrily insists he did nothing criminal but says he can't talk about the case and hasn't decided whether to take the offer to avoid felony charges and a trial.

He's scheduled to appear in state Supreme Court on Monday.

One sticking point appears to be prosecutors' insistence that Kurth spend time behind bars — a demand that would reduce the former jailhouse commander and 20-year veteran to an inmate, watched over by his former subordinates.

Kurth, 41, has been on paid leave from his $75,000-a-year job since August 2006 while the gun sales and an unrelated matter involving a pistol-permit application were investigated — first by the sheriff's office, then the district attorney's office.

Prosecutors deemed the permit issue an administrative matter but concluded that some of the gun sales were criminal acts. They first contacted Kurth's lawyer months ago to show their evidence and negotiate a possible plea. The misdemeanor charge that would be part of the deal hasn't been specified.

The gun transactions allegedly occurred before Kurth's promotion to lieutenant in 2005, while he was a sergeant whose duties included overseeing the jail evidence room.

Several hundred firearms are stored there at any given time, most confiscated because of a domestic dispute or the suspension or revocation of a pistol permit. Some are held there because their owners haven't gotten a New York gun permit after moving in from other states.

Kurth's lawyer, John Ingrassia, and the prosecutor who's handling the case didn't return calls for comment.

Undersheriff Kenneth Jones declined to discuss the matter until it has been resolved, saying only that "the office discovered criminal conduct and coordinated an investigation with the district attorney's office from the time we recognized it to be criminal conduct."

Kurth is scheduled to appear before acting Supreme Court Justice Jeffrey Berry. If Kurth rejects the plea offer, a grand jury could indict him on felony charges.

Police probe eBay equipment sales
September 15, 2007

Deerpark — The Deerpark police commission is investigating a police sergeant who is accused of listing department equipment for sale on eBay.

Sgt. Liz Sullivan confirmed yesterday that she has been suspended with pay since Aug. 15. "I have not been told why by any Deerpark officials," said Sullivan, who declined to comment further about the matter.

An outside agency informed the town that Deerpark police equipment was listed on the online auction site eBay, Deerpark Supervisor Mark House said. The equipment, which he wouldn't identify, is now in the town's possession.

No formal charges have been filed against Sullivan. Police Chief Bill Werner declined to comment because the matter is under investigation.

House said the investigation involving the eBay listing is separate from one about the town being left with minimal police coverage on Aug. 16, while off-duty officers went to Hooter's Restaurant in New Jersey. The commission also will investigate if any officer leaked information about the trip, House said.

The commission will determine "if there's anything in the contract that specifically addresses how to handle a situation of no coverage," House said. The commission said the investigation will be complete by next month.

Candidate charged in theft of campaign sign
By Matt King

September 17, 2007
Washingtonville – 3:29 p.m. -- A long-running local political soap opera took another turn last night with misdemeanor charges against a town supervisor candidate just before tomorrow's primary election.
Thomas Murray, a village trustee, was charged with petty larceny for allegedly stealing campaign signs critical of Murray and running mate Wayne Kirkpatrick.
The signs, which read “Shame on Kirkpatrick & Murray,” were put out by Randy Hagen. Hagen, a former village Planning Board member, has been party to several fracases with the village relating to his removal from the board and whether his family lived illegally above his Route 94 gym, Proactive Health & Fitness.
Murray is running for Blooming Grove town supervisor in tomorrow's Republican primary election against incumbent Charles Bohan. Kirkpatrick, a detective with the Washingtonville Police Department, is running for Town Council.
Murray, who is also an elected Orange County coroner, denies he did anything wrong and says the accusation is just another episode in Hagen’s ongoing drama with the village.
“This is my fifth campaign election and I’ve done nothing but run clean campaigns,” Murray said. “To think I’m going to steal signs is ludicrous. This is just one of his tactics for attacking the Village Board.”
Hagen first put up the sign near the Stop & Shop plaza in Washingtonville Saturday. When it disappeared, he set out another yesterday morning and waited nearby with a video camera.
Shaky videos provided by Hagen show Murray stopping near a group of campaign signs, but do not show Murray removing any signs. Still, Hagen said he witnessed Murray taking the sign.
“My plan was to find out who was doing it and ask them to stop,” Hagen said. “When I saw it was him I was surprised that a person in his position would actually do something like that.”
Murray said he was attending to his own signs in the video. He is due in Village Court next month.

Police charge boy in sex assault on bus
By Doyle Murphy

September 18, 2007
Plattekill – A 16-year-old Wallkill High School student held a 12-year-old girl in a bus seat while he sexually assaulted her, town police said.
The boy, whose name hasn’t been released, was arrested and charged with first-degree sexual abuse, a felony, and second-degree sexual abuse, forcible touching and endangering the welfare of a child, misdemeanors. Police said the boy assaulted the girl Sept. 7 in the rear of the bus on the ride home from school. Middle-schoolers and high-schoolers ride the same bus. Police said the girl decided to report the boy at the urging of her friends and after learning about sexual abuse in class.
Other kids on the bus witnessed the attack and supported the girl’s story, police said. When the girl yelled for the boy to stop, police said, another student stood and helped get the boy off her. Police arrested the boy on Sept. 12; he was arraigned the same day in Town Court. He was sent to Ulster County Jail and is free on $1,000 bail. An order of protection prohibits the boy from riding the school bus.

Corruption in Orange County

Officer formally charged with misconduct
1 of 1 Lt. Lloyd KurthPhoto provided By Chris McKenna

Times Herald-Record
September 18, 2007
Goshen — A 20-year veteran of the Orange County Sheriff's Office made an awkward return to his former workplace yesterday to be formally charged with official misconduct.

Lt. Lloyd Kurth is accused of selling confiscated guns that were stored in an evidence room he supervised while he was a sergeant. He's been on paid leave from his $75,000-a-year job for more than a year while the matter was investigated.

