One of our souces, close enough to the defense team to have been sent the actual E-mail, gave us a chance to look at something that has not yet been reported upon in the media --- an E-mail statement by lead defense counsel Dennis Kelly concerning the Ronnie Wright case and the actions of the Brooklyn DA's office during the ongoing "actual innocence proceedings" in Brooklyn Supreme Court :
"The district attorney’s office has repeatedly and deliberately lied in this matter in an attempt to validate the conviction of an innocent man. They concealed evidence at trial and continue to ignore all of the exculpatory evidence they have had for years which [evidence clearly indicates] that Ronnie Wright is innocent [of these charges]...."
Dennis Kelly then went further --- and he named names and cited ongoing wrongful activities by the Brooklyn DA's office:
".... More disturbingly [an ADA in the Brooklyn DA's office] Stewart was in constant contact with a witness the defense [had] been trying to subpoena yet [ADA Stewart did] not inform anyone that the witness had been actually and] obviously available. It is no coincidence that.... after ADA Stewart [informed Valerie] Smith of the hearing testimony [of another witness, and Smith called to intimidate that witness] ADA Stewart’s actions will necessitate his recusal as a [particpant] in this matter as the substance of his conversation with Valerie Smith certainly will be relevant [in the actual innocence proceedings involving Ronnie Wright], transforming [ADA Stewart] into a necessary witness in [future actual innocence proceedings involving Ronnie Wright, and] any [possible] prosecution of Smith for witness tampering...."
Defense lawyer Kelly concluded his E-mail statement with this:
".... [Brooklyn DA] Gonzalez’s handling of this matter is devoid of the basic ethical obligations of a prosecutor to do justice and reveal the truth. The DA has obfuscated and withheld evidence throughout this prosecution that has nothing to do with justice or the truth...." (See E-mail from Dennis Kelly [Wed, Aug 10, 2022 at 9:55 AM Dennis Kelly <dkelly@kgkfirm.com]).
The statement above by the lead counsel in the Ronnie Wright case is just a small part of the wrongful malicious prosecution of Ronnie Wright since 2007 --- first by Brooklyn DA Charles Hynes, and now by Brooklyn DA Eric Gonzalez .....
The instant feature post on this independent Republican blog for Brooklyn and Staten Island is just a preview and a teaser of a full coverage feature about the wrongful collusion by NY area DA's offices and the politically weaponized FBI, from the days of J. Edgar Hoover to the present. and by the corresponding connivance by the U.S. Attorney's offices in the NYC metropolitan area with local DAs to convict innocent defendants as part of a protection racket to get the cooperation of the actually guilty parties to be >>> FBI informants and cooperating witnesses in various cases brought by the U.S.Attorneys in the NYC area.
JUST FOR BACKFILL: THE "OTHERS HAVE OBSERVED THAT THE DA'S STORY AND BEHAVIOR STINKS" EDITION
ReplyDeleteJOURNALIST EXTRORDINAIRE TED HAMM REPORTED ON THIS CASE IN GREAT DETAIL IN 2021
According to Mr. Hamm: "Did the Brooklyn DA’s office get Ronnie Wright’s case Really Wrong?
--- Another case tainted by prosecutors' decision to conceal potentially exculpatory evidence...
In order to help prosecutors build their successful case against “G’z Up” gang leader Nicholas Washington, Morris confessed to committing two murders (ordered by Washington) in Bed-Stuy in 2005-6. One of the two people killed was Andrell Napper, an innocent bystander who Morris gunned down in a botched retaliation shooting outside the Tompkins Houses in August 2006.... Shortly thereafter, the Brooklyn district attorney’s office brought murder charges against two men for killing Napper, Stephon Williams and Ronnie Wright. During the preliminary hearings prior to trial, Williams changed his plea from innocent to guilty, but continued to implicate Wright. Williams, however, never took the witness stand at Wright’s trial.... In October 2007, a Brooklyn state supreme court jury convicted Wright of killing Napper. But amid the run-up to the 2019 federal trial, Wright learned that Morris had made statements to law enforcement officials shortly after the murder that were never turned over to his trial defense.... In the two statements, Morris denied he was a gunman and provided divergent accounts of Wright’s alleged role. The prosecution’s failure to turn over such potentially exculpatory material is a clear Brady violation, which may yield an overturned conviction.... All of these points raise a simple question: Why is Ronnie Wright still in prison, where he is not eligible for parole until 2044?..." (See "Did the Brooklyn DA’s office get Ronnie Wright’s case Really Wrong?" by Ted Hamm, 3/9/2021, The Indypendent/ Blog/ Jail & Prison/ New York/ NYPD/ [https://indypendent.org/2021/03/when-prosecutors-hide-the-evidence/]).
