The replay of the "confession tape" at the retrial of Chanel Lewis


Daily News reports that the prosecution hopes that the taped confession works better with this jury than it did the first time it was used by the prosecution



According to the lead paragraph is some editions of the "Daily News" today,   "A taped confession from the man accused of killing jogger Karina Vetrano was played for a second Queens jury Monday, and prosecutors are hoping it has better results than the first time they showed it...."  (See "2nd jury hears taped confession in murder trial of Vetrano suspect"  by Leonard Greene & Mikey Light,  3/25/19 [print editions 3/26/19],  NY Daily News/  Queens/ New York  [https://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/queens/ny-vetrano-taped-confession-jury-20190325-zz4fpuyrdraalokv2n7awtu24q-story.html]).

The article went on to say this:  "The defense claims the confessions were coerced, and the videos were not enough to convict Lewis last year when his first trial ended with a hung jury in November....  But Det. Barry Brown had a new audience, and he walked jurors through the hours Chanel spent in a Queens holding cell, watching cartoons until he was ready to talk...."

The Daily News coverage by Messrs. Greene and Light gives certain highlights about what appeared on the tape  ---  however, it didn't mention the obvious confusion that Chanel Lewis displayed at many of the questions, and it didn't show that Chanel Lewis' description of the crime scene and account of what he did to Karina Vetrano are not accurate depictions of what did happen. Most of all it didn't show all of the "questioning" of Chanel Lewis before he made his confession.

TO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 7:25 AM"

YOU ARE CORRECT ABOUT THE NO-CCTV NUANCE OF THIS CASE --- JUST ONE SNIPPET OF KARINA VETRANO JOGGING HAS SHOWN UP IN THE MEDIA SO FAR.....

THAT MEANS NOTHING OF THE DEFENDANT CHANEL LEWIS GOING >>> TOWARD <<< THE CRIME SCENE [THE WEEDS NEAR HOWARD BEACH] --- AND --- NOTHING OF CHANEL LEWIS LEAVING OR GOING HOME FROM THE CRIME SCENE [REMEMBER, THE ROUTE THAT POLICE HAD LEWIS TAKING TOWARD HOWARD BEACH WENT NEAR A LARGE MALL IN BROOKLYN]


It remains to be seen whether the defense team will bring this up in any significant way during the retrial of Chanel Lewis, either by way of cross-examination of prosecution witnesses, direct examination of defense witnesses, other defense evidence and/or closing arguments.....

Also, remember that the defense team attempted to introduce evidence of cell-tower pings backing-up a Chanel Lewis' alibi during the first trail and Judge Michael Aloise wouldn't allow it --- causing an audible gasp from the jury at the first trial.

No one cares.
Ulrich will be BP and Liam Councilman and Eaton and Capano will be making plans with Cats for 2028

TO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 8:16 AM"

THE REAL "NO ONE [SIC] CARES [ABOUT]" ARE ERIC ULRICH AND LIAM.....

THE REAL RACE IN QUEENS WILL BE FOR DISTRICT ATTORNEY..... AND THE WHOLE CHANEL LEWIS THING WILL BE A CENTRAL ISSUE IN THAT RACE >>> REGARDLESS HOW THIS RETRIAL TURNS OUT <<<

THE MOST RECENT NEW YORK TIMES ARTICLE ABOUT THE CHANEL LEWIS RETRIAL RIPPED THE SCAB OFF OF THE RACISM UNDERLYING THE NYPD INVESTIGATION OF THIS CASE AND THE PROSECUTION BY THE QUEENS DA'S OFFICE

THERE IS ONLY ONE CANDIDATE RUNNING FOR DA WHO HAS INDICATED THAT SHE WILL CLEAN HOUSE IN THE QUEENS DA'S OFFICE --- TIFFANY CABAN

"The Great Disrupter" Tiffany Caban received the endorsement of the Working Families Party today. That was a blow to Rory Lancman..... It also means Ms. Caban will be on the ballot in November and has a united left wing thing going in the most diverse county in NYC.

That raises the possibility of a competitive race for Queens District Attorney in November. So far, the only person actively seeking the DA job and GOP/Conservative endorsement is Betty Lugo, but she's going nowhere fast. The real conservative-leaning candidate with a shot at winning is Gregory Lasak. He has the President of the Court Officers & political operative Dennis Quirk behind him --- so that means the GOP and Conservatives are in play for Lasak. {Note: Lasak has lots of Howard Beach and Chanel Lewis baggage, and Tiffany Caban and her supporters will use it, both in a Dem Primary and in November].

GM
When will you admit you were sold a bill of good by Eaton by his "closeness" and plans with Cats that u posted about awhile ago...if he can't stop Kassar from being on Cats show so you really think he is going to get Cats to lift a finger to help him with anything that goes against Kassar and Golden wishes in brooklyn...after all, he also did endorse Golden

ARE YOU FINISHED WHACKIN' OFF --- OR AS THE BRITS LIKE TO SAY, "HAVIN' A BIT OF A WANK..."
YOU NEED TO GET LAID >>> REALLY BAD --- AND YOU PROBABLY NEED MORE FIBER IN YOUR DIET TO BOOT, BECAUSE I'M SURE YOU HAVEN'T HAD A HEALTHY SHIT IN A LONG TIME EITHER.....