"This is not something any law enforcement agency likes to see, especially within their own organization," Sheriff Carl DuBois said after the arrest. "But the good thing about it is, this is the exception. Incidents like this are few and far between."

Kurth denies any wrongdoing.

Before being charged, the linebacker-sized lieutenant appeared in Orange County Court for the prelude to what might ultimately be a guilty plea, if he accepts the offer prosecutors have made.

His lawyer, John Ingrassia, and a prosecutor conferred privately with Orange County Court Judge Jeffrey Berry, who then scheduled them to return to court on Oct. 1.

Nothing was said in open court about the substance of the case.

Kurth, chatting amiably as he walked outside with Ingrassia and his fiancee after the short conference, confined his comments about the case to a brief statement: "I've been a loyal employee of the Sheriff's Office for 20 years."

Prosecutors have invited him to plead guilty to the official misconduct count — a misdemeanor — and resign. Otherwise, he could be indicted by a grand jury on more serious felony charges.

They plan to recommend Kurth spend 60 days in jail, a major sticking point in the negotiations. Ingrassia said yesterday that his client was still undecided.

Which judge would do the sentencing is up in the air. Berry, who said another judge could wind up handling the case, told the lawyers he might recuse himself because Kurth worked in his courtroom years ago when sheriff's deputies provided court security.

As a result of the case, DuBois said, his office has separated firearms and drugs from other materials in its evidence room and entrusted the supervision to three employees — a deputy, a sergeant and a lieutenant — rather than one.

Grace Yang Carter said Public School 6 on the upper East Side, not too far from where her mom lives, is a "better school" than Public School 16 in St. George, close to her dad's home.

"My mom really wants me to to go [to PS 6] but I really want to go also," she told the Daily News.

"I like PS 16. But I'd rather go to school in Manhattan. I want to be challenged. I'm not challenged there. [PS 6] would be hard for me and that's what I want."

Even though she's taking sides on the issue, the bright, bouncy third-grader said she feels uneasy about her parents' battle.

"One parent says one thing, and one parent says one thing and I get stuck in the middle," Grace said. "Then I get all angry!"

Grace's mom, Esther Yang, won her daughter a coveted spot at highly regarded PS 6 through the federal No Child Left Behind act.

But her dad, Edward Carter, refused to yank her from failing PS 16 because the commute from Staten Island to PS 6 in a yellow bus would take about 90 minutes each way. He applied to three high-performing schools on Staten Island.

Grace splits her time between the two parents but under their 2004 divorce decree, Carter was granted the final say on Grace's education. So Esther Yang has asked a Manhattan appeals court to overrule Carter and let Grace go to PS 6.

Grace, who scored in the 92nd percentile on elite private school tests, said she's way ahead of her classmates at PS 16 - where half the kids read below grade level.

While she reads Nancy Drew books, her school chums are struggling through Dr. Seuss, she said.

Fellow students stumble over basic math, but "I get done really quick. I read or draw," she said.

"I try to do my work. Usually it's too loud and I can't do it. They [students] run around the room, throwing things, every day," she said.

"The older you get, the less-mannered they are. I found a way to figure out how to get everyone to be quiet! Scream on top of them: 'Be quiet!'"

Carter agrees that Grace should be in a better school.

But he accused his ex of wrongly applying to PS 6, which is 40 blocks from her Tudor City apartment, effectively nixing his applications to schools within 10 minutes of his home.

The dad said he does not want Grace to spend hours commuting or lose the "stability, consistency and warmth" of attending school close to him. If she goes to school in Manhattan, he said, she will miss out on play dates, afterschool activities and sleep.

Grace is less worried about the long trip to PS 6.

"Mom will pick me up and take me," she chirped.

It was Grace's mom who alerted The News to her plight - which angered Carter.

He accused the mom of exploiting and endangering their daughter. But Yang - who has asked the feds to intervene in her case - said she had no choice but to go public.

"I'm trying to protect her best interest," she said. "To do nothing would make me negligent as a parent."

Divorce battle keeps girl from top city school

Grace Yang Carter (l. with mother) is caught between parents Esther Yang and Edward Carter.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yang wants Grace to attend competitive PS 6, while Carter wants her to stay at failing Staten Island school.
Third-grader Grace Yang Carter could be attending one of the city's top public schools - if it weren't for her parents' raging divorce battle.

Grace's mother won the girl a spot at the upper East Side's highly regarded Public School 6 under the federal No Child Left Behind program.

But Grace's dad, who lives on Staten Island, has refused to move the girl from PS 16, a failing school there, saying the commute to Manhattan is too long.

Grace's mom, Esther Yang, is furious.

"This is the most coveted waiting-list school in the city," she said. "I don't have the money to live in that zip code. How can any caring parent deny her this opportunity? I don't get it!"

Grace, 8, lives with her dad, Edward Carter, on Staten Island half the week, and with her mom in Manhattan the rest of the time.

As part of a 2004 divorce decree, Carter was granted the final say on Grace's education.

He accused Yang of wrongly applying to PS 6, 40 blocks from her Tudor City apartment, in effect bumping his applications to three high-performing schools 10 minutes from his home.

"I did not think it is in Grace's best interest to be riding in a yellow bus nearly 15 miles on the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, approximately 1-1/2 hours each way, to and from school every day," the father said. "She'd become a commuter at 8 years old. Scores are one thing. But she also thrives on the stability, consistency and warmth of attending school close to me."

Yang countered that she commutes 18 miles to take Grace from her Manhattan apartment back to the failing school on Fridays and Mondays.

"I will gladly pick up Grace from his home and drop her at [PS 6] every day and back, whatever it takes," she said.

Yang begged a five-judge Appellate Division panel earlier this week to overrule Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Joan Lobis, who refused to force the transfer.

