Grieving daughter rips NYC courts for letting mom’s accused killer free on $5K bail five months before fatal shooting: ‘A f—ing slap in the face’
The New York Post ^ | 11/21/2023 | Jorge Fitz-Gibbon

The grieving daughter of a slain Manhattan woman says it’s “a f—ing slap in the face” that her mother’s accused murderer was allegedly free to kill despite breaking into the victim’s home and attacking her just months earlier.

Natalie Questa said murder suspect Lenue Moore belonged behind bars after allegedly busting into the family’s Washington Heights apartment, breaking her mother’s arm, slamming her boyfriend in the head with a hammer and smashing her in the face.

But Moore, 31, was cut loose on a measly bail in the violent incident — and allegedly returned to the neighborhood some five months later, gunning down Jackie Billini, her friend and her pitbull, Zeus, in what police said was a long-running spat over the dog.

“It devastated us,” Questa, 32, told The Post in a recent interview. “It felt like that was a f—ing slap in the face.”

*** The feud apparently began earlier this year, when neighbors said Moore tried to kick one of Billini’s dogs, upset by their barking. In February, Zeus was stabbed, and Questa said the family suspected, but could never prove, that Moore was to blame.

*** Tensions came to a head on April 11, when Moore allegedly came after Billini’s family, kicking her apartment door in, according to a criminal complaint. ***

Moore was charged with assault and attempted burglary, and Manhattan prosecutors asked that he be held on $15,000 cash bail or a $30,000 bond, arguing that, despite him having no criminal record, the allegations involve “a serious and violent case.”

But Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Melissa Lewis instead set bail at $5,000 in cash or a $5,000 bond — requiring Moore to post just 10%, or $500 to walk free. ***

I think it’s way past time to start holding “judges” responsible for their “mistakes” that are costing people their lives. Throwing a few of those maggots in jail is the only way we’re going to be able to stop their bleeding heart antics.

The reason NYC is letting criminals go free is the same reason they put covid patients into homes for the elderly. They are saving money on budgets for the important stuff...you know, graft.

she probably had ancestors that fought for the union, being from NY, but for the vast majority of blacks, all whites are automatically evil racists.

I wonder why they had pit-bulls. Perhaps needed in the neighborhood. Sad story.

“Moore allegedly came after Billini’s family, kicking her apartment door in...”


In many parts of the country that sort of thing gets you shot. NYC doesn’t allow that sort of thing.

“Criminal Court Judge Melissa Lewis” and her family need to be violently beaten in the streets in the name of restorative justice

What is it, you can’t lock up blacks anymore because “racism”?
This is ridiculous. Violent criminals should be locked up.

Because they can’t have guns? I had a pit because I liked him. He was a good duck dog.

Judge should share a cell with this thug.

I’ll bet if the victims had defended themselves with a gun, they would have been charged and denied bail, even for a lawful shooting.

The best strategy to protect yourself in situations like this is MOVE AWAY. Flee the Democrat hellholes no matter what sacrifice it takes.
