Newly sworn-in Philadelphia District Attorney, Larry Krasner, has started the new year with a BANG! Dozens of Assistant District Attorney’s were sent packing with dozens of others shaking in their boots!
Krasner, who took over the 534 employee department on January 2, provided no official comment on the terminations. See the partial leaked list below:
E. Marc Costanzo
Pat Blessington
Trial Division Chief John Delaney, Jr.
Pre-Trial Unit Chief Michael Barry
Chief of the Diversion Courts Unit Derek Riker
Chief of Family Violence & Sexual Assault James Carpenter
Gun Violence Task Force Chief Carolien Keating-McGlynn
We all remember Costanzo and Blessington from the Porngate scandal. The “pitbull” Marc Gilson states he was “shocked”. Many of the others allegedly had dubious convictions and/or misconduct allegations.
Mark Gilson – Bye-Bye
According to triblive.com, “Some of those let go, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss their termination, said they were told Friday morning to come to the office as soon as possible. When they arrived, they said, they were escorted by the office’s detectives as they learned their fate – often without explanation – and cleaned out their desks. Several left in tears.
Andrew Notaristefano, a homicide prosecutor and district attorney’s office employee for more than a decade, said he had a homicide trial scheduled to start Monday – and that he’d met with the victim’s family Thursday night to prepare. He was at his desk working Friday when a human resources employee took him aside and told him he was fired, he said.
Notaristefano, who secured dozens of murder convictions during his career, said he was given “no explanation.” He requested to leave after prosecuting his upcoming trial but was told no, he said. His request to speak to Krasner was also denied, he said.
“I’ve worked very hard and sacrificed a lot to make this city a safer place and to help people,” said Notaristefano, part of the team of prosecutors that unsuccessfully sought the death penalty last fall in a retrial for a decades-old murder.
Michael Barry, deputy of the pretrial division, confirmed that he was asked to resign, with his last day next Friday. James Carpenter, chief of the Family Violence and Sexual Assault Unit for the past six years, said he would also leave that day.
Derek Riker, chief of the Diversion Courts Unit for the last five years, said he was shocked to be let go because “I consider myself one of the progressive people in the office,” responsible for cases that involve alternative treatment and programs instead of incarceration – the types of ideals Krasner campaigned to expand.
Gwenn Cujdik, a homicide prosecutor, asked what would happen if she didn’t resign as requested. She said she was told she would be fired on Monday.
“A lot of us stayed because we were willing to stay and willing to work for (Krasner) and continue to do what we do,” Cujdik said.”
Uh……Yeah. It is not unusual for the incoming District Attorney to make staffing changes. Ed Rendell, former District Attorney, Mayor and Governor states he dismissed about 25 percent of staff when he first took office.
In Pennsylvania, there is a program for first offenders of certain offenses called the Accelerated Rehabilitation Disposition program. If offenders successfully complete the program, without getting arrested again during the time you are on probation or in the program, your criminal record will be expunged.
If you are arrested within this period, you will be subjected to additional probation and a permanent criminal record if you are convicted. Ex-Cop Chris Hulmes was arrested for a DUI in Bucks County and charged on October 4, 2016.
Former police officer Christopher Hulmes, who spent a number of years assigned to the Narcotics Bureau, was charged on April 23, 2015 with perjury and related charges.
This is the same ADA, Terri Domsky, who has prosecuted many other white cops, including formerOfficer Doug DiEmedio, among other, who all got sweetheart deals for stealing 10K worth of electricity. Domsky gave his a sweeheart deal. Yet, the same prosecutor insisted on jail time for former Lieutenant Aisha Perry. No jail time for Officer George Suarez, who was also charged with the same crime.
DiEmedio was caught on film stealing electricity. While he was under investigation for theft of electricity, he was never taken off the streets. He was simply transferred to the 18th District. It was only after the DA’s office was notified DiEmedio was going to be charged for an insurance scam, was he even charged. This was not the case in Perry and Suarez. One has to wonder why? What is the commonality? Prosecutors protect corrupt cops Once again, it comes back to double standards. This entire situation should be investigated.
The ARD program is meant for first time offenders, where the crime charged is relatively minor and does not involve a serious breach of the public trust. What could be more a breach of the public trust, than lying on the bench while on-duty? And since Domsky tried to defend this sweetheart deal at time, by pointing out that Hulmes could never be a Philly cop again, the DA’s office conceded, this provision only applied to Philadelphia.
