Will Galison Testifying at the Judicial Compensation Hearing 7/20/11

WATCH THE VIDEO HERE

On July 20, 2011, hearings were held in to determine whether New York State Judges should receive a significant pay raise.

Along with 32 others, Will Galison testified before a panel of seven commissioners selected by Governor Cuomo.

Witnesses were allowed seven minutes each to testify if they represented an organization, and three minutes if they spoke as individuals. Galison applied for seven minutes as a representative of the Black Star News and the group he heads called "Citizens Against Judicial Corruption". Despite these affiliations Galison was given three minutes to testify.

The impromptu explanation was that only "heads of organizations" were allowed seven minutes.

Three problems with that explanation are:

1) No provision in the committee's rules required that the representative of the organization must be its "head".

2) Most of the other "representatives" allowed seven minutes were not the "heads" of their organization. For example, Judith Kaye is not the "head" of the Skadden Arps lawfirm where she is employed.

3) Galison is in fact the "head" of the admittedly modest organization "Citizens against Judicial Corruption". There were no criteria regarding the size of an organization in the rules.

So the decision to limit Galison's testimony was capricious at best, and more likely an effort to limit the impact of his statement, which concerns the suspected murder by a NY Supreme Court Judge of a New York citizen who had investigating alleged crimes by the Judge.

Galison said this was relevant to the hearings because there the agency that oversees judicial misconduct is corrupt and cannot separate judges who are worthy of a raise from those who are not, such as the one accused by the murdered man of judicial misconduct.

Statement by Will Galison to the Commission on Judicial Compensation.

Presented at: Special Commission on Judicial Compensation Public Hearing
Wednesday, July 20, 2011, 11:00 AM 
Joint Legislative Hearing Room B, The Roosevelt Room,
Legislative Office Building, Albany, New York


Members of the Panel:

I am here to support pay raises for judges, but only those judges who are in strict adherence to the rules and principles they are vowed to uphold.

Those judges who fail to uphold these rules and principles must not receive pay raises and must be punished for their misconduct.

Therefore, there cannot be pay raises until there exists an honest, effective agency that can determine which judges are doing their jobs properly and which are not.

At this time, no such agency exists.

The purpose of my testimony today is to prove that The Commission for Judicial Conduct is corrupt and dysfunctional and does not serve its function.

To illustrate this dysfunction I will present three examples of judges who have violated judicial rules and criminal laws, and whose misconduct the CJC has corruptly ignored.

The first example is NY Supreme Court Judge Herman Cahn, now retired. Judge Cahn broke judicial rules and criminal laws by withholding unsealed transcripts of a case from a party in that case. A complaint was made to the CJC, who declared simply that that they “found no evidence of wrongdoing”.

The absurdity of that statement is clear to anyone who examines the complaint, which I have submitted to the Committee here today.

The second judge whose misconduct was covered up by the CJC is Chief Judge Jonathan Lippman.  A complaint against Lippman alleging judicial and criminal misconduct was officially submitted to the CJC weeks in advance of the Senate hearings for his Nomination.

This complaint was pending before the CJC during the nomination hearings but the CJC withheld it from the Senate Judiciary Committee so that it could not be considered by the Full Senate in its vote.

The third complaint is not from me but from a friend who could not be here today.

His complaint was made to the CJC and also to the FBI. I quote:

“On January 14, 2009, Judge [Joseph] Golia sent two …detectives from the Queens DA bureau to kidnap me, intimidate me and threaten that if I filed a complaint against [him], I would be in serious danger.

Despite these threats, I filed a complaint with the Ethics Committee of the OCA, alleging that Golia had made substantial misrepresentations on his Financial Disclosure Forms over seven years of reporting.

As a result of my allegations, the Ethics Committee sent Judge Golia…a demand for correction.

On April 9, 2010, I was informed by…the Ethics Committee…that Golia had amended his Financial Disclosure Forms as a result of my complaint…

Making misrepresentations on a Financial Disclosure form is a felony.

I believe that Golia made at least TWELVE… misrepresentations on his… Disclosure Statements,

I assume Golia does not want to go to jail, and he has already threatened me with retaliation if I brought his crimes to the attention of the authorities, which I have done.

I … believe that Golia will …try by any means to prevent me from pursuing this matter and testifying against him.

I believe that my life is in grave danger… having been threatened by a judge with such extraordinary influence over law enforcement and judiciary agencies….

Therefore, I am officially requesting a witness protection protocol [by the FBI] to ensure my personal safety until and while this matter is being prosecuted….

End quote.

That letter was written by Mr. Sunny Sheu, who could not be here today because three days after announcing to the OCA that Golia had lied on his amended financial disclosure form, Sunny was found lying in the street in a coma, and he died hours later.

The Medical Examiner ruled the cause of death as “blunt force trauma to the head with skull fractures and brain injuries” and that the manner of death was “undetermined”.