Another witness was introduced in Ted Hamm's 2021 article; and she is described as "a woman with the surname Smith"; which is how Hamm describes her throughout the rest of his article. According to the complete Dennis Kelly statement (quoted but editted above), her full name is "Valerie Smith".
ReplyDeleteEven though a little of the skullduggery by witness "Smith" along with the described untoward activities by ADA Matthew Stewart was mentioned by Ronnie Wright's attorney Dennis Smith and in ted Hamm;s article, apparently Valerie Smith had a very particularized vested interest in participating in the Ronnie Wright trial for the murder that occurred in August of 2006. Valerie Smith was involved from the very beginning of the police investigation of the murders, continuing through 2006 and 2007, then she was with the Brooklyn DA's trial prep team during 2007, and then she provided key details for the prosecution by giving specific testimony at the trial of Ronnie Wright, all of which resulted in the specific outcome of that trial, as well as in the extremely long sentence given to Ronnie Wright early in 2008 for the August 2006 murder.
That vested interest was so persistent and intense, that Valerie Smith has been accused of continuing to give false testimony against Wright in 2021; which testimony was heavily contradicted by multiple witnesses; and also being instrumental in interfering with pro-defense witnesses up to and including in the current Ronnie Wright actual innocence trial, still ongoing into 2023. There has also been police testimony introduced in the Wright case that Valerie Smith was a paid NYPD informant prior to the incident of August 2006, and that relationshop continued during the Ronnie Wright trial for murder in 2007.
UPDATE & BACKFILL: THE "WHY THE FRENETIC OBSESSION ABOUT WHAT EATON WILL BE DOING WITH AND FOR THE KATHY KHATARI WRITE-IN CAMPAIGN FOR NY CITY COUNCIL" EDITION
ReplyDeleteLET US START BY OUR REASSERTING THAT >>> CRAIG EATON'S GETTING KATHY KHATARI ON JOHN CATSIMATIDIS' ABC RADIO SHOWS IS NOTHING DIFFICULT OR PROBLEMATIC IN ANY WAY --- IT IS SOMETHING AVAILABLE AND OPTIONAL FOR EATON OR KHATARI TO DECIDE UPON WITHIN THE NEXT MONTH OR SO.....
THE KASSAR KOMMIE KAGAN KABAL OF JERRY KASSAR, TED GHORRA, BRIAN FOX, AND POSSIBLY KGB-BOY-TO-MAN-TO-DEMOCRAT-NYC-KOUNCILMAN-TO-REPUBLIKAN-KONSERVATIVE-KANDIDATE-KAGAN HIMSELF >>> ARE COMPLETELY BENT OUT OF SHAPE ABOUT OUR COMMENT POSTED ABOVE.....
AND AGAIN WE MUST ASK WHY ??? --- WHY THE INTENSE CONCERN ABOUT WHAT EATON'S AND KHATARI'S OPTIONS MIGHT BE VIS-A-VIS KHATARi'S NOT YET FORMALLY ANNOUNCED WRITE-IN CAMPAIGN FOR NYC COUNCIL AGAINST ARI KAGAN AND JUSTIN BRANNAN ?????