This means that Hulmes could apply to any of the surrounding counties. The Philadelphia Police Department also never notified the PA State Police of the arrest and conviction of Hulmes, as is required. According to The Declaration, “Pennsylvania’s Municipal Police Officers Education and Training Commission can revoke the certificate of any officer convicted of an offense punishable by one year or longer in prison.
Perjury convictions certainly fall into this category. But a spokesperson for the Pennsylvania State Police, of which the Commission is a part, told The Declaration that completion of the ARD program does not count as a conviction.
The State Police spokesperson also claimed that the Commission never received notice from Philadelphia Police regarding Hulmes’ dismissal and arrest, even though Commission regulations require it.”
Hulmes admitted on the stand that he lied. But he continued to be allowed to testify by the DA’s office until the DA was forced to take action after the expose’ of the City Paper. Officer Arrested After City Paper Investigation It was rumored that many other officers reported this cop to other law enforcement agencies for years, regarding this matter, to no avail. It was finally taken to the media.
“An admitted crime by Police Officer Christopher Hulmes — perjury — and the apparent preference by District Attorney Seth Williams’ office to keep it hidden in plain sight.” Annie Fisher, Eastern Division Chief at the Defender Association of Philadelphia, decried the DA’s Office for coddling someone she says it should be prosecuting.
Assistant DA, AJ Thomson, who says he lost his job in the DA’s office because of it. But Hulmes was allowed to continue with his lies and was allowed to continue making arrests and testifying in court.
Chris Hulmes was charged for DUI in Bucks County on October 4, 2016. See Charging documents here. ChrisHulmesBucks_ArrestDUI
This arrest should result in Hulmes being kicked out of the ARD program and his criminal conviction becoming a permanent part of his record. But in light of the DA’s office doing it’s best to hide his criminal conduct in plain sight for years, and their reluctance to charge him at all, it is highly unlikely.
According to court records he was admitted into the ARD program by Terri Domsky on 6/17/2016 by no other than Judge Patrick Dugan. Judge Dugan of the Lt. Jonathan Josey fame is married to a Philadelphia Police Officer. See how all the pieces are neatly lining up.
The proper notification to the Probation Department should have been made by Hulmes. The Bucks County ADA who processed the DUI charges against Hulmes should have also notified Philadelphia.
As of this writing, a confirmation has not been obtained if that notification was made. Once Hulmes pleaded guilty to the DUI, which he did on March 16, 2017, that arrest should have immediately impacted his ARD terms.
This is the quote from Dr. Brian Williams of Parkland Hospital in Dallas Texas. Yes, that Parkland Hospital. The same one where President John F. Kennedy died after being assassinated on November 22, 1963.
Dr. Williams is a Trauma Surgeon. Dr. Williams tried in vain to save the lives of the five Dallas Police Officers who were killed by Micah Johnson on July 8, 2016.
Dr. Williams is a black man. Dr. Williams broke down in tears as he begged for an end to racial violence. At a news conference on Monday afternoon he declared “This killing, it has to stop”. He went to state that “black men are dying and being forgotten. People retaliating against the people that are sworn to defend us. We have to come together and end all of this.”
Dr. Williams expressed pain at the killing of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile in Louisiana and Minnesota earlier in the week. However; he was further sickened by the killings of the cops in his city. Cops he tried in vain to save.
Dr. Williams stated that he “understand the anger and the frustration and distrust of law enforcement, but they are not the problem,” his voice quivering. He believed “the problem is open discussions about the impact of race relations in this country”. Williams declared also that “black men dying at the hands of police officers affected me. I fit that demographic of individuals. But I abhor what has been done to these officers and I grieve with their families.”
Dr. Williams said he has a young daughter is is teaching her how to interact with the police. He says he often pick up the tab when he sees cops in restaurants and want his daughter to see a different purview of the police than he did.
“I want my daughter to see me interacting with police that way so she doesn’t grow up with the same burden that I carry”.
Dr. Williams advised the Dallas police to as a black man, he supports them. However; it “doesn’t mean that I do not fear you.” He further stated he would worry about his personal safety and have a “visceral reaction” and fear if he is approached by the police.