Under New York law, an undetermined death MUST be investigated, but over a year after his death, Sunny’s death has never been investigated and neither have his allegations of financial disclosure fraud by Golia. Nor have the complaints Sunny made about Golia to the CJC.

I invite your questions.

The Sunny Sheu story w/ Will Galison on THE POWER HOUR

MONDAY – JULY 18 – SPECIAL “Mortgage Fraud” FEATURE:

w. WILL GALISON, witness and DAVID KRIEGER, Foreclosure Crime Specialist

“This is the story of Sunny Sheu
But it coulda been me and it coulda been you
If we don't stand up for what's right and whats true
We're gonna ALL end up like Sunny Sheu”

Musician WILL GALISON shares an extraordinary story of his good friend, SUNNY SHEU, whose home was stolen by mortgage fraud in 2001. Sunny performed due diligence in his 10 year effort to save his property and consequently uncovered major judicial corruption in New York.

Sunny uncovered evidence about the fraud ring, including daming evidence against a prominent NY Supreme Court judge, Joseph Golia. Knowing the import of what he was about to bring forward - SUNNY MADE A VIDEO PREDICTING HIS OWN MURDER AND POSTED IT ON YOUTUBE.

http://www.youtube.com/wat​ch?v=3Tr3QChAy4Y

He also met with FBI agent Rachel Rojas, handing her reams of documentation of the mortgage fraud, and begging her for witness protection. He was ignored.

http://sunnysheu.blogspot.​com/2011/06/letter-from-su​nny-sheu-to-fbi-agent.html

Three days after announcing that he had enough evidence to put the judge in jail, Sunny was found in a terminal coma, on a deserted street miles from his home, his skull crushed from behind.

Hours after his death, the NYPD illegally transported Sunny's body to the Morgue for an instant autopsy, and shortly thereafter the body was cremated on the fraudulent authorization of a party with no relation to Sunny.

But the Queens Coroner did not go along with the NYPD plan. According to the official autopsy report, Sunny was murdered by "blunt force trauma to the head, with skull fractures and brain injuries".

To this day, the NYPD and the New York Hospital insist that he died of an "aneurism" with "not a scratch on his head".

The Coroner also declared the "manner of death" undetermined, meaning that an investigation is mandatory by law.

However, over the past 13 months, no investigation has been launched by city, state or federal law enforcement.

The NYPD continues to violate NY state FOIL law by refusing to release public records regarding Sheu's murder, including the alleged 911 call they claim alerted them to the crime.

Six months after his death, Sunny's house was "returned" to his "estate". No one knows how or by whom.

Will Galison and Milton Alimadi of the Black Star News wrote two articles about the Sunny Sheu for which they received the "Restore Integrity Award" for journalism form the civil rights group POPULAR.

Summary of the story, with links to all the documented evidence supporting it:

The last hour will be open to questions and comments by callers.


ALSO INTERVIEWED: DAVID KRIEGER, Foreclosure Crime Specialist.

DAVID will put the crimes against Sunny Sheu into the perspective of the myriad foreclosure crimes committed daily against innocent homeowners.

DAVID KRIEGER provides information, for educational purposes only, with a timely analysis on the huge mess in the County Recorder’s Office, the gatekeepers on land records, (applies to every state) and how to deal with them!

In addition, an all-out war has begun by the mortgage/banking industry against anyone speaking out on questionable mortgages – they have never been more worried – so please keep marching! This is truly winnable.

