ReplyDeleteActually this good for Frank. Since Janet won't be the DA after the next election, Frank and Janet will soon again be able to enjoy the beauty of Italy together.
ReplyDeleteCall in the National Guard. The partying and celebration in the streets will be too much for the local cops. Has anyone considered asking the Governor for a state holiday. With pay, of course.
ReplyDeletea good start. then remove him from the bench. then disbar him. and then nicolai should be arrested and incarcerated for a long time. this man nicolai has ruined many families. he's garbage.
ReplyDeleteNo one will miss the windbag...who is next? The buzz is the Lippman will bring Tony Scarpino to fill the slot? I predict that Tony will be even worst than Frank ever was! Tony a real snake!
ReplyDeleteBut if Nicolai is no longer the administrative judge, who will be the top thug in the 9th? Who will ruin the lives of people of don't obey the party faithful? Who will abuse law and order? Who will corrupt the judges who believe(d) in the law and justice" Is the devil available to step in?
ReplyDeleteScarpino could be even worse.
ReplyDeleteNOW WHAT?
ReplyDeleteSo Nicolai steps down. How long before there is justice? How long till he is prosecuted? How long before he will be sentenced? And who will do that? His peers?
AND THEN? Rumor is Scarpino is next? He is from the same mold therefore securing another term for unjust, justice.
Frank Nicolai is a meatball and belongs in jail along with Janet his favorite DA

ReplyDeletesomeone know the real facts about Judge Linda Christopher in Rockland County...............
ReplyDeletePaid off Hack of a Judge
doesn't care about the "Best Intrest of the Children" hasn't got a care about them at all;;;;
She should be thrown off the bench
Judge Linda Christopher of rockland county can not seperate her own hatred for men from her work on the bench.She must be filling a quota of having a fair share of dopes on the bench.
ReplyDeleteIn my case, she completely lied about my testimony, "quoting" me from her "notes." The transcripts show that her "notes" were wrong. She is a lier and a moron.
ReplyDeleteApparently, she got someone's attention. they devoted a whole website to her: www.RocklandFamilyCourt.org
pro pedophile judge that covered up John Walter's arrest for child molestation.

Unfortunately, this animal - Judge Nicolai is still working in Putnam County. He is an disgrace and is playing with people's lives. He must have an unfortunate mental issue; his rulings are based on his mood of the day. Many children have been placed in the hands of the wrong people because of his inability to listen to facts and understand reality.
ReplyDeleteJudge Nicolai is as dirty as they come.