Yang, a Chinese-American yoga instructor, said Grace scored in the 92nd percentile in elite private school tests, and doesn't want her daughter at a school branded "in need of improvement" by the state.

Yang also charged Grace "got pushed down the stairs by the boys" at PS 16 in St. George. "Most of Grace's friends transfer out of that school to Manhattan," the mom said.

But Carter argued Grace would lose out on after-school play dates and activities like art lab at Snug Harbor along with "dance class, swim class, time with me at the park, zoo, library."

"She would miss time socializing with her classmates," he said. "All that would end. She'd be sitting on a bus."

Grace is enrolled in an accelerated dual Spanish-English language program, he said, and scored well on standardized tests at PS 16.

Grace was to begin class Tuesday at PS 6, where 90% of students test at or above grade level. But Carter reenrolled her at PS 16, calling it "the best of options available." Only half the students at PS 16 score at grade level and 86% qualify for free lunch.

He said he is working with the Education Department to move her to one of his school choices.

Deadbeat dad ex-judge Reynold Mason, jailed for four months for failing to pay $250,000 in back child support, was freed yesterday after his ex-wife accepted $30,000.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Deadbeat dad ex-judge Reynold Mason, jailed for four months for failing to pay $250,000 in back child support, was freed yesterday after his ex-wife accepted $30,000.

"I am not making any comment whatsoever," said the former Brooklyn Supreme Court justice after hugging his daughter and blinking in the sunlight outside Manhattan Supreme Court.

Mason, who was booted from the Brooklyn bench in 2003, was ordered to surrender his passport and report back to court in six weeks to show efforts at finding a job.

"I don't feel victory. I feel tired," said Tessa Abrams Mason, who fought four years to get her ex to support their three children - ages 17, 15, and 9. "We shouldn't get tired. We shouldn't settle for less. But I settled because I'm desperate."

Mason, who once earned $136,700 a year on the bench, was thrown in jail in May for owing more than $250,000 and failing to appear in court.

He has said he couldn't pay because he only made $68,000 in 2005 and 2006 as a Georgia Realtor and had to declare bankruptcy to survive.

Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Joan Lobis initially ordered Mason to pay $75,000 and commit to a payment plan to leave jail. But Mason refused, saying he could only raise $30,000.

Abrams Mason, on disability from a Wal-Mart job, said she compromised because she needed to buy school clothes, pay college application fees for their eldest daughter and pay higher rent because they faced eviction.

Abrams Mason ran her husband's victorious Civil Court campaign in 1994 and helped him to the Supreme Court two years later. When he deserted her, she got him knocked off the bench by reporting ethical violations to the Commission on Judicial Conduct.

"I've been called all sorts of names. Vindictive! Bitter! Gold digger!" she said. "All I'm doing is protecting my kids.

"If he doesn't show up in court again, I will hunt him down again!" she vowed.

officials sued in Crawford corruption case


By Oliver Mackson
Times Herald-Record
September 19, 2007
Pine Bush — In the days after three Town of Crawford officials were indicted, Kevin McGill was the outspoken narrator of a story about allegations of corruption in this small, northern Orange County town. His former business partner, Jeff Long, didn't have much to say publicly — until now.

Long now is suing the three Crawford officials in federal court, accusing them of violating his civil rights.

The suit was filed last week in U.S. District Court, as defense lawyers and prosecutors prepared to spar in pretrial hearings in Orange County Court.

Long's suit could complicate the case against Crawford Councilman Daniel Flanick and Building Inspector John Calaca, because Long is a prosecution witness and defense lawyers could accuse him of having a financial stake in the criminal trial.

Long is seeking damages from Flanick, Calaca and Jim Detch, a former member of the town's Police Advisory Board.

Long's lawsuit accuses the trio of using the power of their offices to coerce him into dropping a disorderly conduct complaint that McGill and Long filed in September 2005 against Claude Babcock, a friend of Flanick's who was running for Crawford highway superintendent.

The three officials are accused of threatening to hold up a certificate of occupancy for McGill and Long's dog-training school on Route 17K unless Long and McGill sent a letter to Town Court dropping the complaint against Babcock.

Long claims in the lawsuit that he and his family were threatened. He also says that the strain of the confrontation forced him to end his partnership in the business, which McGill still owns.

Flanick's lawyer, Stewart Rosenwasser, flatly denied yesterday that the councilman ever threatened Long or McGill. Calaca's lawyer couldn't be reached.

Long's suit contains many of the same allegations that Orange County prosecutors made in a March 1 indictment that named Flanick, Calaca and Detch. Flanick and Calaca are facing felony charges of bribe-receiving, coercion, tampering with a witness and other lesser charges.

Detch already has pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor conspiracy charge in exchange for testifying against the other two.

The case could go to trial as early as next month, after hearings on Sept. 25 to decide the admissibility of taped conversations as evidence. The conversations were recorded by McGill, and prosecutors plan to play them for the jury.