THE MURDER OF SUNNY SHEU: Part two of a series, THE COVER UP

http://blackstarnews.com/news/135/ARTICLE/7509/2011-07-09.html

THE MURDER OF SUNNY SHEU: Part two of a series, THE COVER UP

Part two of a series THE MURDER OF SUNNY SHEU: Part two of a series, THE COVER UP By Will Galison Many Mysteries In Death of Judicial corruption foe On the afternoon of Saturday, June 26th 2010, my cell phone rang, and Sunny Sheu’s name flashed on the caller ID. I was relieved to get the call, having been worried about his safety since our last meeting. Three days prior, Sunny, Dr. Sherry Brobowsky and I had visited the Office of Court administration Ethics Department to pick up Judge Golia’s amended financial disclosure form. In front of OCA officials, Sunny brazenly claimed that the amended form constituted proof of felony fraud by Judge Golia. If Sunny’s allegations were founded, Golia could be in deep trouble, and Dr. Sherry and I worried about what might be done to quash Sunny’s efforts. (Judge Golia has declined an interview request from The Black Star News). Now, on June 26th when I lifted the phone and said “Hi Sunny”, it was not Sunny’s voice that answered; the caller identified himself as Officer Ramos of the 109thprecinct in Queens. Ramos told me that a man, tentatively identified as Sun Ming Sheu, had been found in a coma with severe head trauma and was now at the New York Hospital of Queens. My phone number, Ramos explained, was on the speed dial list, and Ramos had dialed the list sequentially, in order to alert Sheu’s colleagues of the injury, and to summon someone to definitively identify the patient. He asked if I could come to the Hospital ASAP. I immediately suspected the worst. I called Dr. Brobowsky, who drove into the city from Yonkers to pick me up and take me to the Hospital.  As I waited for Sherry to arrive, I hastily uploaded the video of Sunny he had made weeks prior on YouTube, praying that Sheu’s prediction of violent retribution had not come to pass. Before entering the hospital, I activated my cell phone video and sound recording app, and positioned the phone in my breast pocket so its camera could capture whatever was to unfold. Sherry and I arrived at the emergency room at 8:15 pm. We were greeted by Dr. Zasheen Ahmed, a 29 year old resident, and an Emergency Room nurse named Laura. The pair stood in front of a closed curtain.  “I’m sorry” Ahmed said, “We just covered him up” The video recorded a silence as the meaning of these words sank in, then Sherry gasped and I cried “no, no, no”. As the initial shock subsided, Dr. Ahmed asked us if we could identify the body. With his hair slicked back and his lifeless eyes and mouth half open, it was not immediately clear that this had been Sunny, but after examining his face and hands, we acknowledged that the body was our friend’s. At Dr. Ahmed’s direction, we wrote down our names and numbers on a blank piece of paper and verbally confirmed Sunny’s identity. Dr. Sherry then asked the doctors what they knew about Sunny’s injuries. Because of the call from Ramos, citing head trauma, Sherry assumed that there were external wounds and fractures. Here's how the conversation went. Dr. Ahmed: "We’ve got a CAT scan of his head. He’s got a massive bleed throughout his brain. It’s called a sub-arachnoid hemorrhage. " Dr. Sherry: "Did you relieve the pressure?" Dr. Ahmed: "No." Dr. Sherry: "Why not?" Dr. Ahmed: "First of all, this wasn’t traumatic most likely, there’s no signs of trauma on his head, there’s no fractures." Dr. Ahmed and Laura went on to say that “there was not a scratch on his head, not a bump, not a lump, nothing”. When asked why Officer Ramos had cited head trauma to four different people, Dr. Ahmed replied,  “sometimes they make mistakes”. Sherry and I then asked Dr. Ahmed if he would speak to us in private.  In a nearby hallway, we told him that we suspected foul play because of the suspicious timing of the death, as well as the death threats he had reported in is video. We asked Dr. Ahmed if he would double check for any signs of trauma, and he agreed that he would, and would let us know if his opinion changed. Before we left, Nurse Laura surprised us by giving us Sunny’s cell phone, wrapped in a plastic evidence bag. Then Sherry and I left the hospital to get some air, and assess the situation. Outside the hospital, Sherry phoned the 109th precinct and asked to speak with the precinct Captain, Chris Austin. Sherry informed Austin of the threats against Sheu’s life and asked Austin to send a detective to take a statement about Sheu. Austin refused and told us to come to the Precinct house to give a statement. At this suggestion we looked at each other and shook our heads. Under the circumstances, we felt it was wiser to decline the invitation. Austin told Sherry his detectives determined there was no foul play; that a witness had seen Sheu fall and that he had suffered no head trauma at all. Sheu died of an aneurism, he told us, echoing Dr. Ahmed. I whispered to Sherry to mention the video Sunny had made, and when she did there was a silence; then Austin yelled:  “Youtube?...it’s on Youtube? Why didn’t he come to us?” Of course, Sunny had gone to the 109th many times, as well as to the Queens DA, the FBI, the CCRB, the Attorney General, Internal Affairs, and the Commission on Judicial Conduct, among others. No one had done a thing to investigate his allegations of death threats against him. Sherry and I reentered the hospital and encountered Dr. Ahmed in the lobby. Spontaneously, he told us that he had been thinking about the earlier conversation, and wanted to reassure us that there was no head trauma. Sherry drove me home and we went over every word, gesture and nuance of the evening. In addition to our grief and disbelief, several things did not sit