  • Mineo gets what he deserves

    Nada. Nichts. Zilch. Niks. Τίποτα!

    That’s what the lying Mineo gets for his $440 million B.S. lawsuit against the NYPD. Even better, he’s got to pay court fees.

    The jury was deadlocked (11-1, against Kern) on whether Officer Kern brutalized Mineo with a baton.

    From the Daily News:

    Jurors did find Kern liable for malicious prosecution for giving Mineo a summons for marijuana – but Brooklyn Federal Judge Jack Weinstein tossed that.

    The jury also cleared Officers Alex Cruz, Andrew Morales and Noel Jugraj of false arrest and excessive force, denial of medical treatment and malicious arrest.

    Personally, I’d be happy if Kern got something for being a d*ck. But that will probably happen departmentally. I’m more happy that Mineo gets nothing.

    And forgive a small bit of gloating, but I called this one back in 2008. Lucky for me, I just happened to right. At least this time.

  • Officers Acquitted in Mineo “Abuse” Trial

    “We the jury weighed all the evidence and found reasonable doubt.” I’ll say.

  • No Sh*t

    “A doctor testifying for the defense in the NYPD sodomy trial told jurors on Wednesday that the alleged victim’s injuries couldn’t have come from a police baton.
    …
    ‘Do I have an opinion on it? I don’t believe it happened.’”

    Both these quotes are from this Daily News article on Mineo.

  • Good Cop

    I think Michael Mineo is a liar. I’ve said it before here and here and I’ll say it again. The latest is this, “[A police baton] could not have possibly made the hole in this underwear,” said [a defense witness], “This is a square hole.”

    Seems like pretty damning evidence. At the end of an expandable baton is a round little metal ball (which hurts like hell if you get hit by it). It can’t punch out a square hole. (I’d accept a rip, by the way.)

    I suppose your opinion comes down to this: which do you think is more likely? That a cop would stick his own baton up a guy’s ass or that a two-bit idiot would make up a story to win big in a lawsuit against the police. To me, it’s no contest.

    Seemed to me it was a good day in court for these officers. It’ll feel better when the officers get off.

  • Stop Lying

    Stop Lying

    Michael Mineo is lying. I’ve said it beforeand I’ll say it again. That’s what I think.

    So why is a grand jury being started on the case? Does that mean there is truth behind Mineo’s claim? No.

    Here’s what I think is the story. Michael Mineo won’t release his medical records because they don’t support his lies.

    The grand jury is a way to subpoena his medical recordsto show that the cops, good honest cops, did nothing wrong.

    Clever.

  • B.S.

    There’s a story in many New York City papers today about accusations that 5 members of the NYPD stuck something up a guy’s ass ala Louima. Google any NY paper for the details. I’d just like to go on record as saying, “Bullshit. It ain’t true.” Do I know? No. You’ll just have to trust me on this one. Complete B.S. It doesn’t ring true.