Orange AHRC chief is ousted
By Simon Shifrin

September 21, 2007
Newburgh – 7:15 p.m. The longtime executive director of one of Orange County’s biggest non-profits was canned by the agency’s board of directors last night. Stephen McLaughlin, head of Orange County Association for the Help of Retarded Citizens, was fired by the board at a meeting crowded with workers concerned over the anticipated move, attendees said.
The board, which voted 10-1 to void McLaughlin’s contract, did not provide a reason for the firing, though rumors have been coursing through the agency.
McLaughlin, who earned $155,000 in 2005, declined comment at the advice of his attorney. He said he plans to file a lawsuit.
A lot of the rumors stem from the turmoil over the past few years at the agency, which employs more than 600 and serves 2,500 clients at 26 locations. The agency’s annual budget is close to $30 million.
In 2004, workers rallied outside the agency’s Middletown office, criticizing the board of directors for hiking membership dues from $10 to $1,000. The following year, a group of nine candidates for the board of directors challenged an election in state Supreme Court, saying they were frozen out. The judge ultimately ordered a new election overseen by a referee.
The undercurrent for both of the disputes is the effort by some workers to organize as members of the Service Employees International Union, which has never come to a vote.
One former director, Graham Daley, said the hike in dues was an effort to keep union organizers out of the association, which Daley now calls “an error” that “sounded good” at the time.
Daley, though, said the board’s firing of McLaughlin couldn’t have done more damage to the agency than to “burn the place down.”
“If you look at (McLaughlin’s) record over the past 25 years in this county, you’d have a hard time saying this man is bad,” he said. “Because I know this man works 80 hours a week, and it’s all for the love of the job.”
Daley accused the new board of heeding one director’s long-held “vendetta” against McLaughlin. John Buckheit, the president of the board, denied that and said the decision was “carefully considered.”
“It just concerned issues like the future of the organization,” he said. “I believe the board acted in good conscience, reflecting what they view is in the best interest of the organization with regard to the quality of care we provide to our consumers.”
He called rumors that the board would soon fire other administrators “absolute nonsense.” “We don’t even have the authority to do that directly,” he said.
Still, employees fear what’s coming for the agency.
“We’re very worried and concerned,” said Ann Marie Sutherland, a service coordinator. “Usually the focus is on the people we work with. Unfortunately that’s not where the focus is now. I hope the focus goes back on the families we serve.”

New From Corrupted Orange County

Bar Association says state Supreme Court candidate is 'not rated'
By Oliver Mackson
Times Herald-Record

September 27, 2007
Goshen — A state committee that screens candidates for state Supreme Court rated Christine Krahulik "qualified." So did her peers in the Westchester County Bar Association.

But the Orange County Bar Association gave her a "not rated," and here's what that means:

"We did not feel as though there was enough in her background and qualifications to rate her as qualified," said Joseph A. Owen, a Goshen lawyer who chaired the Orange Bar's screening committee.

Krahulik, a Warwick lawyer, has been a Family Court support magistrate in Orange and Westchester counties since June. For seven years before that, she was law clerk to Orange County Family Court Judge Carol Klein.

The "not rated" finding won't keep Krahulik off the ballot. Last week, she and two other Republicans won the right to compete in the Nov. 6 elections for three state Supreme Court seats in the 9th Judicial District, which includes Orange, Rockland, Westchester, Dutchess and Putnam counties. Each judgeship has a 14-year term and an annual salary of $136,700.

With the election shaping up as a highly competitive one, Krahulik feels as if she's been shortchanged. The peer ratings are among the few ways that voters can assess judicial candidates, besides studying their resumes. "Obviously, I feel that there wasn't any representative on that committee who has any comprehension of what a support magistrate does, or what a Family Court clerk does," she said.

Four candidates received the Bar Association's highest rating of "well qualified:" Orange County Surrogate Court Judge Elaine Slobod, Westchester County Court Judge Francis Nicolai, Rockland County Surrogate Court Judge Robert Berliner and state Supreme Court Justice William Sherwood of Rockland, who's seeking re-election. Slobod, Nicolai and Berliner are Democrats. Sherwood is a Republican.

Westchester County Court Judge Rory Bellantoni, a Republican, and Irvington Village Justice Lawrence Ecker, a Democrat, were both rated "qualified."

Krahulik acknowledged that she doesn't have any judicial experience, although the support magistrate's job is similar to that of a judge.

But the screening committees analyze more than a candidate's resume: They study writing samples. They analyze whether a candidate has the proper temperament to be a judge.

Krahulik said the state committee thoroughly questioned her references.

"Is a judge the only person who's qualified to be a judge? Or is another person who's just as bright, just as decisive and just as hard-working qualified to be a judge?" she said.

Middletown school district settles last suit
By Doyle Murphy

Times Herald-Record
September 27, 2007
Middletown — Four years after a former superintendant's conviction on sodomy charges, the Middletown School District settled the final lawsuit from the fallout.

The school district last night voted 7-2 after an executive session to settle with former Principal Bernard Cohen. Board member Nicholas Mauro and Vice President William Geiger were opposed. The deal pays Cohen $425,000 — half from the district, half from its insurance company — and puts and end to the lawsuits he and the district had filed against each other.

Cohen was the high school principal under former Superintendant Robert Sigler, who in 2003 pleaded guilty to sodomizing a 14-year-old male student.

Cohen told police he suspected his boss was molesting the high school student. The district later sought a disciplinary hearing against Cohen for not putting his suspicions in writing and for changing Regents test scores.

In 2005, an arbitrator sided with the school board against Cohen. The board voted unanimously two days later to fire him. Cohen sued in federal court, claiming the district retaliated against him for speaking up about Sigler. He was seeking $6 million in damages.

Earlier this month, district lawyers and Cohen came to a tentative settlement but needed final approval from the board. Cohen's attorney, Christopher Watkins, said his client agreed to the settlement rather than extend the process in part because the high profile of the case had already established a public record.

"It's not like we had to go to trial to establish that or reclaim Bernie's name," Watkins said.

The Cohen settlement is the third to come out of the Sigler debacle.

Former computer network specialist Martin Milano accepted $350,000 to drop a federal lawsuit he brought against the district after Sigler's victim settled his federal case against the district for nearly $1 million.

Aside from the settlement payouts, legal fees haven't been cheap. The district spent $94,176 in legal fees from June 2005 to December 2006 before it reached a settlement in Milano's case. The Cohen saga has lasted more than three years and has cost the district more than $349,000 in legal fees since 2004.

The agreement with Cohen helps quiet one of the final reminders of one of the darkest episodes in district history. Cohen has moved on to pursue an interest in acting and has appeared in a few movies and an off-broadway play.

The school district has a new administration in place and has settled the last lawsuit expected from the fallout of Sigler's tenure.