comfortably with us, particularly the assessment of no head trauma. Why would Officer Ramos make that up? I had strangely conflicting emotions that night. Of course, I was devastated by the loss of my friend, but was there any solace in the notion that he had died “naturally”? If Sunny had died of natural causes- albeit brought on by 10 years of excruciating stress- there could be some relief in the idea that his time had simply come, without a grisly murder or terrifying conspiracy behind his death. On the other hand, it seemed tragically ironic that after years of abuse by the authorities, Sunny should die from "natural causes", while his tormentors carried on without consequence. The next day, Sherry received a call from the ER “Head Nurse” at the Hospital. Sherry was told that she needed to come back to the hospital to officially identify the body again, as the proper identification forms had not been signed. Sherry was also told that she must return Sheu’s cell phone to the hospital at once for “family members”. This was peculiar, as Sunny had no family in the United States that we knew of, and clearly we were the only ones who had identified the body, and were effectively “next of kin”. As Sherry couldn’t get to the Hospital on Monday and I couldn’t get there on Tuesday, Sherry asked if Wednesday would be alright. She was told that the body would certainly be there on Wednesday. On the afternoon of Wednesday June 30, we returned to the Hospital. We were directed to the Admitting office, where we spoke to Ernesto Macaesett, the Supervisor of the Admissions for New York Hospital Queens. Again, I had my iPhone recording the exchange. To our shock, Macasaett told us the body was no longer at the Hospital. “What I can tell you is that [Sheu was] identified by the [109th] precinct” he told us, “and the medical examiner has taken the body…We had the police officer identify the patient, gave us the name, and it was a medical examiner case”. Sherry objected: “There is no officer that knew him…” and Macasaet cut her off, saying, “not that they knew him, I don’t know how [they identified him]… the police officer identified him, I don’t know what documentation he had, but we were given information from the police officer that he was identified.” Macasaet would not divulge the names of the 109th precinct police or the time of day that they had requested the transfer of the body. He only said “Sunday morning”. Information gained later through FOIL requests by The Black Star News showed that the police had arrived at 5:00 on Sunday morning to remove the body, only nine hours after his death. We were stunned. The implications of this development were staggering: Why would police take Sheu’s body from the Hospital at 5:00 AM on a Sunday morning, or have any interest in Sheu’s body when there was no “indication of criminality”? Under what circumstance, if any, can a body, not yet officially identified by next of kin, be legally removed from a Hospital by people who have no relationship to the decedent and no means of identifying him?. How did this “police officer” know what Sunny Sheu looked like in order to “identify” him and what documentation did he provide to prove he could identify him? Macasaet, the Supervisor of Admissions admitted the truth on the recording: “I don’t know what documentation he had”. Not only were the police not allowed to take the body, the hospital had no legal right to release it to them. So where was the body now? Macasaet first told us that the body had been taken to the Manhattan morgue, but a colleague interrupted and told us that it was in fact at the Queens morgue, which made more sense to us. We drove to the Queen’s County Morgue. There we were referred by the receptionist to Deputy ME Corrine Ambrosi, who was from the outset helpful, courteous and forthcoming. She seemed appropriately sympathetic for our loss and eager to help. Ambrosi had been told which case we were concerned about and she held the folder documenting Sheu’s case. My first question was: “Excuse me Doctor, but how did you know that this was Sunny Sheu’s body?” Dr. Ambrosi replied that the file contained the name of the person who identified the body and his relationship to the deceased. She leafed through the folder and  when she reached the pertinent page I noticed her eyes widen. “That’s strange”, she exclaimed “there’s no record of anyone having identified the body”. I am over six feet tall, and standing beside Dr. Ambrosi I could see the pages of the folder as she went through them. At one point I saw a page with the schematic figure of a male body from the rear. At the back of the skull, just above the neck was a dark, vigorously drawn circle in blue ball-point ink, with a line leading from it to the description “4cm”. I cautiously broached the question: “I don’t know if you can tell me but was there any head trauma?" Ambrosi: “I’m not keeping anything from you”. She paused. “Yes there certainly was.” This was the moment I realized we were swimming in very deep water. Why had Captain Austin and Dr. Ahmed denied that there had been head trauma? Officer Ramos, who had clearly reported to Austin, and Dr. Ahmed, had provided the incorrect information. I felt a jolt of adrenaline and discreetly kicked Sherry’s leg as Dr. Ambrosi continued to flip through the pages of the autopsy report, suddenly appearing a bit more subdued.  My Call to the Medical Examiner I now realized that I possessed information that could implicate some individuals in foul play in connection with Sunny Sheu's death. After about a week, I called Dr. Michael Greenberg, the Medical Examiner who performed the autopsy. At the time I called, Dr. Greenberg had already officially determined the “manner of death” as “natural”. As opposed to the “cause of death” which describes the physical means of a death --eg: stabbing, shooting, trauma, heart attack etc.