MIDDLETOWN PRESS REPORTS KILLER, DAVID MESSENGER, GRANTED CONDITIONAL RELEASE!

Brian Zahn of "The Middletown Press" reports as follows:
"MIDDLETOWN >> The Psychiatric Security Review Board today approved a conditional release request filed by a team working with David Messenger, who bludgeoned his pregnant wife Heather to death with a 4-by-4 and fireplace poker in front of their then 5-year-old.
Conditional discharge means Messenger, formerly of Chaplin, where the crime took place, has been removed from Connecticut Valley Hospital’s oversight, although he is still under the legal jurisdiction of the PSRB. 
PSRB Executive Director Ellen Lachance said Friday the vote was 5-0.
However, board members did reject a proposal to allow Messenger, who wears a GPS tracker, to leave Hartford County..."

FURTHER DETAILS ON AADEN MORENO'S DEATH AND THE ARRAIGNMENT OF KILLER DAD TONY MORENO!

Shawn R. Beals and Alaine Griffin of "The Hartford Courant", along with David Owens and Nicholas Rondinone report as follows:

MIDDLETOWN — Denise Moreno was awakened Sunday night by a frightening phone call from her son Tony, who asked her to come to the Arrigoni Bridge.

She could hear her 7-month-old grandson, Aaden, crying. Tony told her to come collect a phone with pictures of the baby, and to "just tell everyone I'm sorry."

Denise Moreno got in the car with her other son, Aaron, and raced desperately to the bridge as she called 911. Once on the bridge, they saw Tony standing alone near the railing, and within seconds two police officers arrived, according to a police affidavit.

One of the officers shouted to Tony, telling him to stop, but he kept walking. He put both hands onto the bridge railing and hurled himself into the Connecticut River below.

CT FOX NEWS PUBLISHES TEXTS EXCHANGED BETWEEN TONY MORENO AND ADRIANNE OYOLA MINUTES BEFORE AADEN'S DEATH BUT STILL FAILS TO GET THE POINT!

CT FOX NEWS REPORTS AS FOLLOWS:
"MIDDLETOWN–The arrest warrant charging Tony Moreno with murder in the death of his son, Aaden, shows a turbulent* relationship between him and the 7-month-old’s mother in the minutes, days, weeks and months leading up to Tony’s suicide attempt and Aaden’s death.
Adrianne Oyola, Aaden’s mother, told officers when they interviewed her following the incident that she had lived with Tony, his mother and his brother from February 2013 to June 17, 2015, and that in the months leading up to her moving out the couple was not getting along..."

*In fact, CT FOX news statements are incorrect.  This was not a "turbulent" relationship which implies mutuality.  In using this term and implying mutuality, CT FOX news is attempting to cover up for Judge Barry Pinkus who could have saved Aaden Moreno's life, but decided not to.  Judge Pinkus' excuse was that the antagonism between Tony Moreno and Adrianne Oyola was mutual when, in fact, it was not, i.e. "The problem is just that you two don't get along."  

The reality is that what Adrianne Oyola described and what the texts between the two of them reveal is a situation where Tony Moreno was incredibly abusive, and that abuse escalated predictably when Adrianne attempted to free herself from that abuse.  CT FOX news should be ashamed of its bold faced attempt to cast blame on Adrianne and imply a mutuality which simply did not and does not exist.  

Adrianne did not do anything wrong.  

In fact, she did everything right by reporting the abuse, by seeking a restraining order against the abuse, and by doing what she could to work with the father, Tony Moreno, when everything else failed.  Adrianne Oyola is a courageous woman who deserves every bit of sympathy and respect that we can give her.

TWO MURDERS, A MOTHER, A FATHER, AND TWO SEPARATE STORIES!

Take a look at this June 16, 2015 Hartford Courant report on an East Haven mother who killed her children (See below).  Clearly, there is no problem about stating mother killed the children.

"A pastor cited "evilness" in the world as nearly 200 people gathered Tuesday for the funeral of two young siblings who authorities say were killed by their mother and found dead in a home filled with natural gas."


In contrast, take a look at the June 8, 2015 Hartford Courant report of the Middletown father who killed his child (See below).  We have Tony Moreno on the bridge.  Moreno was with the baby--nobody else in sight!  The 7 month old baby dropped to his death from the bridge.  Who did it?  Kasper the Friendly Ghost? 


"The father who was with his baby when the 7-month-old dropped to his death into the Connecticut River was arraigned Wednesday on murder and capital felony charges at Hartford Hospital."

Note: The Hartford Courant article I took the quotation from immediately above has now been removed and replaced with another article at the identical link.  So I no longer have a copy of the article with the above quotation available. Glad to see The Courant has corrected its mistake.  


HARTFORD COURANT REPORTS TONY MORENO CHARGED WITH CAPITOL MURDER!

Shawn R. Beals and Alaine Griffin of The Hartford Courant, with help from Christine Dempsey, report as follows:


"MIDDLETOWN — The father who was with his baby when the 7-month-old dropped to his death into the Connecticut River was arraigned Wednesday on murder and capital felony charges at Hartford Hospital.

[Sloper observation:  Yup, Moreno just happened to BE WITH the baby when it DROPPED--The Hartford Courant has no idea how, I guess.]

State judicial officials say Tony Moreno was arraigned, but Middletown police declined to say what he's been charged with. Police said they would be holding a press conference later Wednesday.

A source familiar with the investigation said Moreno was arraigned on the charges of murder and capital felony with bail set at $2.1 million. He was also charged with two counts of violation of a restraining order, apparently related to a temporary restraining order that was issued in June. Capital felony can be charged for a murder of a victim under 16.

