They negotiated a one year warranty??? In NYC if a utility company or any company paves anywhere they are responsible for THREE YEARS. Wow - that negotiated warranty is a gem.

I guess he decided that prison was no worse than being a jet.

The man is a total degenerate - he'll fit right in on the city council, notorious for things like forcing staff members to do political work against term limits.

i do not agree that the problem of blight starts with graffiti - it starts with abandoned properties. People squat in them, committ crimes, scare their neighbors, set fires, etc. How many abandoned properties have graffiti on them?

How is it legal to fire someone who has been charged, not yet found guilty of anything?

Do the math: average haul per robbery, $3,002. Grand total: $24018, meaning each guy got 12 grand (forget that one guy did the first alone). Was it worth it? If you get ten years, that's 1200 a year. and the fine could be ten times more than the take. You have to be kidding me.

Well, let's see - how did all those houses get in that condition to begin with?? If they are not owned by the city, then why wasn't someone trying to get after the owners before it got this bad? It is, unfortunately, typically Schenectady to wait this long then whine about the cost. Of course, no politicians or high ranking city officials are likely to live anywhere near these houses. Which probably have rats and vermin as well.

Single practitioners and people in small practices should NEVER take homicide cases pro bono. They are complex and expensive. The client always ends up getting the short end. If you had never tried such a case, why would you do this? From what it sounds, he had no clue how to do any criminal work.