-- the “manner of death” describes the legal status of the death. The categories of “Manner of Death” include natural, accidental, homicidal, suicidal and “undetermined”, if none of the above could be immediately established. The significance of the “manner of death” determination is that under New York law An “Undetermined death” has to be investigated, whereas a “natural death” is not. Here's how my conversation with Greenberg went: Me: “What happened to [Sunny Sheu]?”” Dr. Greenberg: “From what I understand, he collapsed and struck his head on the ground, which resulted in bleeding around the brain." Me: “Is it possible that he was struck on the head before he fell to the ground?” Dr. Greenberg: “According to the police report that I got, he was witnessed and just collapsed… but from the autopsy itself it was impossible to tell how the injuries were sustained. It was consistent with him collapsing on the ground, but if I didn’t have this witness story, I probably would have left it undetermined for now." Me: "So if there hadn’t been a witness, it would be an open question as to what happened?" Dr. Greenberg: Right, Yeah, Right. The “police report” or ”witness story” that convinced Greenberg to initially determine that the death was “natural”, was later acquired by The Black Star Newsthrough a FOIL request to the Medical Examiner --the same document was denied to The Black Star by the NYPD. The “report” was actually a note, written by the NYPD liason to the Medical Examiner’s office, Detective Grant, attributing the information to Chris Austin, Detective and then Captain of the 109th precinct. It read: THE UNDERSIGNED [Detective Grant] CONFERED WITH DET AUSTIN 109th PCT SQUAD. He reports that the decedent was witnessed to collapse at the above location. THE 911 CALLER WAS INTERVIEWED BY EMS AND POLICE OFFICERS. THE 911 CALLER STATED THAT THE DECEDENT WAS WALKING WITH A PEDOMETER IN HIS HAND WHEN HE COLLAPSED. THE SQUAD IS HOLDING THIS CASE AS AN ACCIDENT WITH NO CRIMINALITY. So the 109th precinct had concluded that there had been "no criminality." Yet, as Dr. Greenberg himself admits, it was precisely the memo from Austin that led to his initial determination of “natural death”.  Perhaps my questions made Greenberg reassess his conclusion, because days after the conversation Greenberg changed his determination of the manner of death; from “natural”, which requires no investigation, to “undetermined”, which under New York law requires an investigation. The report from Austin to the ME raises a host of difficult questions not yet answered by Captain Austin and the NYPD: Who is this witness that called 911 and was interviewed by EMS and police officers? Why won't police supply this witness' name to The Black Star after the newspaper requested it through FOIL? Even the intensely personal 911 calls made by the victims of 9/11 are available to public, because that is what the law requires. It surely can't be on account of an ongoing criminal investigation, because the Grant note, attributing the information to Austin, specifically states that there is “no criminality”. Why is the NYPD refusing to release the identity or interview of this witness? If a witness had been there, how would the police know that the witness didn’t see Sheu collapse moments after being struck on the head? What's more, how was the witness cleared by the police of a possible role in Sheu's death? Furthermore, how could Austin say that “the squad is holding the case as an accident with no criminality” when no investigation had been conducted? There are other glaring inconsistencies. “Time of the injury” was recorded at “18.15”, which is 6:15 pm. But the first call Officer Ramos made from Sunny’s phone was at 4:29 PM, reporting that Sheu had suffered “head trauma”.  A typographical error, or did Ramos know about Sheu’s injuries nearly two hours before the 911 call? When I spoke by telephone to a Detective Ardisano at the 109th precinct over two weeks after Sheu’s death, he said was unaware of the incident I was referring to. Clearly, Austin had never consulted Detective Ardisano, who is on the homicide squad, so he cannot truthfully claim that "the Squad is holding this as an accident with no criminality.” When Ardisano looked up the case, he said the records showed that Sheu died “naturally” of an “aneurism”, with no head trauma, and that no witness was mentioned. I asked Ardisano: “If the M.E. had discovered that something had happened to him, like trauma, would they have reported that back to you.” Ardisano: “They would have to” Me: “right away?” Ardisano: “Yeah” It was clear to me that Ardisano was “out of the loop”. Had he been involved with  a cover up he would not have  contradicted his Captain’s account of Sheu’s death. Later, when The Black Star News’ Milton Allimadi reached Dr. Ahmed by phone, he made a stunning revelation, as Allimadi recounts. Allimadi: “Do you believe there was foul play involved?” Dr. Ahmed: “Yes.” Dr. Ahmed also confirmed to Allimadi that there had been head trauma. He declined to elaborate, citing patient’s privacy, and referred Allimadi to a hospital spokesperson who wouldn’t respond to a question about why the body was released to the police. This is the time for Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly and Mayor Michael Bloomberg to become involved in this matter. The Black Star News sent a letter via certified mail receipt to Commissioner Kelly raising questions about the Sheu case and also copied the mayor. The newspaper has yet to receive a response. Part three to come: Who authorized the hasty cremation of Sheu's body?  Who now owns the house wrongfully taken from Sheu -- a house that may have cost him his life in the end?

