Officer Andrew Kelly Yesterday Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly acknowledged that it will be "impossible" for prosecutors to determine how drunk an off-duty cop was when he fatally ran over a Brooklyn woman Saturday night. The family of Vionique Valnord is outraged that officer Andrew Kelly was able to successfully postpone having his blood tested for alcohol for over seven hours after the accident, and the Internal Affairs Bureau is investigating whether other officers helped him sober up. When finally tested, Kelly scored a perfect zero on the test, making the DWI charges against him problematic.
Commissioner Kelly admitted to reporters that the officer's level of intoxication could never be determined, saying, "It comes a point of time where... apparently it's impossible to do that, but this case is going forward." Andrew Kelly's lawyer insists his client was sober at the time of the accident, and though Kelly allegedly declared that he'd have to be physically restrained before anyone tested his blood alcohol level, his lawyer maintains, "All he wanted was the most accurate form of testing."
If by "the most accurate form of testing" he meant "to beat the charges by abusing his position of power in order to get away with murder", then yeah, that's all he wanted.
Fucking scumbag.
Well, I guess then all is forgiven, eh? I mean, it's not like he's like a regular person or anything, he's a cop. That means he can do whatever he wants to do whenever he wants to do it, talk to people like they are dogs and generally behave as if he owns the city rather than the truth -- the he is an employee, paid by the people he despises.
Including running over and killing people and going scott free!
I don't really have an opinion either way on this case, but how is it that lawyers are always allowed to lie and not get in trouble for it? "the most accurate form of testing"? REALLY?
The naivete is strong with this one.
Anyone, including lawyers, can lie anywhere, anytime and not be punished legally. They just can't do it under oath. If it's proven, it's perjury. And there are consequences for that. But I understand your frustration. That's why the best form of defense to that is to tune out mouthpieces like that. Treat him like the teacher in Charlie Brown. The facts pretty much speak for themselves. But in this case, he's just trying to influence public opinion so that the jury pool won't be convinced of his client's guilt.
thank you, PottyBoy, for that lovely lesson. now go finish your reading for CivPro, you're gonna get cold-called Monday morning, you pretentious little 1L.
What a POS.
hopefully, he'll get his one way or another. I hope it haunts him through his life and he commits suicide.
That would require, like, feeling bad, about killing someone.
This story is just infuriating.
...but geez... you hope "he commits suicide"? WTF, man?
Yeah, suicide is a little unreasonable. This guy shouldn't be allowed to have control over his own life after what he did.
He should be made to stand up and get mowed down by another vehicle.
stone cold cover up. my magic eightball says kelly will face no charges whatsoever and will live out his days in anglo-saxon bliss.
How precisely is Anglo-Saxon bliss different from regular bliss? More v-necks? gin?
'Kelly' is an Irish name, in any case.
Cop justice at work again...
The Blue Wall only cares about its own.
The cops get different rules than the rest of us.
Accept it.