THE PROOF IS IN THE TWO LAST FRENZIED AND FAILED ATTEMPTS BY THE KASSAR-GHORRA-FOX KOMMIE KAGAN KABAL TO GET COMMENTS ONTO THIS >>> INDEPENDENT REPUBLICAN BLOG FOR BROOKLYN AND STATEN ISLAND <<<
If both had not been blocked and censored as absolutely feckless, fruitless "fake news" --- The first might look something like this:
"552 Gale... Now you are just [[[ ]]]..you are saying Khatari does not want to be on WABC radio [[[ but not really, because we never said that ]]]..yeah that [[[absolute strawman proposition]]] makes a lot of sense..but [[[ the Kagan Kabal would really like to say something to disprove what your independent Republican blog is telling all the folks how Eaton absolutely does have the clout with Cats to make Kathy Khatari's talking on ABC Radio happen; and obviously intends to say when Eaton will make it happen ]]]..unlike [[[Kassar, Ghorra and Fox who now can't seem to make anything go right for the Kagan campaign]]]....";
and the second, like this:
"Why [[[ did Ghorra/Kassar ]]] get Kagan on WABC with Cats [[[ so early in the campaign when it hardly mattered ]]] but Eaton [[[ gets to tease out Khatari's radio rollout on Cat's ABC Radio with so much anticipation and drama --- and she should get to talk on-air when it counts most]]] ??? Just askin...."
One more thing --- It's been said before >>> Eaton spends so much time in the heads of those involved in the Kassar-Ghorra Kommie Kagan Kabal, including Jabba-the-Fox, Eaton should be made to pay rent or fair value for "use and occupancy" of that otherwise vacant space.....
RESPONSE FIRST --- CENSORED COMMENT AFTER: THE "BECAUSE THE KASSAR-KLUX-KOMMIE-KAGAN-KLAN FAKE NEWS NOT ONLY IS A LIE, IT IS ALSO COMPLETELY BACKWARDS IN ITS IMPLICATIONS" EDITION
ReplyDeleteTO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 3:55 PM" [[[ WITH THE ACTUAL COMMENT CENSORED AND NOT APPEARING ON ITS OWN TWO FEET --- BUT ONLY AS PART OUR OWN INSTANT COMMENT FOR DEMONSTRATIVE PURPOSES ONLY ]]]
THE KAGAN TEAM OF PRO-COMMIE, PRO-ARBOTION, PRO-DEFUND-THE-POLICE SELLOUTS LIKE JERRY KASSAR, TED GHORRA, MARTY GOLDEN, LIAM McCABE AND BRIAN FOX ARE SO FULL OF THEIR OWN SHIT THAT >>> THEY EXPECT ANYBODY TO BELIEVE THAT THEY "... WANT KHATARI ON ABC RADIO..."
Since the notion is so preposterous and feckless, and reaches to Woody Allen's very well-said "height of jejunosity" --- we knew that nobody would believe it, unless they could see it with their own eyes.....
So, we nave made the editorial judgment to print the WHOLE COMMENT here for the very limited purpose of showing everybody how twisted and completely turned around they all have become, because of their support of Komrade KGB Kadet, Soviet Information Officer, and Under-Cover Operative since the fall of the Soviet Union Ari (Arkady) Kagan..... Here is THEIR COMMENT, as it would have appeared without our intervention:
"Anonymous said... We want Khatari on WABC radio like Kagan..come on Gale... September 20, 2023 at 3:55 PM...."
YES !!! IT'S TRULY PREPOSTEROUS AND FECKLESS --- JUST LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE CONNECTED TO KOMMIE KOMRADE KAGAN'S PRETENDING TO BE A KONSERVATIVE REPUBLIKAN.....
So Eaton can make it happen as get closer..ok let us know when Khatari is on WABC..SPOILER ALERT: it will NOT happen..kassar & Ghorra already talked to Cats and he understands.
ReplyDeleteWE HAD TO LET THE ONE ABOVE THROUGH TOO: THE "JUST TO WATCH THEM TWIST INTO A THREE-RING PRETZEL TO CONTRADICT THEMSELVES" EDITION
ReplyDeleteIT ONLY TOOK THEM ONE HOUR AND SEVEN MINUTES TO SEE THE ERROR OF THEIR WAYS; AND TO COME UP WITH A NEW FAKE NEWS LIE THAT CONTRADIDCTED THEIR EARLIER FAKE NEWS LIE COMMENT ABOUT WANTING KATHY KHATARI TO BE ON ABC RADIO.....
BTW, here is another blatant fake news lie from the Komrade Kassar and Kagan team >>> "... Kassar & Ghorra already talked to Cats and he understands...."