THE NEW YORK FBI HAS REFUSED TO INVESTIGATE THE MURDER OF SUNNY SHEU OR THE COVER UP BY NYPD AND OTHERS

Link: Galison Call to Agent Rojas requesting investigation of the Murder of Sunny Sheu

LINK: Galison call to Janice Fedarcyk: 

Assistant Director of the New York FBI

Perhaps the most shocking and most sinister aspect of the saga of Sunny Sheu is the failure of any law enforcement agency to investigate the murder.

Because Sunny's death was ruled "Undetermined" by the Queens Medical Examiner, an investigation is required by State law, yet NY law enforcement have chosen to break the law by refusing to investigate. 

When State law enforcement breaks a law, it is called "crime under color of law" and that crime is covered by RICO and is under the jurisdiction of the FBI.

http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/investigate/civilrights/color_of_law

But the FBI has REFUSED to investigate the crimes of the state law enforcement. 

When the FBI refuses to investigate crimes by state law enforcement there is no recourse except the fury of the people. 

It is a matter of fact that Sunny's murderers are being protected by the NYPD (including its Commissioner Ray Kelly) , the New York Hospital of Queens and the Queens District Attorney's office, and that these agencies are being protected by the FBI.

We must make sure that the FBI is not protected by the American people's apathy.

Sunny Sheu's murder was a state sponsored assassination, with a state (federally) sponsored cover up.

If they get away with this one, the next victim may be me, you or your loved ones. This cannot stand.

Sen. Adams met with Will Galison, Elena Sassower and Sunny Sheu on April 30th, 2010, just seven weeks before Sunny's murder. Sunny told Adams about the threats against him by the NYPD and the corruption of Judge Golia in regard to the mortgage fraud.

In response In response, Adams personally asked Sunny to write an "action plan" for his senate judiciary committee- a patently ridiculous request.

Here is a recording of our meeting with Eric Adams:

On July 10th, 2010, Galison asked Adams to write a letter to the FBI, urging an investigation (see below).

The letter Adams wrote was illiterate, ineffectual and factually entirely wrong.

The letter of August 13th, is my response to Adams regarding his letter.

This shows that Adams had no will to further the investigation of Sheu. His letter to the FBI was so weak that it actually undermined the argument for an investigation.

Upon receipt of this letter, Sen Adams never amended his letter to the FBI and never responded to this or subsequent communications.

Dear Senator,

Thanks for your time this morning. I am glad that you appreciate the urgency of this situation.

Here is an outline of the Sunny Sheu case:

1) Sunny was the victim of mortgage fraud, in which a forged deed was used to acquire a fraudulent mortgage on his house. The details of that story were exposed in the Blackstar News:

http://www.blackstarnews.com/news/124/ARTICLE/5904/2009-07-29.html

2) Sunny was illegally detained and threatened by two DA Bureau NYPD detectives and intimidated as described in his letter to the FBI. The detention was confirmed in writing by Captain Ge of the 109th and Golia's law clerk Kaufmann, although they contradicted each other in whether there was a charge placed against Sunny. In any case, it has never been disclosed under whose authority Sunny Sunny was detained and there is no record of any criminal complaint.  

3) Sunny contacted the FBI for protection. Sunny also appealed to Senator Sampson's office and wanted to testify at the Judiciary Committee Public hearings. 

4) Sunny made a video claiming that if anything bad happened to him it would be at the hands of "Golia and his people"  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Tr3QChAy4Y

5) On Saturday,June 26th at approximately 4:10, Sunny was brought into NY Queens hospital in a coma. He died at approximately 8:00.

6) Officer Ramos of the 109th  told at least two people that Sunny had "head trauma"

7) The Doctor, Zeeshan Ahmed, said the cause of death was severe brain hemorrhage

8) According to the Linda Early of NY Hospital, Queens, Saturday,The body was removed at 12:00 Sunday, 6/27 after a visit by "several police officers"

9) At that time, the  body was "identified" and "signed out" by a police officer whose name was the hospital would not reveal.

10) The body was sent to the Queens Morgue where an autopsy was conducted before Wednesday 7/1

11) Deputy Medical Examiner, Dr.Corrine Ambrosi confirms that Sunny DID suffer serious head trauma.

12) Dr. Ambrosi confirms that the name of the party that identified the body had not been entered on the form, which was unusual, and that the certificate of death had not been signed by the Doctor.

13) As of 7/8, the 109th precinct denies that there was head trauma, and is treating Sunny's death as a natural death, with no investigation pending.

My colleagues and I have documentation for all of the above. 

There needs to be an immediate investigation of this matter, before the body is disposed. Two weeks after Sunny's death, the FBI has not even collected Sunny's cell phone, and they have not yet contacted me, even though I visited the FBI with Sunny, spoke to Sunny the day before his death, and was the first person to identify his body, etc. One thing is clear, FBI has been totally incompetent, disinterested or complicit in this matter, so simply mentioning this to them will not suffice. You must demand an investigation, and be kept apprised of its process. 

By the way, the new head of the FBI for New York City will be Agent Janice Fedarcyk, presently of the Philadelphia bureau. She will be active New York in August. I am forwarding a copy of this message to her. 

My colleagues and I look forward to being kept informed.

Thank you,

Will Galison

Dear Senator,

Following our conversation of Saturday, 7/10/10[1], you offered to write a letter to the FBI, urging them to investigate the apparent murder of Mr. Sunny Sheu, a witness at your hearings on judicial corruption.

In our conversation, I informed you that Sunny Sheu had been found dead of a blow to the head after reporting death threats from two NYPD detectives by order of New York Supreme Court Judge Joseph Golia. I also reported that there is a documented cover-up by NYPD police regarding the circumstances of Sunny’s death. I offered you documented evidence of all the facts disclosed, and sent you various audio recordings verifying those facts.

