Ex- New York FBI agent Lindley DeVecchio, who beat a murder wrap in 2007 after being accused of advising a mob informant to kill four turncoats, is going after the local Brooklyn prosecutors who unsuccessfully went after him, according to the New York Daily News.
In his new book “We’re Going to Win This Thing: The Shocking Frame-Up of a Mafia Crime Buster”, DeVecchio takes a shot at the Brooklyn Distict Attorney Charles Hynes, suggesting he was “always more interested in publicity than doing his job,” and was hoping that prosecuting an ex-agent would promote a novel he’d written, the Daily News reported.
And DeVecchio goes after the controversial frontline local prosecutor Michael Vecchione, who unsuccessfully prosecuted him in 2007, the Daily News reported .The case imploded during trial when it was discovered that a key witness , a gangster’s mistress, was lying. The case was subsequently dropped.
DeVecchio said the trial was set up so that prosecutor Vecchione would be the good Italian and he would be the bad one, the Daily News reported. And he had little good to say about Vecchione.
“Despite having never seen him, I could tell who he was right away,” he noted in his book. “Dark-skinned, vacant-eyed, with an aggressive, bulky body topped by a moon face and a graying crew cut. He always seemed to be on the verge of toppling forward.
“He had one of those rock star beards that never grows more than a quarter-inch and endows the wearer with a degenerate look. Someone should tell him that it looks ridiculous on a middle-aged man with a potbelly.”
A spokesman for the District Attorney’s Office declined comment, the Daily News reported.

What is happening in the Brooklyn courts! Setting up a FBI agent because of a personal vendetta, Threatening a man with a coffee table to testify against an innocent man,(Jabbar Collins case) extorting a Republican Chair-person for an endorsement during election time (John Giuca case). And these are just a few.
Why won't the Feds clean up the Brooklyn courts? Cause they are just as bad I presume? Because the Judges that were in the Brooklyn courts move up to the Federal courts? This has got to end people! There are thousands of innocent people in prison because of our District Attorneys.