The problem is that an open dialogue about race has to happen. It cannot be hampered by whites infusing “race baiting” and the “race card” into the equation. Nor can it be hampered by blacks infusing the “victim” mentality and “all police shootings upon black men are bad shootings”.
This experience also exists within the ranks. There are double standards. It is apparent when it comes to discipline. It is apparent when a cop perceives mistreatment in a district or unit. It is apparent that black cops and black supervisors are not supported, by and large. It is apparent that when an accusation is made against a black supervisor, the FOP immediately respond to the complaints made by officers. However; when multiple complaints are made against supervisors who are a non-minority, the same service isn’t as swift.
There is less respect and more of a conspiracy, almost a “mutiny” mentality when it comes to black supervisors. Especially when they are tasked to supervise in the less than minority friendly districts.
Double standards are pervasive. And it has no place in policing. There isn’t a justification for allowing cops who have committed crimes, like Lieutenant Raymond Murphy, where there is compelling evidence to suggest that he committed a crime, to remain in his position and not be accordingly charged. Nor when you have groups of Police Officers committing other crimes and are only disciplined internally as opposed to being charged with theft of services.
Conversely, a black former police officer, Andre Boyer, who has been adamantly gathering and releasing compelling evidence to prove the theft, is now, according to Boyer’s writings, is getting attacked by the Fraternal Order of Police, or more specifically, according to Boyer, the Vice President of the FOP, John McGrody.
Boyer had been fired under dubious circumstances and is now suing the Fraternal Order of Police and it’s Vice President John McGrody, as was former Sergeant Tyrone Cook.
Meanwhile, Corporal Robert PawLOWski, makes offensive and racist comments at the FOP Lodge 5 headquarters, and are reported by other officers, there is no public rebuke of the behavior by police union.
When you have a police officer with the mentality of Corporal Robert Pawlowski, who was recruiting other officers to adopt his racist beliefs as exhibited by his racist behavior, in, of all places, the Fraternal Order of Police lodge, it has to end.Police Corporal Make Racial Slurs At FOP
Double standards when you can have a black supervisor, Sergeant Tyrone Cook, fired and loses his arbitration for being less than 15 minutes late. Double standards when you have Police Officer John Hargraves, who was charged and his charges dismissed, but he loses his arbitration. If this only involved John Hargraves, who is black, it wouldn’t raise any red flags. But there are many officers who are alleging that black cops are losing their arbitration hearings and having to wait for a much longer time than white officers.
The standard many black officers have been using is Officers Thomas Liciardello, BrianReynolds, Michael Spicer, Perry Betts, Linwood Norman, and John Speiser, who, after being acquitted of serious charges, are alleged to have received their jobs back and arbitration dates, at warp neck speed. Ironically, one of them, former Officer Perry Betts, failed the drug test, and was promptly fired again. One of Narcotics Six To Be Fired Again For Failing Drug Test
Double standards when you have Ray Evers, accused and charged with rape of a Temple student, charges were later dismissed at a Temple University frat house. It was an alleged “gang bang”. However; Evers called the encounter consensual. Sexual Assault at Temple Frat: Police Officer Evers Accused
Then DA Lynne Abraham said the victim didn’t lie, “she didn’t have enough evidence to give us.” Yet, Evers went on to be in the national spotlight by being given a police spokesman position, and was involved in a highly publicized bar fight in Avalon. Even though the video surveillance, didn’t back up his version of the events in Avalon, he was never disciplined for his less than stellar behavior according to the cops in that jurisdiction. Ray Evers Avalon Brawl
Double standards with Detective Kenneth Rossiter is only fired, as opposed to charged with stealing from the city coffers.Philly Cop fired for theft of OT Double standards when ow retired Police Lieutenant Richard Brown is only required to pay back the money from his retirement funds when he retired as opposed to being charged.Cops Net Big Bounty with OT And to add insult to injury, his black supervisor, Sharon Seaborough is disciplined because of his theft.