Specifically, I disclosed that:

1) in a letter sent to the FBI[2], a video made weeks before his death [3], and his written testimony to your Judiciary Committee[4], Sunny warned that his life had been threatened by New York Supreme Court Judge Joseph Golia and his subordinates.

2) Captain Ge of the 109^th precinct[5] and Judge Golia’s clerk Mitchell Kaufman[6] confirmed that two DA bureau detectives illegally detained Sunny and interrogated him against his will for two hours.

3) according to Sunny’s letters, testimony and video, during the illegal detention the detectives told him that if he went to the press or filed complaints against Judge Golia he would be killed. [7]

4) According to a recording made in the Office of Court Administration at 2:24PM on June 23^nd, 2010 Sunny announced that he had acquired sufficient evidence to prove that Judge Golia had made fraudulent filings on his financial disclosure forms, which is a felony. [8]

5) According to detective Chris Austin of the 109^th precinct[9], at about 4:00 PM on June 26^th, 2010, Sunny was found on a secluded street in a coma, and taken to the New York Queens Hospital where he died hours later.

6) Michael Greenberg the Medical Examiner who autopsied Sunny’s body has determined that Sunny died from a brain hemorrhage resulting from a violent blow to the head consistent with a blow from a weapon or a fall. He said it was impossible to tell from the autopsy which had occurred.

7) there is a cover-up by police at the 109^th precinct, who:

a)    falsely stated that there was no injury to Sunny’s skull, in direct contradiction to the Medical Examiner’s autopsy report which showed “severe head trauma”.[10]

b)    refused to release the pertinent 911 call tapes to investigative journalists in violation of New York State’s Freedom of Information “Sunshine” Laws[11]

c)    denied the existence of the police report that the Medical Examiner says he was given by police.[12]

d)     fraudulently “Identified’ Sunny’s body and had it removed from the hospital hours after his death, before the body could be identified by his next of kin, in flagrant violation of hospital rules and state and federal law.[13]

e)    refused to disclose who identified Sunny’s body and why they did it, when there is no criminal investigation pending.

f)      Refused to investigate the death of Sunny Sheu in violation of police practice to investigate any death of a person under 65 of apparently natural causes.[14]

g)    Refused to take a statement from Sunny’s colleagues regarding the alleged threats made against him.[15]

h)    Refused to investigate even though the M.E. determination has been officially changed from “natural” to “undetermined”

Furthermore, I explained that this apparent murder has enormous political ramifications as it appears to be a state sponsored assassination, committed, aided and abetted by the President of the New York Supreme Court Judges Association, the Queens District Attorney’s Office, and officers of the 109^th Precinct.

The FBI agent who was investigating Sunny Shue’s allegations of kidnapping and threats is Supervising Special Agent Rachel. Agent Rojas has informed Sunny’s colleagues that an investigation is underway, but so far the FBI has:

a) failed to interview the colleagues who saw Sunny last alive and who first identified his body.

b) neglected to pick up Sunny’s cell phone- a key piece of evidence which was given to Sunny’s colleagues by the hospital staff- despite having promised to pick it up immediately after Sunny’s death.

c) refused to return calls by colleagues of Sunny Sheu who are offering testimony regarding the case.

It was because of this apparent inaction by the FBI that I asked you to urge the FBI to conduct a rigorous and immediate investigation of the case.

In light of the information I disclosed to you in our conversation of, the letter sent by your office to the FBI is inadequate in many respects. The language of your letter so poorly represents the import of our conversation, that I must assume it was not written by you, but by a subordinate who misunderstood the urgency of the matter.

Your letter states:  "…according to Mr. Galison, [Mr. Sheu suffered] severe head trauma and a massive brain hemorrhage.”  

The assessment of Sunny’s injuries is not “according to Mr. Galison”, but according to Dr. Michael Greenberg, the official NY State Medical Examiner who autopsied Sunny’s body. More crucially, Dr. Greenberg stated that Sunny died of a brain hemorrhage CAUSED by a violent blow to the head.

Dr. Greenberg further stated that without further investigation it was impossible to determine whether the blow to the head was caused by a unexplained fall or by a weapon. He claims that his sole basis for citing a fall rather than a violent murder is an alleged “police report” allegedly furnished by alleged police agents.

However, this basis is highly dubious on the grounds that:

a)    The police have told at least four investigative journalists that NO POLICE REPORT EXISTS.

b)    It was improper for the police to influence the determination of the Medical Examiner by introducing unverified and uninvestigated allegations.

c)    The police report depends on the testimony of an alleged “lady who allegedly saw [Mr. Sheu] fall, but no “lady” has been identified, and there has been no investigation of the accuracy of the alleged “lady’s” testimony, if she in fact exists.

d)    No reason is given or postulated regarding the cause of the alleged fall that allegedly led to the blow to the head

e)    According to the The UCLA Center for Autonomic Disorders, the chances of dying from a fall due to fainting is about one in five thousand.

f)      The police continue to contend publicly that there was no blow to the head.[16]

g)    Your letter states: "Mr. Galison reports that his friend had been troubled by “threats that had been made on his life by a Supreme Court judge".

