I think the telling statement was that the DA offense has been run by the same person for 30 years - and I think in this case the DA office are the fools - power corrupted this case. Thanks to Bobby, John and Steven who are the true heroes in this story. Too much attention paid to Mr. Bibb who isn't worth the time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4467242822928099777.post-50916047900029852682008-06-24T21:29:00.000-04:002008-06-24T21:29:00.000-04:00A prosecutor starts a case from the information gi...A prosecutor starts a case from the information given to him by witnesses and the police. The DA must have a basic trust of the police, otherwise it can't work.<BR/><BR/>A DA has to take the information on face value and adjust accordingly as the evidence presents itself.<BR/><BR/>There is no reason why a prosecutor shouldn't provide all their case to the defense in a very timely fashion in order for the defense to conduct a proper investigation.<BR/><BR/>Too often, the DA will withold information on discovery, and for Rosario. By definition, Rosario is nothing more than a legal stalling tactic of the DA to put the defense at a great disadvantage. This just plain wrong.<BR/><BR/>Many times the DA will hide witnesses from the defense. Many times the police will 'suggest' to the witness not to speak to the defense or his investigator. As a NYC detective, I never encouraged a witness not to cooperate. The only thing I would advise the witness to do if they chose to speak to the defense is to tell the truth. Don't embellish, don't give opinions, unless asked, but just tell the truth. What are we trying to hide if it is the truth.<BR/><BR/>When DA Morgenthau took office more than 32 years ago he recognized a serious problem with the homicide bureau. He tried to fix it and couldn't. Too much time had passed with the former DA Hogan being ill, and his interim successor in a dog fight for election that the prosecutors in homicide lost their moral compass and started drifting to what we call 'cow-boying'. <BR/><BR/>A DA must be ever vigiliant to keep his 'ship' on a steady and true course. The very best prosecutor is subject to drift if they experience frustrations in the law. Give an inch and even the best of them will take the whole arm. It is a force of nature not specific to law enforcement. <BR/><BR/>So how did Mr.Morgenthau deal with this serious issue? He disbanded the entire homicide bureau and made each ADA responsible to carry out a case to its end in what they called a vertical prosecution. <BR/><BR/>The bond between the homicide prosecutor and the homicide detective is very unique and is unending.No matter where we go, how long we are retired, that bond is never broken.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4467242822928099777.post-58452298503500807032008-06-24T18:55:00.000-04:002008-06-24T18:55:00.000-04:00I think one should read the story very careful bef...I think one should read the story very careful before making critical remarks. ADA Bibb thought there was a bad case. He got permission, or as the article said: carte blanche to do what he had to do. He spent 2 years on the case. <BR/><BR/>His findings were presented to his superiors up the chain of command abnd I am guessing they didn't agree with him.<BR/><BR/>The DA said to take it to the judge. I guess it was a 440 motion. Present it as you would a prosecution - what you have and what you don't have. Then address the new evidence as it is given by the defense. I don't think the DA told him by all means don't blow the case. I think he probably said get to the truth and let the judge take the case on. Only the judge can do a dismissal or order a new trial. all the DA can do is to suggest.He can fight a 440, which is easier for the defense to file an appeal. <BR/><BR/>The door was left open. Mr.Bibb's just went thru like a herd of cattle without looking first.<BR/><BR/>What evidence was witheld? I saw no mention of such in the article.<BR/><BR/>The best DA in NYS is in Manhattan. If you are innocent and charged, then u want it to be in Manhattan. Guilty, you don't want to be there. That is where you have your best chance of justice.<BR/><BR/>Give the old guy a break. He has been there, done that, and has no reason to puff up his record.