When you have cops doing mock hangings of black baby doll’s in Highway Patrol’s parking lot hanging from a ladder of a truck owned by Philadelphia Police Officer Michael Kelly. When Police Officer Lonnie Adams and Brian James complained, they was retaliated against and ostracized according to their lawsuit. Black Lynched Rag Doll Lawsuit
When you have cops having racist and offensive KKK related stickers on their lockers “Blue by Day, White by Night” and “White Power” and the Officers, Scott Schweizer and Eric Dial(now deceased), get suspended, but they land back in the 24th District. A district where resident racist Corporal Robert PawLOWski, also landed after his 30 day suspension. A district that is allegedly one of the most racist in the department. A district where perhaps they will feel comfortable with their overt racist actions.
Double standards when a white officer, Anthony Magsam, allegedly steals hundreds of gun parts.Anthony Magsam Resigns The white supervisor of Magsam, Lieutenant VinnieTestaLieutenant Under Investigation Found Dead (who later commits suicide on the eve of the arrest of Magsam) not only protects him, but purportedly retaliates against the black supervisor, Sergeant Andrew Little, who has a duty to report the thefts. Sergeant Little and Internal Affairs Lieutenant Leonard Logan, both filed a lawsuit regarding retaliation concerning this case.Whistle Blowers Who Report Theft Get Punished Files Suit
Simply put, this case reeks of a double standard, white supervisor protects white cops, black supervisors are punished and an attempt is made to cover up the crime. Cop Protected: Bosses Cover Up
These kinds of double standards within departments, which isn’t exclusive to Philadelphia, contributes to the distrust in police. The scandal plagued San Francisco Police Department has recently been found by a report as having “institutionalized” bias. Blue Ribbon panel find pervasive bias in SFPD This after many incidents of cops within the department sending racist and homophobic text between cops and supervisors. Institutionalized Bias Says Report
When racist website are allowed to exist, until a black police civic association sues, there is a problem. Black Police Sue Over Racist Website The white supervisor who was the “moderator” then-Sergeant Fredric McQuiggan was never disciplined. McQuiggan continually was promoted with no fan-fare. Yet a black supervisor, now Lieutenant Nashid Akil, made headlines over his promotion, because he was fired before.Once Fired Cop to be Promoted. The media should have been notified of the promotion of Fred McQuiggan on at least two occasions.
Double standards when you have Charlie Green, then a Lieutenant, get disciplined for an entire squad of police officers assigned to the Vice Unit, stealing from the city, and he is transferred to Internal Affairs, of all places. Green is then promoted and put in the Range. No mainstream media coverage, no outrage. Nothing.
Greg Riley, a white supervisor, is found guilty of egregious, arguably, crimes, and demoted, but sent back to the Impact Unit, and is summarily re-promoted. Yet a black Lieutenant, Jamil Taylor, is skipped.
Former Police Officer Christopher Hulmes, was charged with perjury. It took years, and the efforts of an ADA AJ Thomson, who stood up, and many concerned cops to continually report Hulmes lying in open court and admitting it. Lying Cop Charged.
The Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office was well aware of the perjury, yet they continued to call Hulmes to testify. And all the while, never notifying the defense attorney’s of his background, even though they had previous knowledge about his lack of credibility. This is a violation of the Brady rule. Defense attorney’s had to find this information out on their own, well, with the assistance of a few whistle blowers.
In Brady, The United States Supreme Court placed a duty on prosecutors to turn over all evidence favorable to the accused in a criminal trial. When asked why this wasn’t a Brady violation, the DA stated it was because the officer who saw the exchange of money wasn’t the officer in dispute and therefore not relevant. Lawyers take DA to Task for Protecting Lying cop
Yet his was given a perjury pass by the Assistant District Attorney Terri Domsky. ADA gives Lying COP ARD Moreover; no one challenged Hulmes getting his pension. Under civil service regulations, his crime occurred while he was working, thus, his pension should be forfeited.
We have to end all this. Both inside the department and it will have a ripple effect outside the department. If minorities have to live by double standards within police organizations, there is little wonder why they are doomed to live by double standards outside of them.
Everyone weeps when a police officer is killed in the line of duty. It is at that time when police organizations become one. There is a deep pain in the hearts of everyone about the heroes in Dallas. It really hit home for us as a nation. Americans were also outraged at the aftermath shooting of Philandro Castile that was streamed live by his girlfriend. It was in our living rooms, like television did during the Vietnam War and radio did for World War II. It was inescapable.