"All the issues of the past," current Superintendant Kenneth Eastwood said after the meeting, "that's exactly what they are — issues of the past."

Sigler remains behind bars. He's due to be released in January.

Husband charged in wife's killing

September 26, 2007
West Saugerties — Anthony D. Passaro Jr. has been charged with shooting and killing his wife, Tracey, 37, yesterday in an argument, neighbors say, over a new kitten.

Police descended on the Passaro home, 4 Pine Tree Lane, shortly before 7 a.m. A caller to Ulster County 911 at 6:51 a.m. said a shooting had occurred at the house and someone had died. One neighbor said the 911 call was made by the couple's 9-year-old son.

State Police Capt. Wayne Olson said Anthony Passaro, 40, told police he shot his wife multiple times during an argument. Police believe he used a .223-caliber rifle.

State Police and Town of Saugerties Police are handling the investigation. They were aided by police from Woodstock and the Sheriff's Office, Diaz Ambulance, Mobile Life, the District Attorney's office and the county medical examiner. Anthony Passaro was to be arraigned last evening in Town of Saugerties Court on second-degree murder, a felony, and committed to the county jail pending further court appearance. Anthony Passaro had a long history of mental illness, including depression and several suicide attempts, according to Tracey's sister, Toni Delostia of Yonkers. "He wanted to kill himself, but he didn't," she said. "He should have."

Saugerties man shot, killed wife during fight, cops say


Times Herald-Record
September 27, 2007
West Saugerties — Anthony D. Passaro Jr. has been charged with shooting and killing his wife, Tracey, 37, yesterday in an argument that neighbors say was over a kitten.

Police descended on the Passaro home, 4 Pine Tree Lane, shortly before 7 a.m. A caller to Ulster County 911 at 6:51 a.m. said a shooting had occurred at the house and someone had died. One neighbor said the 911 call was made by the couple's 9-year-old son.

Harry Borrero, who lives two houses away, said he saw police storm the house and haul Anthony Passaro out in handcuffs. He also saw them remove something in a brown paper bag.

State police Capt. Wayne Olson said Anthony Passaro, 40, told police he shot his wife multiple times during an argument. Police say they believe he used a .223-caliber rifle.

Borrero says he saw Tracey Passaro, dressed in a pale pink bathrobe, lying dead on the floor of the house. It appeared to him from the blood around her that she had been shot in the head. Police had asked Borrero to enter the house to calm the family's golden retriever, Holly, who refused to let police enter, Borrero said.

State police and Town of Saugerties police are handling the investigation. They were aided by police from Woodstock and the sheriff's office, Diaz Ambulance, Mobile Life, the district attorney's office and the county medical examiner. Anthony Passaro was to be arraigned last night in Town of Saugerties Court on second-degree murder, a felony, and committed to the county jail, pending further court appearance.



Anthony Passaro had a long history of mental illness, including depression and several suicide attempts, according to Tracey's sister, Toni Delostia of Yonkers. "He wanted to kill himself, but he didn't," she said. "He should have."

While there was mental abuse, there was no history of physical abuse, Delostia said. Neighbors said the couple had been married 17 or 18 years.

Both of the Passaros were receiving disability benefits. She suffered from severe asthma, neighbors said. He had worked as an electrician.

They moved into their small, single-story house in 1999. A rusty old school bus where several "hippies" reportedly lived recently filled half the front lawn.

Tracey was planning a birthday party on Saturday for her daughter, who turns 6 today.



Tuesday, Tracey went to a local shelter and got a kitten as a birthday present. A dispute over the kitten escalated into the shooting, said Borrero and Lynn Sinsabaugh, one of Tracy's cousins who lives three houses away.

The children appeared to have seen the aftermath of the shooting. Borrero said the family's 9-year-old son called 911.

The little girl also told his wife, "My dad shot my mom in the head."

"The kids were her life," said Sinsabaugh.

"She went from the house to the bus stop. From the bus stop to the house," said Borrero.

"She was a good lady. She didn't deserve this."

Lawsuit against Wallkill Town Justice Shoemaker dismissed

By Oliver Mackson, Times Herald-Record

1-31-07 -- Wallkill Town Justice Ray Shoemaker may have been wrong to dismiss 60 traffic tickets last fall, but a higher judge ruled yesterday that suing Shoemaker isn't the way to decide. . . . Acting state Supreme Court Justice Nicholas DeRosa tossed out a suit filed by Orange County District Attorney Frank Phillips, who said last year that he wanted to send a warning to other local judges not to follow Shoemaker's example. . . . DeRosa said that an appeals court could decide if the judge was wrong to dismiss the tickets issued by state police. Many of the tickets are already being appealed to the Appellate Term of state Supreme Court, an appeals panel that sits in New York. . . . Shoemaker's lawyer, Gary Greenwald, scorched Phillips for filing the lawsuit. He called it a form of bullying by the district attorney's office, and predicted that "if they seek to appeal this, they will lose." He added that the lawsuit was "as necessary as cancer." . . . "I'm unfamiliar with those legal terms," responded Executive Assistant District Attorney David R. Huey, responding to the "necessary as cancer" remark. "The court's decision is certainly not an endorsement of Judge Shoemaker's actions, and in fact, the court cited cases that indicated, by implication, that the decision was wrong."

Feds arrest Newburgh man, charge mob ties
October 10, 2007
New York — The FBI today arrested a Newburgh man and six others with reputed ties to New York's Genovese crime family, on charges that they committed robbery and extortion in Orange County and Morris County, N.J.

Louis Pipolo, 45, of Westbrook Drive in the Town of Newburgh, was identified last year during a gambling bust as the nephew of the late Vincent "The Chin" Gigante, once one of the most feared mobsters in the U.S.

In a 7-count indictment that was unsealed today, Pipolo and six other men are accused of robbery, robbery conspiracy, extortion and using firearms to commit robbery. The conspiracy, according to the indictment, involved the commission of robberies in 2003, of companies that did business in other states and internationally. That gave the feds jurisdiction to make the case.

