In Conspiracy Trial Ex NYPD Detective Goes From Dirty Basement to Cabbage Patch Doll Hair

In Conspiracy Trial Ex NYPD Detective Goes From Dirty Basement to Cabbage Patch Doll Hair by Matthew & Russell Lee, Patreon Substack SDNY COURTHOUSE, March 26 – In a conspiracy trial involving a 2022 shooting in East Harlem, on March 26 the defense launched a series of objections to the testimony of a former NYPD Detective.    As he recounted watching NYCHA video streams at his desk in the precinct and not "in some dirty basement or bodega," the defense objected. Then he described the defendant or person of interest as having "cabbage patch doll" hair and being suspicious because he wore three different coats in one night.    The objections were sustained. When he said unlike the defendant, showing up on an ebike, most delivery people don't go into the housing project because they are afraid of being robbed, both the objection and the "sustained" were more pointed.    Some wondered, didn't the DA's prepare this witness? He is retired now and lives in Orange County. Asked by Judge Laura Ward if he is enjoying his retirement, he said, "Not yet."    The trial continues. *** Your support means a lot.
