If you were watching a TV show where the County Prosecutor was caught attempting to frame police officers for crimes and the show ended with that prosecutor avoiding jail and keeping his job, you would probably consider the show "over the top" and outlandish.
John Molinelli was caught trying to frame Officers Saheed Baksh and Jeffrey Roberts on charges of evidence tampering. After a high speed chase, Officer Baksh fired two shots at a suspect. Upon investigation, Molinelli determined that no crime was committed and the incident was a disciplinary matter. Months later (in the midst of a contentious police merger) - Molinelli did an about face and decided he would charge these officers criminally. One of the charges he tried to frame around these innocent officers was "evidence tampering". He alleged that after everyone left the shooting scene these officers doubled back and under cover of night removed shell casings.
Molinelli has GPS records on each car purportedly used by these cops to "doubleback." Rather than use those records to support his case - he hid them from the defense.
After the charges were reported in the Bergen Record a Sergeant with the Bogota Police Department contacted Molinelli's office and explained that a Bogota Detective had collected the shell casings and that the casings were in a desk drawer at Bogota Police Headquarters.
The GPS clearing the cops and the information provided by the Bogota Sergeant should have ended "evidence tampering" as a charge against the two cops - in Molinelli-land the charges were carried and brought to trial without anyone ever informing the defendants that this exculpatory evidence existed. Let that sink in a moment, a prosecutor who tries to convict people of things he knows never happened is a very dangerous person with whom to entrust power. The Governor who put that ill motivated man in his current position wants the power to choose an Attorney General for the United States and is one of the top ten republican candidates for president. Let that sink in too!
Molinelli had GPS establishing the that the defendants never returned to the scene (as he had charged in the indictment) and he had a police sergeant explaining to him that the casings he claimed were "tampered" with were actually held for safekeeping by a detective in Bogota.
He concealed both those facts and brought two innocent men to trial on charges he knew were false. The two innocent men he tried to frame happened to be cops, they happened to have a legal defense fund and they happened to have additional money to pay for an expensive legal defense.
Cops were nearly framed for serious charges by a psychopathic prosecutor and not a single union leader stepped up to demand that the perpetrator be brought down. What were the PBA and FOP doing for their dues money while cops were being framed?
This is a prosecutor who took Officer AJ Castronova to trial twice (and lost twice) on a petty ante false swearing charge simply because he didn't like the way a mayor from Haworth spoke to him.
This is a prosecutor who made a name for himself at the Supreme Court of NJ as a Patent and Gross Abuser of Discretion.
This is a prosecutor who enabled a sexual predator to violate innocent women for his own gratification.
This is a prosecutor who auctioned off counterfeit as authentic sports memorabilia by using the imprimatur of his office to dupe civilians.
This is a prosecutor who is implicated in the mob hit on Luchese Crime Soldier Frank Lagano.
This is a prosecutor who took an Italian vacation with an indicted (and subsequently convicted) State Senator while that criminal was under indictment.
This is a prosecutor who made false statements in connection with a public contract and swore false statements under oath for a handwriting analyst (who authenticated counterfeit that the prosecutor sold).
This is a prosecutor who intercepted phone calls between a confidential informant and his handler at the DCJ without informing the judge who issued that warrant that he had listened to an informant illegally.
This is a prosecutor who was law partner to Dennis Maycher - Maycher was structuring deposits for his clients in order to avoid reporting financial transactions in excess of $10,000 (Maycher met a sudden and unexpected death).
This is a prosecutor who threatened a Presiding Judge right out of the County.
The PBA and the FOP have been quiet long enough. The Governor declared war on working people and the unions sat down to negotiate the terms of surrender - How did that work out brothers and sisters? When the hell do you people plan on fighting back?
This corrupt Christie puppet is as good a target for exposing Governor Lies-all-the-time for what he is as you can ever get. Christie is weak with this guy lurking at the courthouse, New Hampshire voters aren't as callous and indifferent to mobbed up criminals running the justice system as a typical Jersey cop. Every day in every way the public needs to know what kind of criminals Christie has placed in positions of public trust. There is simply no excuse for keeping that thug in his position. So far no one is demanding that Christie give a reason - can you imagine if he had to explain this situation to voters in New Hampshire?
You don't need a poll or a focus group to tell you that Chris Christie is associating with and enabling a grossly unethical and underhanded person in Office of Bergen County Prosecutor. Enough is enough, you don't frame cops and get a free pass. You don't take bribes to let sexual predators violate our daughters and you sure as hell don't get a free pass to use PTI as leverage to take out Sarlo's political opponents.
LET'S ROLL!