The name of the Orange County business wasn't made public this afternoon. The robbery was committed in October 2003, according to the indictment.

Pipolo was among the members of an illegal sports-betting ring that was busted last year by Orange County prosecutors. He pleaded guilty to a minor gambling offense in June 2006 in Town of Highlands Court.

His arraignment on the federal charges is pending later this afternoon in U.S. District Court. Three of his accused accomplices are identified by the feds as Genovese Family Associates: John "Rocky" Melicharek, Michael Iuni and Angelo Nicosia, whose hometowns weren't named.

Another corrupted Judge in Orange County

No jail for former Tuxedo Park police chief
Loss of career 'enough' to settle theft, judge says 1 of 1 Robert Culhane, former Tuxedo Park police chief, right, and his attorney, Hollis Griffin, listen yesterday to Judge Nicholas De Rosa at Orange County Court in Goshen. Culhane was sentenced to a conditional discharge for taking more than $1,000 from a fundraiser.Times Herald-Record/DOMINICK FIORILLE By Matt King

Times Herald-Record
October 11, 2007
Goshen — Former Tuxedo Park police Chief Robert Culhane could have faced jail time and probation. Instead, yesterday a judge said his public embarrassment and loss of career was punishment enough.

Orange County Court Judge Nicholas De Rosa imposed a conditional discharge, meaning Culhane simply has to pay a $270 fee.

There was no jail time or probation attached to the sentence.

"There will be some who say that's a slap on the wrist," De Rosa said. "But for someone who has lost the ability to work in their profession, this is not a slap on the wrist."

After he was caught up in a scandal of missing guns and office equipment and phantom pay slips, Culhane admitted to taking more than $1,000 from a Tuxedo Park Police Benevolent Association fund-raiser to buy computers for his home.

Culhane, chief in Tuxedo Park from July 2002 to May 2006, returned the computers to the department and in August pleaded guilty to grand larceny, a felony.

Prosecutors had asked for a maximum sentence of six months in the county jail and five years' probation.



DA hears 'wrong message'
"We differ from the judge," Orange County District Attorney Frank Phillips said.

"We think people who are public officials or police officers who commit crimes should be held to a higher standard. I think this sends the wrong message, but that's just my opinion."

Investigations by the Orange County District Attorney's Office and a private firm hired by the village found Culhane ran a department awash in questionable and unsubstantiated expenditures, including fraudulent time cards for several employees.

The reports document irregularities in pay records for four department employees; missing equipment, guns and ammunition; and a 16 percent jump in the department's $500,000 budget the year after Culhane was made chief.

Two officers who worked under Culhane, John Reilly and Louis Hock, are due in court next week to discuss plea bargains.

Prosecutors have offered deals that call for them to each plead guilty to a misdemeanor count of official misconduct.

Both men are accused of falsifying time cards — Reilly to the tune of more than $40,000 for 273 days while he was working at another unspecified job and Hock for about $1,400, according to the village's internal report.

Culhane's felony conviction means he cannot continue his 20-year law enforcement career.

"We believe it's an appropriate sentence under all the circumstances," said his attorney, Hollis Griffin. "It's been very difficult for him to maintain employment."

No jail time? No excuse
October 12, 2007
Judge Nicholas DeRosa did not just get it wrong when he sentenced the former chief of the Tuxedo Park police, he got it upside-down and backwards.

Here's what happened:

Robert Culhane pleaded guilty to stealing money from a police fund and using it to buy computers for his home and family. That plea came after more than a year of investigation into other irregularities in the department while Culhane was chief, including similar fast-and-loose accounting with public funds to buy guns and using department employees for a private business while they were being paid by the village.

This betrayal of public trust was long and deep; sorting out the mess cost the village tens of thousands of dollars, not including the expense for the county and others to unravel illegal activity in a department that is supposed to enforce the law.

The sentence for all of this was a simple $270 fine, with no jail time or even probation, both of which were suggested by prosecutors. The explanation from the judge? The chief had suffered enough and lost his ability to be a cop in the future. The judge noted that he was following the advice of the probation department. That makes no difference; he didn't have to, especially when the recommendation is as blatantly off-base as this one was.

This is not the first abuse of judicial discretion in Orange County this year. A Warwick town justice rebuffed a request for weekends in jail for a woman who starved her dog to death, noting that she had children at home.

There used to be a sick joke about a defendant admitting to killing his parents and then asking for a lenient sentence because he was an orphan. In Orange County these days, that might work.

Former Tuxedo Park cop pleads guilty to misconduct
October 18, 2007
Goshen -- 10:46 a.m. -- A former Tuxedo Park cop pleaded guilty this morning to misdemeanor official misconduct for falsifying time cards that netted him more than $40,000 in unearned pay.
John Reilly is due to be sentenced Dec. 17. Another former officer, Louis Hock, had his case adjourned as officials iron out details of restitution.
Both men are accused of falsifying time cards — Reilly to the tune of more than $40,000 for 273 days while he was working at another unspecified job and Hock for about $1,400, according to an internal report commissioned by the village.
The allegations surfaced as part of a broader investigation into the conduct of former Chief Robert Culhane. After he was caught up in a scandal of missing guns and office equipment and phantom pay slips, Culhane admitted to taking more than $1,000 from a Tuxedo Park Police Benevolent Association fund-raiser to buy computers for his home. Culhane, chief in Tuxedo Park from July 2002 to May 2006, returned the computers to the department and in August pleaded guilty to grand larceny, a felony.
Prosecutors had asked for a maximum sentence of six months in the county jail and five years' probation. Instead, he was spared any jail or probation and ordered to pay a $270 fee.