There was no such call by Kassar and GHorra, and there was no such understanding by Catsimatidis about Kathy Khatari, expressed or implied.....
UPDATE & BACKFILL: THE "WHY DOES THE FLURRY OF SPASDIC COMMENTS BY THE KOMRADE KASSAR KOMMIE SUPPORTING KGB-KAGAN TEAM KEEP FLOWING ALONG LIKE 'OLE MAN RIVER' ?"
ReplyDeleteTHERE WAS MORE OF THE SAME ON THE FORM OF THREE MORE ATTEMPTED COMMENTS BETWEEN 6:08 PM AND 9:04 PM FROM >>> THE KAGAN TEAM OF PRO-COMMIE, PRO-ARBOTION, PRO-DEFUND-THE-POLICE SELLOUTS --- JERRY KASSAR, TED GHORRA, MARTY GOLDEN, LIAM MC CABE AND BRIAN FOX <<<
After getting caught asking us at this independent Republican blog for Brooklyn and Staten Island to use our influence on that fat Greek grocer with the fright-mask face and the speech impediment to put Kathy Khatari on air at ABC Radio before election day to talk about her opposition to Ari Kagan and the write-in campaign against him, the Kommie Kagan Kook Squad then tried to turn that all on its head by saying such a think couldn't be done in few more censored and non-appearing comments --- three times over in less than three hours --- four times in four hours if you count their comment above at 5:02 PM, which did appear for our illustrative purposes.....
1030 am
ReplyDeleteI was at a dinner with Cats and Cox and others in the GOP after the NYS GOP Convention & they joked about Eaton endorsing Avery Perara in a city council gop primary and getting less than 500 votes
RESPONSE TO THE MOST RECENT CENSORED ITEM FROM THE KASSAR KOMMIE KAGAN TEAM: THE "DAILY NEWS... DAILY BLUES... >>> 'HOW DO I KNOW ? >>> I READ IT IN THE DAILY NEWS....' [TP]" EDITION
ReplyDeleteTO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 5:18 AM" [CENSORED AND NOT APPEARING EXCEPT AS QUOTED HEREIN BELOW IN THIS INSTANT COMMENT]
IT HAS BECOME SO MUCH FUN BELLING-THE-KASSAR-KONSERVATIVE-KOMMIE-KAGAN-KREW'S-KAT WITH THEIR FAKE NEWS LIES --- WE MIGHT MAKE THIS FORMAT OF RESPONDING A REGULAR FEATURE ON THIS INDEPENDENT REPUBLICAN BLOG FOR BROOKLYN AND STATEN ISLAND
Here's a slightly editted quote that we want to show everybody about the latest censored statement that came from the KGB-Kommie-Kagan side:
>>> "Gale will talk in circles rather than admit the bottom line truth-- Kagan indeed was on WABC radio [sic] thanks to the influence [...] with Cats while Khatari has not been nor will not be because Eaton has zero clout with Cata [sic]..go ahead Gale dont publish thia [sic] we know the truth hurts..we get it... [NOTE:] the real inner Cats circle has Eaton [completely onboard especially after the Kathy Khatari Daily News piece]...." <<<
And here's what you need to know >>> with Eaton's influence over Cats and other top key NYS & NYC Republicans, and the very-well-placed Daily News article (Gee !!! We wonder how that happened ???) about Kathy Khatari and her write-in campaign in today's edition of that city-wide paper <<< can there be any doubt that the Cats' ABC Radio programs will be featuring Kathy Khatari as soon as Eaton and Khatari give it the go ahead ?????
Now, let's all sing along with Tom Paxton >>> "How do I know... How do I know ? I read it in the Daily News....."
OR AS THEY ARE SINGING THEIR OWN SPECIAL CHORUS AT THE KASSAR KOMMIE KAGAN TEAM HEADQUARTERS >>> "... "DAILY NEWS... DAILY EATON & KHATARI WRITE-IN BLUES... 'HOW DO WE KNOW... HOW DO WE KNOW ??? >>> WE READ IT IN THE DAILY NEWS...."
HA-CHA-CHA---CHA !!!