There is a travel advisory for Caribbean people visiting the United States because of these series of events. The Bahamas, a Caribbean nation where most people identify as being of African heritage, issued this warning to it’s citizens on Friday to be careful when visiting U.S. cities rocked by “shootings of young black males by police officers.” Scary.
As President Obama exclaimed today in Dallas, “our righteous anger can be transformed into more justice” and more peace. But we have to begin by having real meaningful dialogue. Acknowledge there is a problem. And begin to administer the same standard to all cops, regardless of their color, gender or creed.

Things are heating up in Internal Affairs. It has been reported for years about the goings on in the unit that is supposed to oversee the Philadelphia Police Department.
It has been reported that there will be a major shake-up within “Inept Affairs”. Inept Affairs has always had a reputation for protecting bad cops, and retaliating against whistleblowers who make their job more difficult.
Unfortunately for the good cops who work there, they have often been transferred and end up being disciplined for not going along with the official “conclusion”, or story that Internal Affairs higher-ups designate for each case. If the officer doesn’t want to go with the “official” story, then he or she will have pay the price.
Bad cops in Philadelphia know there is little chance of being bought to justice by Internal Affairs. They have enjoyed solitude and silence from the Bureau. The cases of ThomasLiciardello and his crew, Jeffrey CudjikCujdik Fired-Not Charged and his crew, HaroldLloyd and his crew, Christopher Hulmes Hulmes Arrested Jeopardizes Numerous Narcotics Cases and Raymond Murphy is proof of this.
The cases of Liciardello, Cudjik and Lloyd, in which IA had received many complaints about their misdeeds, and basically failed to take action. In the matter of the latter, Lloyd did receive a suspension for the LIHEAP theft. Christopher Hulmes was only prosecuted many years after his crime of perjury, after a whistleblower bought his criminal conduct to the attention of the mainstream media. Internal Affairs Knew About Allegations Against Narcotics Cops
Liciardello and his five co-defendant were acquitted by Federal Jury. Cudjik was reinstated to the Police Department by an arbitrator as was Liciardello and four of his co-defendants. Perry Betts, the sixth, was fired again because, according to sources, failed the drug test to be re-hired by the department. Acquitted Cop To Be Fired Again
As of this writing, despite compelling evidence against Raymond Murphy, he has yet to be charged with theft of services for the money he stole from PECO. Unlike Aisha Perry at her private residence, Murphy had a device on his meter. Also unlike Aisha Perry, who has maintained her innocence and provided her PECO bills as evidence, Murphy had single digit bills, while Perry had higher than normal bills.
What is the difference? This is proof Inept Affairs protect the crooked and persecute whistleblowers. Perry had been known to report misconduct.
Hulmes walked away from felonies with an ARD.Disgrace in Philadelphia; Lying Cop Gets ARD The District Attorney’s Office continued to call an admitted liar, who lied in front of a sitting Judge in open court, even though they knew he was a liar. One brave ADA, AJ Thomson, who stood up, was fired. His then superior, was Jackie McCauley, who was married to a Narcotics Officer, Joseph McCauley. DA Reports Lying Cop
Murphy and Lloyd haven’t been prosecuted, despite Lloyd’s guilty plea on his disciplinary charges. Murphy continues to work as if nothing happened. It should be noted that the ADA in the Hulmes case and Doug DiEmido case had the same prosecutor, Terri Domsky, as Aisha Perry. The contrasts in the outcomes of the cases are startling. DiEmedio was subsequently charged in a multi-million dollar insurance scam. DiEmedio was given probation in the PECO theft, in which PECO had him on film stealing electricity. DiEmedio Arrested Again For Insurance Scam
Officer Edward Sawicki was immediately charged for having an argument off-duty that allegedly had a racial component to it.Cop Charged with Terrorist Threats One has to wonder why?