It is misleading to assert that “William Galison reported these threats”, when Mr. Shue reported the threats himself, in a letter to the FBI, a video published on Youtube, in his written testimony to your Judiciary Committee's hearings on judicial corruption. In fact, Mr. Sheu told YOU, Senator Adams, personally about the threats against his life, IN PERSON at our meeting at your Brooklyn office on April 30^th, 2010.

Sunny steadfastly maintained that he was harassed and threatened with death if he went to the press or complained about Judge Golia and neither Captain Ge, Clerk Kaufman nor anyone else has offered any alternative explanation for the two hour detention.

To find out the names of the detectives that abducted him, Sunny appealed to to the CCRB, NYPD Internal affairs, the CJC, the OCA, the Queens DA office, Senator John Sampson’s office, the FBI, and the NY Federal Prosecutor, but all of these entities illegally deprived him of this information for over three years. Certainly, many people were covering up the facts of this incident in order to protect Judge Golia and his henchmen.

Most conspicuously, your letter fails fail to mention the name of the Judge Mr. Shue specifically accused of threatening him; Joseph Golia.

The judicial corruption, harassment and abuse against Sunny by Judge Golia a matter of record and of urgent concern to your Judiciary Committee. Moreover, three days before Sunny’s death, Sunny obtained the amended financial report of Golia and announced to the OCA that he had sufficient evidence against Golia to put him in jail.

Sunny Sheu appealed to the police, the FBI and your committee for protection from Golia and his men, but his pleas were ignored.

By failing to name Golia in your letter, you deprive the FBI of the ability to check for other complaints and investigations related to him. It is likely the FBI has many complaints pending against Golia, which would show a pattern.

It is a matter of police procedure that any ostensibly “natural death” such as heart attack or stroke in a person less than 65 years of age is immediately considered suspicious and is investigated as such.

Finally, there are numerous highly suspicious circumstances  around Mr. Sheu’s death.

Anoter troubling aspect of your letter is that you say the letter is written “on behalf of William Galison”. To write on behalf of someone else means that you are conveying their concerns and not your own. If this matter concerns you personally, as it surely does, you must write the letter on your own behalf:

as a State Senator, concerned that a citizen has been killed under highly suspicious circumstances with apparent complicity by the police;

as a member of a committee on judicial corruption, concerned that Sunny named Judge Joseph Golia as his probable murderer;

as a former police captain, that your colleagues are breaking the law;

as a citizen of New York State, and a father and husband, it must concern you that no investigation has been conducted;

The letter should also be written n behalf of the people of New York, and most importantly on behalf of Sunny Sheu who risked his life and possible gave his life, so that he could uncover and testify about the corruption of the President of the New York State Association of Judges, the same man who is asking you for millions of dollars in salary raises.

Finally, you should be concerned that the rest of the testifiers might be in similar danger.

It is not yet determined that Sunny was murdered by Golia, the facts and evidence all support that conclusion.  If every murder was an obvious case, we would need no FBI, or criminal court system.

Here are some of the open questions regarding his death and its aftermath:

1)    Why did “three or four” police come to hospital admissions the morning after Sunny’s death to identify remove the body from the hospital?[17]

2)    Who were these policemen?

3)    Why did the police violate hospital policy and New York State law by identifying and removing the body before next of kin was notified?[18]

4)    Who was the policeman that identified Sunny’s body?

5)    How did the policeman that identified Sunny’ s body know what Sunny Sheu looked like?

6)    What relationship did the policeman that identified Sunny’s body have to Sunny?

7)    Why did the policeman that identified Sunny Sheu’s body violate Medical Examiner policy by refusing to identify himself on the identification form?[19]

8)    What “police report” was provided to Medical Examiner Greenberg, while claiming publicly that no medical report exists?[20]

9)    Why do the police claim that no police report exists when in contradiction of the M.E’s testimony?

10)                   Who is the “lady” who reported seeing Sunny “fall”

11)                  To whom did this lady report seeing Sunny Fall?

12)                  What record exists of the lady’s testimony? Is thIs report in writing? is it a 911 call?

13)                  What corroborating evidence was collected regarding the accuracy of the lady’s testimony?

14)                  Were neighbors in the area interviewed?

15)                  If the lady reported Sunny’s fall, why is this 911 recording being withheld from the public in violation of New York State freedom if information laws.?

16)                  Who brought Sunny to the NY Queens Hospital; EMS, Police? What are the names of EMS or police personnel?

17)                  What record did these personnel provide concerning the circumstance of Sunny’s transfer from the scene of the fall to the hospital.?

18)                  What record did these personnel provide regarding Sunny’s condition when they found him.?

I thank you for your careful examination of this letter and I hope it will inspire you to write a more forceful and committal letter the FBI and other proper authorities.

Sincerely,

Will Galison
