“”Who throws away a perfectly good handle like this,” said Gartenstein, holding the ax at the beginning of his rebuttal. “Somebody getting away with murder, that’s who.”
Ok Mr.Gartenstein. Let me get this straight.
The shooter threw the axe handle away so he could ‘get away with murder’ as you claim?
Don’t you have that a bit backasswards??
Wouldn’t the one (or friend or family member) with the axe handle throw away the evidence if they were trying to ‘get away’ with something?
Evidence to some of these prosecutors means absolutely nothing.
Good to see the local DA working so hard to get payback against someone who dared to shoot a drug dealer. I mean, where would law enforcement be if citizens got rid of drug dealers? All those forfeitures lost. And all that spare cash.
Oh no. Drug dealers are necessary for the proper functioning of law enforcement.
This happened in my small town. Riccetelli and his brother were,are bad dudes, and my near neighbors. We always got along, but I never was around them where I took my eyes from them.
Riccetelli and Willis ran a drug supermarket for many years, cops did nothing. These guys were cement shoe types from NY and CT. Willis had 2 dump truck loads of high quality indoor grown pot in his house when this happened and has yet to be charged with any crime.
Police around here are a joke, Riccitelli had already burned 2 homes to the ground with his growing operation (lights) and nothing was done.
I’m not defending the guy that shot him, he was a wingnut, unstable and in cahoots, but maybe he did us a favor. It is very charactoristic of george to threaten him, and the axe handle story rings true