Cops get into off-duty arguments everyday and even if he did call someone a name, should he be arrested for it? Adding insult to injury, it was just decided last week, he would not be retried. Resident Racist John Pawlowski wasn’t prosecuted, and shouldn’t have been either, but he should have been fired. But Sawicki was charged and fired. A Common Pleas jury acquitted the officer earlier this year. Cop Acquitted
Fredric McQuiggan, the webmaster of the racist and alleged defunct website,Injunction-Read Lawsuit Here “Domelights.com”, was never disciplined for allegedly using city computers on city time to mediate his forum of intolerance. Racist Police Website Shut Down
Vincent Testa, who recently committed suicide one day before he was allegedly to be arrested and in which Officer Anthony Magsam was arrested, enjoyed the protection of IA. Once again, whistleblowers, who went outside the department, bought these two alleged crimes to light. But Leonard Logan and Andrew Little paid a steep price. They have filed a whistleblower lawsuit. Top Cops Punish Whistleblowers
The irony in the Testa case is the boldness in which he used his rank to intimidate anyone who even thought about reporting the stolen gun parts that Magsam had taken, and was later found in his home after a search warrant was issued. Magsam was subsequently charged, despite IA’s refusal to charge him.Cop Arrested For Gun Parts Theft
It took years. And during the investigation, even after Testa embarrassed the Police Department, he was merely kicked out of the Firearms Unit and put in a district. He was only put in DPR after six years, when his arrest was imminent. Testa took the easy way out, he killed himself. Testa Commits Suicide
One has to wonder what Sawicki did to deserve such treatment for an off-duty argument. At least his life will not be further interrupted and he can return to his job. Maybe Sawicki should have started a “love” affair with the amorous city prosecutors.
Under the previous administrations of John Norris, Steve Johnson and Pat Fox, it had long be rumored bad cops were taken care of. Norris and Fox it was rumored, actually went out of their way to get cops they disliked, while Johnson was called “Nero”, because he did nothing to stop it. From most sources, Johnson was a genuine nice guy. Maybe too nice.
Rumor has it that toward the end of Johnson’s reign at the helm of IA, the facade began to disintegrate. Johnson began to see what was going on around him and the last days at IA was uncomfortable. Allegedly, Fox had an all out war with Denise Turpin. Turpin was constantly being disrespected by Mark Everitt, who, as only a Captain, allegedly decided he could disrespect Turpin because she didn’t count. It was reported that Johnson, who told Turpin he would not remove Everitt from her command, lost the battle. Sources in IA has reported their opinion is that Everitt is a racist and it is alleged he has a long history of being confrontational with minority officers. Under that guise, it is apparent why he experienced difficulty working under Turpin and wanted to get away.
Shortly thereafter; Fox moved Everitt to another squad, even after Johnson promised the move wouldn’t occur. Johnson was reportedly furious, but failed to stop the move. Ouch!
Therefore; Laverne Vann should understand how George Fuchs felt comfortable enough to become confrontational with her. If a subordinate, as in the case of Everitt and Turpin, could blatantly disrespect a superior officer, understandably, peer-to-peer, all bets are off. Professionalism is out the window. White male ego supersede common sense and professionalism.
It was a big story when now Lieutenant Nashid Akil was promoted in the media. Controversial Cop Gets Promotion. Where was the media story when Charlie Green, who was disciplined after several cops in the Vice Unit stole thousands of dollars from the city and was disciplined, not charged, and ordered the repay the stolen money to the city from their pension plans. Green was transferred to Internal Affairs after his misdeed and then promoted to Captain. There was no mainstream media coverage.
What is amazing about Patricia Giorgio-Fox, she sat in judgment of cops and never worked the streets and knew nothing about policing, according to many sources. Yet she was never stopped.
Now working as Chief of Cheltenham Township, John Norris
Rumor has it there will be a major shake-up in Inept Affairs. It’s long overdue.
Admitted perjurer former Officer Christopher Hulmes has been the sweetheart deal of the century. Since when does the District Attorney’s Officer offer the first time offender program to people charged with felonies? And when is a first time offender still a first time offender, even though Hulmes was arrested for DUI earlier in the year. This is outrageous.
As a result of his arrest, hundreds of cases are in jeopardy of being tossed. Lying Cop Could Void Arrests This guy denied being a liar to the end. Hulmes Insists he was truthfulHulmes, who admitted in open court to a sitting judge, that he falsified paperwork, continued working on the street for many months after the transgression. This case, which resulted in another black eye for the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office after Philadelphia City Paper did a series that exposed the facts the DA’s office continually called the cop to testify, after knowing he was a liar. Furthermore, the Police Department failed to remove him from the street. Cop admitted to Lying in Open Court
Even after this Officer embarrassed the District Attorney’s Office DA’s Black Eye over One Lying Cop and the Police Department, the DA’s office took the “unusual” step of giving this liar a sweetheart deal.