Former Tuxedo Park cop admits double-dipping
By Oliver Mackson
Times Herald-Record
November 16, 2007
Goshen — A former Tuxedo Park cop admitted today in Orange County Court that he parked cars during private parties in the posh village while he was on the taxpayers' nickel.

Louis Hock, 37, of Greenville, had tears in his eyes as he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of official misconduct. In return for his plea, prosecutors will make no recommendation to Judge Jeffrey Berry about the sentence that Hock should serve.

Hock said he committed the crime between January 2005 and May 2006, while he was a part-time patrolman. He's since resigned from the police department.

The same investigation that bagged Hock also led prosecutors to police Chief Robert Culhane, who pleaded guilty this summer to grand larceny, and former Officer John Reilly, who pleaded guilty last month to official misconduct.

Hock cooperated with prosecutors, Senior Assistant District Attorney John Geidel told the judge today, and could have faced a felony charge of first-degree falsifying business records if he hadn't agreed to a plea bargain. The felony charge stemmed from the time cards that Hock filled out while he wasn't actually working for the village.

At most, Hock could face 60 days in Orange County Jail and three years' probation when he's sentenced on Jan. 14. He's free on his own recognizance until then. He agreed to repay the village $1,000, and gave up his right to appeal.

"As you know I have never taken a position where I would guarantee probation," Berry said, "and I'm not going to start today."

Hock declined to discuss the case after court. His lawyer, Ben Ostrer of Chester, said,

"I think Mr. Hock has admitted to being complicit in a systemic problem and the resolution was reasonable in light of the totality of the circumstances."

Trials and Tribulations: 'Judges gone bad' set a record high
November 16, 2007
Business is booming at the state Commission on Judicial Conduct, which set a record last year for new investigations, launched three judges out of office and censured five, including one from Newburgh.

The commission yesterday released its annual report for 2006. It shows a steady rise in new investigations into the conduct of local, county and state judges, from 172 in 1997 to 267 last year.

That number's likely to increase, because the state Legislature increased the commission's budget to $4.8 million annually from $2.8 million, enabling the commission to hire more lawyers and investigators.

Administrator Robert Tembeckjian doesn't see that as a sign that more people are losing confidence in judges. "I'd say it's more a function of people knowing what the commission is, and getting in contact with us."

He points to the Internet — it's a lot easier to read one of the commission's painstakingly detailed reports on the Web in 2007 than it was to track one down by phone, have its voluminous contents stuffed into an envelope and then await its arrival by snail mail, which is how documents were delivered when the commission was formed in the 1970s.

"I think, as a general rule, the more active we are, the more newsworthy the decisions we make, the more people will be aware of us, and we'll get more complaints," Tembeckjian said yesterday, after the report was released. "Some of it, I think, is that as we establish a record of accomplishments, there's more confidence that a complaint will be treated seriously."

About 1,200 of the 1,500 complaints the commission received last year came from people involved in either civil or criminal cases. Fifty-four came from everyday citizens, 14 were anonymous, 80 came from lawyers, 11 from judges and eight from public officials.

The commission exists independently from the state's court bureaucracy. It's the only entity in the state with the power to publicly discipline judges, which it did 14 times last year.

Three judges were removed, five were censured, one was admonished — a less-heated scolding than a censure — and five publicly agree to leave the bench and never again run for a judgeship.

The five censured judges included Newburgh City Court Judge Peter Kulkin, who was upbraided for circulating campaign material in the 2004 election that contained falsehoods about his opponent, Jeanne Patsalos. The commission received new complaints about Kulkin this summer, charging that he made degrading remarks about Newburgh city police. Kulkin apologized and said his remarks were misunderstood.

Albany is legendary for the mischief that's done to the state budget, but Tembeckjian is convinced that the Legislature is committed to having an independent watchdog over the courts. "Our business is not going to go away," he said, "either by wishful thinking or by eliminating our funding."



Judge derby in '08?

There's a crowded field of hopefuls for the coveted gubernatorial appointment to the Orange County Surrogate Court judgeship, created by last week's election of Judge Elaine Slobod to state Supreme Court.

Months ago, Woodbury Town Justice David Levinson acknowledged the whispers concerning his name — "I hear I'm a candidate," he said — but since then, courthouse whisperers have included the names of Wallkill Town Justice Bonnie Kraham and former county attorney Stephen Hunter, who's also an acting village justice in Chester.

Levinson, Kraham and Hunter probably have an advantage because they're all Democrats, like Spitzer. But there are also some Republicans in the running: Port Jervis City Court Judge Robert Onofry, Warwick Town Justice Peter Barlet and Orange County Family Court Judge Andrew P. Bivona, whose term expires next year and who might be interested in the surrogate's slot.

Who knows? If Gov. Eliot Spitzer feels the need to mend some fences in the GOP-controlled state Senate in the wake of the Great Steamroller Stumble of 2007, one of the Republicans may have a shot.

Correction officer convicted of buying booze with stolen credit card
November 16, 2007
Goshen — An Orange County Court jury today convicted a county correction officer of going on a booze-buying spree with a credit card she found at an automatic teller machine.

Heatherine Tomlinson, 32, of the Town of Wallkill, was convicted of second-degree identity theft, fourth-degree criminal possession of stolen property and five counts of second-degree forgery, all felonies. The credit card was the stolen property.

The jury deliberated for about 2 1/2 hours before returning the verdict shortly before 5 p.m.

Tomlinson was arrested on Dec. 12, 2006, 11 days after she was caught on camera taking a card that someone unwittingly left at an ATM at the Hudson Valley Federal Credit Union on Route 211 in the Town of Wallkill. Prosecutors used credit-card receipts, handwriting samples and store video to link her to several hundred dollars' worth of alcohol purchases at three Middletown-area stores on the same night that she found the credit card at the ATM.

The forgery charges alone each carry a maximum penalty of 2 1/3 to seven years in state prison, but prosecutors haven't yet said publicly what sentence they'll seek and there's no mandatory prison sentence for forgery.

