Lawsuit vs. CPD and the City

This is a bunch of B.S. Del fuco is no better then an ambulance chaser after reading the contention and demands. He out of his F'ing mind. His only "witness" is a former CPD leo that changed his account of the incident after being fired for being drunk on duty...good luck with that :roll:

What yr did this take place and was a CPD officer killed in the line of duty?

I have a long retired friend that was there that night and the fallen officer had pulled the suspect over for a minor traffic infraction. apparently he had warrants out of Georgia, panicked and slammed the fallen officer into a palm tree before ejecting himself thru the windshield after hitting another tree. The scumbag that started this thread is just a piece of crap.

Legal guys were laughing their butts off tonight at dinner. Del koo koo as they like to refer to him was trying to bully CPD/City into paying 1 mill for a cop killer who got justice? Dude is whacked out and not even a practicing attorney in Fl. Just looking for a payday from the lives of 2 people who died. POS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Read below and more delusional crap coming from a disgaced US ATT. Jackass - Thankfully the VULTURE is gone looking for other ways to make ill gotten gains :mrgreen:

Last fall, John Niesen of Atlanta, Ga., Michael's brother and a retired private investigator, hired former federal prosecutor Jeffrey Del Fuoco to find some missing witnesses including former police officer Richard Walton who was at the accident scene and whose account contradicts the original reports that say Niesen was unconscious after the accident. Walton says he saw Niesen "largely uninjured" after the crash but in the photographs he saw later, Niesen had "significant wounds".

Del Fuoco, now in private law practice, said it wasn't too late to open an investigation and bring criminal charges in the case.

John Niesen and his mother, Mary Riley, say they've been battling falsified and manipulated reports they say have been perpetuated and restated over the past 29 years to cover up what they say was the murder of the teen by police, those reports being the original police report, the initial autopsy report and three reports prepared by the Pinellas County state attorney's office.

They say that every time they present new evidence and ask to have the case reopened, their efforts are stymied and it has again, probably for the last time.

Last July, when John Niesen approached Gov. Jeb Bush's office with new evidence and asked to have the case reopened, he says associate general counsel Victoria Brennan of the Governor's office told him that his problem was that he refused to accept the prior determinations and that there would be no new investigation, telling him that it just "ain't gonna happen" and that he could go "piss up a rope".

Del Fuoco had threatened to sue the the City of Clearwater for $100 million in a claim that that the police and city violated Michael Niesen's civil rights. As a result of that letter, after years of rejecting Niesen's requests, Clearwater Police Chief Sid Klein asked federal prosecutors to review the case and in particular, the allegations of police misconduct which have been raised.

John Niesen says it's not about money, it's about making "the wheels of justice turn". 3-07-07

BTW he IS vito the investigator - wow, trying to obtain evidence from this site? Dude, look into the nearest looney bin, you money grubbing, delusinal SUCKA :devil:

It's coming up on 34 years since we lost Ron. I know this moron was trying to use his death as a way to collect money but, fact of the matter, we lost one of our own that night. I didn't get to know Ron that well because he was still just a rookie but from all I was told he was a good kid and good officer. Rest in peace, young man.