This officer was only arrested after the expose’ of the City Paper. Officer Arrested After City Paper Investigation It was rumored that many other officers reported this cop to other law enforcement agencies for years, regarding this matter, to no avail. It was finally taken to the media.
An honest former ADA, AJ Thomson, was terminated because he was suddenly producing substandard work after refusing to put this lying cop on the stand and questioning the reasoning behind the DA’s office continuing to call him to testify. DA vs Lying Cop Thomson really did battle with his then supervisor, ADA Jackie McCauley, who also happened to be married to a Narcotics Officer, Joseph McCauley, who was friends with Hulmes. Many have asserted that Hulmes was very confident, almost cocky about the outcome of this criminal case.
The problem is this officer, like many others who have been similarly situated, allegedly has had multiple affairs with various ADA’s. One has to wonder if this is why this guy gets the break of the century. Especially considering he has been arrested multiple times in the last year. Isn’t it the “first time” offenders program? Unless DUI’s don’t count.
This is the same ADA, Terri Domsky, who has prosecuted many other white cops, including former Officer Doug DiEmedio, among other, who all got sweetheart deals. One has to wonder why? What is the commonality? Prosecutors protect corrupt cops Once again, it comes back to double standards. This entire situation should be investigated.
This goes back to the theft by Lieutenant Raymond Murphy, from PECO who continues to work and have not been charged. Double Standards. In the Murphy case, there is compelling and overwhelming evidence that Murphy committed a crime. Everyone else involved in the scheme, has been arrested in the suburbs.Philadelphia Man Arrested In Bucks County For Stealing Electricity in 5 Counties The same with theft of LIHEAP funds by Lieutenant Harold K. Lloyd. City and State Workers Arrested for LIHEAP TheftsThe DA arrests 18 public servants, but surgically removes the police who were involved. This is outrageous.
This entire incident reeks to high heaven. This is an outrage. Defense attorney’s all over the city should be inquiring about first time offender programs for their clients who are facing felonies. Lying Cop Gets Sweetheart Deal
Separated at birth. Frank Fina and twin Stanley Livingston
It has been rumored that Frank Fina, the racist, sexist, homophobic email sending prosecutor in the Philadelphia District Attorney’s office, has resigned.
Seth Williams, who probably couldn’t be elected dog catcher in Philadelphia, has yet to publicly announce the resignation.
Fina the Freak, as he is often referred to, is one of the three who left the Attorney General’s office and came to the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office.
Fina is in the middle of “Porngate”. It has long been questioned as to why Fina didn’t resign and the light must have finally turned on for the racist, sexist Prosecutor. Why Doesn’t Fina Quit?
Williams, who has been under pressure to fire the three prosecutors has steadfastly refused to do so, and finally announced he did give the prosectors “sensitivity” training. It seems that the entire crew who came from the Attorney General’s office, including one Claude Thompson, whom Williams recently appointed Chief County Detective for the District Attorney’s Office, was problematic. Claude Thompson Promotion
Someone needs to tell this guy, that if you stop a car in Philadelphia, you must comply with documenting that car stop. Ol Claude probably didn’t appreciate Chief Inspector Joseph Sullivan making him look foolish. This guy deserved a promotion in the District Attorney’s Office though.
But then again, this is the same District Attorney’s office who continually called an admitted perjurer, Philadelphia Police Officer Christopher Hulmes, to testify. Lying Cop Arrested for Perjury. Hulmes is on trial currently after finally being charged.
The entire District Attorney’s Office is experiencing a high level of tension and morale is definitely affected. Another female prosecutor, Laurie Malone, was demoted after allegedly recommending that John “Johnny Doc” Doughtery, the Local 98 leader, be arrested after he allegedly threw a punch at a non-union electrician. Deputy DA Demoted After Recommending Charges
Malone is now overseeing criminal complaints. A similar fate was received by former ADA AJ Thomson, whom also found himself on the wrong side of the DA’s brass when he refused to allow a lying cop to continue to testify in criminal cases. Thomson was subsequently terminated. Allegedly because his w ork suddenly became sub-standard. DA speaks out against lying cop
