Zisa Wants YOU to Pay for His Lawyer.

August 10, 2010 at 8:33 P.M. Only a few "errors" inserted since this morning. I expected much worse.

Ray Rivera, "In Calm 911 Call, a Killer of 8 Spoke of Wanting to Kill More," in The New York Times, August 6, 2010, at p. A-1. (Multiply this individual by millions.)
Elise Young, "In Troubled Trenton, Takeover Idea Has Appeal," in The Record, August 7, 2010, at p. A-5. (" ... a spike in violent crime, a budget 'short' $60 MILLION and a newly elected mayor [sic.] on the verge of losing his home to foreclosure.")

Monsy Alvarado, "Zisa Sues Union to Cover Legal Costs: PBA Says He Stopped Paying Dues in 1995," in The Record, August 7, 2010, at p. L-1. (Zisa wants N.J.'s honest police officers to pay for his "shenanigans.")
Kebrit Marcos, "9 Years for 'Dirty Cop,'" in The Record, August 7, 2010, at p. L-1. (NYPD cop with Jersey friends "arrested" -- "Chivalry Film Productions"?)
John Brennan, "Xanadu Alcohol Permits to Cost Less: Vendors Not Subject to $500G Borough License," in The Record, August 7, 2010, at p. L-1. (They must've known somebody who knew somebody.)
William Lamb, "Police Charge Passaic Man With Sexual Assault of Girl, 8," in The Record, August 7, 2010, at p. L-3. (Defendant claimed, allegedly, friendships with Diana Lisa Riccioli and former Hackensack Police Chief, Ken Zisa, and may be known, reputedly, as "Zisa's Boy.")

"HACKENSACK -- Deposed Police Chief Ken Zisa has filed a lawsuit seeking to have the police union pay the legal costs associated with defending criminal and administrative charges against him."

Mr. Zisa, despite the allegations of theft through criminal frauds against the insurance companies (it is difficult to feel much sympathy for local insurers who may be bigger thieves than Zisa), wishes to have New Jersey's police union pay his legal fees.

Why should Zisa pay? He didn't do nothing. This attitude is indicative of the sense of entitlement and custom of privilege among New Jersey's political mobsters. They are always outraged by the behavior of others in order to avoid commenting on their own crimes. ("New Jersey's Mafia Culture in Law and Politics" and "Corrupt Law Firms, Senator Bob, and New Jersey Ethics.")

Zisa is alleged to be "connected" to Gambino and Luchese factions of organized crime, although this can neither be confirmed nor denied at this time. Mr. Zisa was police chief for many years in Hackensack, New Jersey. He is one of several local police chiefs indicted in recent years, other top police brass in N.J. has/have been "retired." There may be "reason to believe" that Zisa is "affiliated" with Diana Lisa Riccioli. ("Martin Tacetta Didn't Do Nothing!" and "Trenton's Nasty Lesbian Love-Fest!")

"In the civil suit, filed in state Superior Court in Bergen County, Zisa claims that as a member of Policemen's Benevolent Association Local 9 he is entitled to coverage of his legal defense and related expenses in 'criminal, civil and administrative proceedings.' The suit claims he was 'wrongfully denied' those benefits when he sought them."

Is there a renewed partnership between Mr. Ferreiro (a.k.a. "the Prostitute"), who was recently "sprung from the joint" as they say in New Jersey's Bar Association, and Mr. Zisa (a.k.a. "two-toned shoes")?

It is too soon to tell whether Bergen County's "Abott and Costello" team are back in business.

"A hearing on the matter has been scheduled for Aug. 27[,] before Superior Court Judge Robert Wilson. ["Who knows this Wilson guy?" Zisa is alleged to have asked.] The judge's 'Order to Show Cause' states that union representatives show why the court should not order the defendants to provide coverage."

An Order to Show Cause is brought on "short" notice, usually 24 hours to opposing counsel. The Order may be drafted by counsel for Mr. Zisa, then signed -- usually with modifications by a judge hearing the initial request for argument that is almost always unopposed -- hence, it is somewhat misleading to speak of the judge's "Order to Show Cause."

Determining whether the requested relief will be granted will depend on substantive arguments on the hearing date or on a phone call from a "boss."

A representative of the police union ("Officer Murphy?") suggested that they "had not yet apprehended the perpetrator of this Order to Show Cause, but they were looking into it."

Mr. Ferreiro may be back in the picture orchestrating dirty tricks and political end runs around the Governor and U.S. Attorney with the assistance of Bobby ('the mouthpiece") Menendez. ("Does Senator Menendez Have Mafia Friends?")

Law enforcement looks a little ... shall we say, "flatfooted" in this situation? -- or CORRUPT -- in terms of failing to protect prospective witnesses and/or their family members. I wonder who is "doing favors" for the Jersey Boys? We'll find out. Attacks on these writings are expected to intensify over the next few days.

Stuart Rabner was quoted, allegedly, to say only: "I don't know nothing about nothing." Mr. Rabner may be accurate in this statement. ("Stuart Rabner and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey" and "No More Cover Ups and Lies, Chief Justice rabner.")
