SI: Judge Deny The Release Of Sealed Records In The Grand Jury Investigation Of Garner’s Death Potentially Aiding DA Daniel Donovans Bid For Congress

In just over a month ‚vot­ers in Richmond coun­ty Staten Island will go to the polls to elect a new rep­re­sen­ta­tive for New York’s 11^th con­gres­sion­al district.
This will be a spe­cial elec­tion to replace dis­graced felon and for­mer Republican Michael Grimm who has plead guilty to a Federal Indictment and awaits sentencing.
Despite being under Federal indict­ment Staten Islanders re-elect­ed Grimm before he was forced to step aside.
Residents of Staten Island are large­ly white and conservative.
The bor­ough is home to a huge num­ber of New York City’s Firefighters and cops.
Staten Island is heav­i­ly repub­li­can and is now derid­ed as the deep south of New York City.

The two men com­pet­ing for the seat once held by Grimm are, Republican Persecutor Daniel Donovan Jr who mis/​handled the Eric Garner case depend­ing on your per­spec­tive, and Democrat Vincent Gentile, a for­mer pros­e­cu­tor him­self and a local leg­is­la­tor. The spe­cial elec­tion is sched­uled for May 5.

In a shock­ing dis­play of pol­i­tics with­ing the crim­i­nal jus­tice sys­tem a Staten Island Judge denied the release of sealed records in the grand jury inves­ti­ga­tion of Garner’s death. This can only be con­strued to be an attempt by the judge to use his office to aid the Republican in secur­ing the seat.

Those famil­iar with the chok­ing death of Eric Garner by rogue cop Daniel Pantaleo will recall inter­est­ed par­ties want­ed no part of Donavan han­dling the case. The Garner fam­i­ly and black activists argued Donovan was par­tial and undu­ly def­er­en­tial to cops.
Donovan’s father was a cop who alleged­ly lost his life to a black assailant.
In his defense Donovan has claimed the loss of his father has not influ­enced his abil­i­ty to be fair.
Those who have seen his career are adamant that he is deeply in the pock­ets of cops and has no inter­est in jus­tice for the black community.

No one knows what is said in grand jury pro­ceed­ings except the peo­ple who are active play­ers in the process.
If Donovan was telling the truth that he would han­dle the case as he would any oth­er, why are they col­lud­ing to hide the facts of that grand jury?
Doesn’t the peo­ple of New York have a right to know?
Doesn’t the Garner fam­i­ly have a right to know that their ser­vant, the pros­e­cu­tor Daniel Donovan did due dili­gence in try­ing to secure jus­tice for them?
Or is it fair to con­clude that Donovan did not do dil­li­gence at all?
Did Donovan seek jus­tice for the Garner fam­i­ly or was he the lawyer ensur­ing that Daniel Pantaleo did not have to answer to crim­i­nal charges for chok­ing the life out of Eric Garner.

There is no ambi­gu­i­ty in this event. Donovan used the peo­ple’s office the way Southern cops, pros­e­cu­tors and judges have against black peo­ple for hun­dreds of years.
What hap­pened on Staten Island should out­rage every­one includ­ing the state Governor.
However it does­n’t, because the Governor of the state is a self serv­ing oppor­tunist whose only care is for his own survival.
Shockingly, what hap­pened to Eric Garner and the Garner fam­i­ly was once though only hap­pened in the deep south.
Interestingly that same crim­i­nal col­lu­sion between cop, pros­e­cu­tor, jurors and judge just hap­pened on the south­ern tip of New York State and no one cares.
So while the white Republican vot­ers of the deep south of New York had their goons kill Eric Garner for alleged­ly sell­ing un-taxed cig­a­rettes, they were quite com­fort­able at the same time with re-elect­ing a com­mon felon to congress.
Additionally their pros­e­cu­tor short-cir­cuit­ed the process to get a killer cop off the hook, while a friend­ly judge uses the pow­er of his office to seal the records, effec­tive­ly ensur­ing his immoral and uneth­i­cal actions does not affect his abil­i­ty to get elect­ed to the US congress..