Maybe you are selling a "... bill of good..." [sic]. Eaton and Cats are so close, when the sun shines on one, the other takes his sweater off.

But thanks for playing.....

Then why was k assar on show?
Why did cats endorse Golden?
Why is Cats with Ghorra?

TO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 3:09 PM"

YOUR QUESTIONS ARE BOTH JEJUNE AND FECKLESS ---

THE FACT THAT YOU PURSUE SUCH QUESTIONS OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN BESPEAKS >>> YOUR <<< INSECURITIES; AND THEY DON'T EVEN CAUSE A RIPPLE TO EATON'S GRANITE SOLID STANDING WITH ME OR JOHN CATSIMATIDIS

I THINK I KNOW EATON & I'M PRETTY SURE THAT I HAVE A PRETTY GOOD PROFILE ON CATSIMATIDIS --- SO, ASSUMING FOR ARGUMENT ONLY THAT ALL YOU PRESUME TO BE TRUE IN YOUR QUESTIONS IS FACTUALlY CORRECT, IT WOULD BE FAIR TO SAY THAT ALL OF WHAT YOU'RE ASKING ABOUT MIGHT FIT INTO A BIGGER "CATS" GAME PLAN; AND NONE OF IT HURT(S) EATON ONE BIT.....


To quote the great Barack Hussein Obama, "[Some people] just let themselves get all wee-weed up [sometimes]....."

Or, to put it another way, if the Depends fit, wear them.

Name ONE substantive thing Cats has done to demonstrate he is with Eaton against Golden and Kassar???

REALLY MAN, YOU NEED TO GET A LIFE.....


Catsimatidis and Eaton Are inside your brain.

As for these folks, Golden and Kassar, just who are they, again ???

I don't think either of them runs anything that matters very much any more --- and you can throw in the man hiding under the rug named Ghorra too.

So GM
I guess that's a no on naming one substantive thing!!

NOT TOO LONG AGO, CE RECOMMENDED TO JC AND AC THAT AC RUN TO BLOCK TG'S ATTEMPT TO BE THE NYS VICE CHAIR FOR NYC IN THE NYSGOP --- JC & AC WERE ALL-IN WITH CE --- AND THE REST IS HISTORY


Now, I think you're overdue for a change; and once that's done, we can lay you down with a nice bottle and new pair of hatchback jammies with the feetsies for your footsies.

Eaton had nothing to do with that..nice try

Let's face it GM even if cats posted a photo of him having dinner with Ghorra and Kassar and said he loves them you and Eaton would still come up with way to discredit it

RESPONSE: THE "FORGET THE DEEP SUBJUNCTIVE SYNTAX WITHIN WHICH YOU COMMUNICATE" EDITION

TO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 3:16 PM

YOU ARE TRYING TO FORCE ME INTO SOME KIND OF A DELIBERATIVE SUBJUNCTIVE RESPONSE LIKE --- "WHAT COULD I POSSIBLY SAY IN RESPONSE ???"

However, I'll just use the hortatory subjunctive instead --- "Let us simply AGREE about what you just said in your comment above....."

I'll share both you contrafactual-conditional premise as well as your very solid conclusion..... Synergy and Syzygy, Ebony and Ivory.....

Maybe, in your mind, you were playing some kind of checkers; but this is a headier game, and what just happened to you --- that's called "CHECKMATE !!!"

YOUR COMMENT ABOVE WAS BOTH RELEVANT AND INTERESTING --- HOWEVER, SINCE YOU WERE "CHECKMATED," THIS GAME IS OVER AND YOU ARE OUT OF MOVES --- HENCE, UNDER THE RULES, EVERYTHING POSTED BY YOU AFTER YOUR "DEEP SUBJUNCTIVE" COMMENT SHOULD BE DELETED.....


Just one last subjunctive comment by me on all the above --- Now you should know, that's how "checkmate" works.....

I hear Liam is with Grimm again since he is persona non grata with Malliotakis over his Ulrich debacle

Anonymous said...

Great dinner last night with Joihn Cats, Vice President Dick Cheney, Ed Cox and Ted Ghorra..no Eaton??

Anonymous said...

Word is Liam has Jerry involved in begging to join Nicole’s team since Eric hasn’t found him a better job yet. Joe Borelli quietly getting ready to play kingmaker for Michael or another candidate against Nicole.

Anonymous said...

3:28 you need to stop with your delusional rants. Just look at the FB photos Cats posted. No Ghorra anywhere to be seen.

When will you learn Liam always wins..watch what happens soon.

Anonymous said...

Still working at TLC after another campaign embarrassment with Ulrich I think that’s the latest loser hard to keep track these days. Going to Jerry to get him a full time job making 30k a year is embarrassing to everyone involved and hope it’s just a rumor for the sake of the local GOP.

Fake news alert! Contrariwise to what 855 am said, nothing of any political importance happened at the Bay Ridge Manor yesterday. Kerry Kassar, blah, blah, blah! Vella-Marone, blah, blah, blah! Lassie and Rin-Tin-Tin signed autographs.

Heard at the BR Manor yesterday: "Yo, Rinty!" and "Lassie, come home."
