Police Release Slain NJ Priest's 911 Call

NJ State Police released 911 tapes between murdered Chatham, NJ pastor Father Ed Hinds and a 911 dispatcher. Hinds, who was allegedly killed by the church's janitor Jose Feliciano, called 911 from his cellphone; he managed to give his address, but the phone disconnected before the dispatcher could confirm the location. So the dispatcher called back, and on the second attempt, Feliciano answered. The dispatcher asked, "Sir, this is the State Police. You called 911. Do you have an emergency?" and Feliciano responded, "No, we don't. Thank you"—but Hinds' voice is "barely be heard [in the background] saying, 'Yes we do [have an emergency].'''

Cops Made Fake 911 Call to Return to Scene of Alleged Rape

The two cops accused of raping an intoxicated woman placed a fake 911 call in order to give themselves an excuse to return to her apartment and sexually assaulted her after having tended to her on two previous visits. According to the New York Post, prosecutors say that Kenneth Moreno and Franklin Mata (pictured) used a pay phone at First Avenue and East 13th Street to place a 911 call under the name "John Edward." In the call, they complained about a drunk homeless man whom they said was in front of a building two doors down from the victim's residence.

Undercover detective Hispolito Sanchez testified for a second day, with prosecutors playing the 911 call he made on November 25, 2006, the night police fatally fired at Sean Bell 50 times.