Tomlinson will be sentenced on Jan. 4. The four-year veteran of the sheriff's office has been suspended with pay since her arrest.

DA: No new charges for Crawford officials
November 21, 2007
Goshen 4: 15 p.m. – Prosecutors won’t seek to re-indict two officials from the Town of Crawford, Orange County District Attorney Frank Phillips announced this afternoon.

The decision comes three weeks after Rockland County Court Judge Victor Alfieri dismissed charges of bribe receiving, coercion, conspiracy, witness tampering and official misconduct against Councilman Daniel Flanick and Building Inspector John Calaca.

In his decision, the judge ruled that prosecutors repeatedly introduced inadmissible, hearsay evidence to the grand jury that indicted Calaca and Flanick. But Alfieri also gave prosecutors permission to re-present the case.

James Detch, a former member of the town’s police advisory board, still faces sentencing on a misdemeanor conspiracy charge. He cooperated with prosecutors and agreed to testify against Calaca and Flanick.

“We do not entirely agree with the judge’s conclusions, nor his reasoning to reach his decision,” Phillips said in a prepared statement.

I noticed a few comments about Judge Barbara Panepinto, is anyone aware of any other concerns about her?

Below I have copied my latest letter to the D.A. and Judge Minardo. Thought someone might be interested. Irecently found out that the CYO is connected to ACS Hmmm the plot thickens!

November 8, 2007

Office of the Richmond County
District Attorney
130 Stuyvesant Place
Staten Island N.Y. 10301


Dear Sirs:

I am writing to you because I feel there needs to be criminal corruption investigation as well as a breach of Judicial conduct investigation into a "legal" kidnapping of the children in the "Uccio v Argenziano" case disguised as a child visitation/custody case, by a special prosecutor.

In this request, I am alleging corruption in the Richmond County Court system, starting with Administration of Children's Services, the family court and possibly including Supreme court Judge Barbara Panepinto, as well as Staten Island Family Court Services. Custody was transferred with no visitation using intrinsic and extrinsic fraud and coercion. To date I have been unable to obtain any relief via an investigation into my allegations by the Richmond County D.A. the FBI or any of the Judicial remedies available to litigants.

Judge Barbara Panepinto's husband Joseph Panepinto is the youth director with the Catholic Youth Organization [CYO] where my estranged husband has worked for over 10 years. My estranged husband is living with Aggie Panepinto who is an alleged child pornography photographer. I feel the "family like" connection is obvious. Moreover, given the blatant fraud involved in this case, and the apparent numerous players involved in this fraud, it cries out for an investigation from a special prosecutor. This case thus far has caused a civil lawsuit against the City and ACS for Malicious Prosecution and Negligent Misrepresentation.

Since I am formally asking for an investigation into a Richmond County Matrimonial Judge and numerous players within the Richmond county court system, I feel the Divorce summons and complaint awaiting appointment in the Supreme Court must be taken away from that part and given to a specially appointed Judge who can be unbiased.

My attorney informed me last week that he feels I should voluntarily give up my parental rights, and hope my children come running back to me when they see I have given up. He stated "Catherine Bridge will win everything." When I asked how that was possible with such obvious fraud, he claimed "she is a power house, she wins all of her cases." I have been up against Catherine Bridge Pro Se in front of Judge Ajello and I know she is no power house. I have heard that Judge Barbara Panepinto is the power house.

I see no other way to take this statement other than to mean my Divorce has been pre determined, as were the Garson cases.
Therefore I ask that a special prosecutor and a special Judge be appointed to this case, to avoid any further appearances of improprieties, and malfeasances.

Respectfully submitted,

There's a small but growing movement to ban parental alienation in custody cases, sparked by embattled parents bonding online. They've linked with lawyers and advocates for battered spouses across the country. At least four states, including California, have laws protecting parents who make good-faith abuse allegations. Others may soon follow their lead. Greg Jacob, an attorney who takes cases for abused parents pro bono, is drafting legislation to shop to Virginia and Maryland next month.

NY Rabbi Battles for Custody from Officials

RELIGIOUS DISAGREEMENTS ESCALATE INTO KIDNAPPINGS AND CPS INVOLVEMENT

(KIRYAS JOEL, NY)—Padwa Chipas Znis through a member of its group, Rabbi Jacob Teitelbaum of Kiryas Joel, NY has recently filed a complaint with the United States District Court—Southern District of New York—against a handful of defendants and co-defendants following false allegations and claims of child neglect.

The result of these false claims led to the removal of Rabbi Teitelbaum’s children from his residence where he lives with his wife. The defendants have gone as far as offering to Rabbi Teitelbaum’s wife to return the children to her if she agrees to separate from Rabbi Teitelbaum. Having dealing with these ongoing issues for nearly two years, Teitelbaum is emotionally and mentally drained, and is hoping to get some support for his fight.

This all began almost two years ago when Rabbi Teitelbaum and a friend got involved in a religious campaign against forced divorces that were taking place in the community through the use of illegal kidnapping.

“The cause of the harassment and intimidation we received was based on religious disagreements we had within our community,” said Padwa Chipas Znis. “Those individuals with whom we filed the complaint against weren’t merely satisfied with having Rabbi Teitelbaum’s children taken away, but have continued to harass him an attempt to separate him from his wife and evict him from his wife in an effort to stop our campaign.”

“English is not Rabbi Teitelbaum’s native language, and he doesn’t have the finances to hire a big time lawyer to help make this right,” said Padwa Chipas Znis. “His children and family are his life, and it has been an emotional hell dealing with this for almost two years. All he wants is to get his family and his life back in order.”

For information on how you can get involved in taking action in helping Rabbi Teitelbaum to get relief through this case, email HYPERLINK "mailto:info@padwachipasznis.com" info@padwachipasznis.com.