Moreno, 22, was rescued from the river after jumping Sunday night. He was airlifted to Hartford Hospital..."

BARRY GOLDSTEIN (NJ) TO SPEAK REGARDING AADEN MORENO ON CHANNEL 8 AT 11:00P.M.!

FACE BOOK COMMENTS BY ELIZABETH RICHTER.


For those who are interested, Barry Goldstein will be on Channel 8, WTNH news this evening at 11:00pm to talk about the murder of Aaden Moreno. I hope everyone will take a moment to switch on their TVs and listen to Barry's remarks. The State of CT needs to learn from this completely unnecessary death and not sweep it under the rug. We must hold our representatives responsible for this terrible tragedy. We testified in droves last year about judges behaving exactly with this kind of indifference and disrespect in response to our pleas on behalf of our children and in return Senators and Representatives laughed at us and ridiculed us as "angry" and "disgruntled" and attempted to slander our spokesperson, Rep. Minnie Gonzalez. This is the end result of that kind of irresponsible and disrespectful behavior at a time when concerned citizens of CT sounded the alarm and warned Representatives that this day was coming.

HARTFORD COURANT REPORTS AADEN MORENO'S BODY HAS BEEN FOUND.



"MIDDLETOWN — A Superior Court judge said he was not convinced the father of a Middletown, Conn. infant missing since Sunday posed a physical threat to his family when he rejected the mother's request for a restraining order last month.

Late Tuesday, state police said an infant's body was found in the Connecticut River near the Salmon River boat launch in East Haddam. But police said they could not confirm it was the body of the missing child.

Judge Barry C. Pinkus told Adrianne Oyola, 19, and her 21-year-old boyfriend, Tony Moreno, that their testimony at a June 29 hearing showed there was "chaos" in their relationship but that Moreno was not an "imminent" threat, transcripts obtained by The Courant indicate.

"I'm just not convinced that there's a continuous threat of present physical pain of physical injury," Pinkus said at the hearing. "I think the two of you don't have a good relationship."..."

IN BABY AADEN CASE, THE HARTFORD COURANT WOULD RATHER MANGLE THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE THAN TELL THE TRUTH!

"The baby did not plunge; he was thrown!"

We now all know the story.  Last Sunday night, Tony Moreno, 22, made a suicide jump from the Arrigoni Bridge taking his 7 month old little boy--Aaden Moreno--along with him.  

As it turned out, Moreno survived the jump, but not his little boy, Aaden.

While rescue teams search the river for Aaden's body, news reports from "The Hartford Courant", indicate that weeks before this incident the little boy's mother, Adrianne Oyola,  asked a Connecticut Family Court judge, Judge Barry Pinkus, for a restraining order against the child's father because she feared for the safety of the boy and herself.

More specifically, "The Hartford Courant" stated: "Court records indicate there is an open child custody case involving Aaden's parents. The records show the baby's mother, Adrianne Oyola, applied for a restraining order against Moreno on June 17 because she feared for her child's and her own safety. Oyola wrote in the application that she and Moreno were happy until she became pregnant, but he began to verbally abuse, threaten and push her.

"He has told me he could make my son disappear any time of the day," she wrote. "He told me how he could make me disappear told me how he could kill me. I sometimes am scared to sleep. He told me he would put me in the ground and put something on me to make me disintegrate faster."

"I can't bring [the baby] around my family without [Moreno's] approval, but he could do anything he wants without letting me know," she wrote. "I feel that he is a danger to my child and me and would like to leave with my child and get full custody."

Unfortunately, Judge Pinkus refused to grant her a restraining order and now the child is dead.

In the aftermath of this incident, I have been indignant about the coverage that "The Hartford Courant" has provided.  Specifically, in its earlier reports, the Courant failed to indicate the name of the judge who had denied Ms. Oyola a restraining order.  


When I asked Christine Dempsey, one of the lead reporters on this story, what was the name of the Judge, she responded that she did not know.  This is hardly credible granted that it is clear that "Hartford Courant" reporters reviewed the files in the case and quoted from the Motion For a Restraining Order which the judge was required to sign in order to deny it.  

Why would "The Hartford Courant" seek to suppress this information?  Perhaps a little thing called the Judicial - Media Committee, about which this blog has previously reported, played a role?  Who knows! 

It was only upon the report of Mr. Jason Newton of Channel 8 WTNH news that we were finally able to obtain the judge's name.

As it turned out, the name of the judge--Judge Barry Pinkus--was of great interest to the general public because this was the very same judge who ordered that killer Joshua Komisarjevsky, the man who raped and murdered the Petit family women, be granted full custody of his young daughter.  Thus, here is a judge whose decisions have already been called into question, and this should be duly noted.

Not only did "The Hartford Courant" attempt to protect the identity of the notorious judge involved, it also used language in its headlines and elsewhere that appeared to shift responsibility from the perpetrator to the victim, or at the very least imply a neutrality that had no appropriate place in reports of this incident.  

For instance, here is one:  "Mother of Baby Who Plunged Into River Feared For Child's Safety, Records Show!"  If you were casually scanning the newspaper and read that headline, you'd never think that a father was involved in this situation at all!  From the way it is written, it would appear that the mother plunged into the river and now the records show she feared for her baby.  So?

Next, if you look at how the headline is written, it seems as though the baby simply tossed himself into the river -- no father involved.  To understand what I mean, just see the structure of the headline itself: [The] baby...plunged into [the] river.  Right.  Isn't that what the sentence says?  The baby plunged, i.e. subject and verb, the baby took action by plunging; that is fundamental to the meaning of the infinitive "to plunge".  In other words the baby jumped off the bridge of his own volition.  But no, no, no.  This is not an accurate report.  The truth is the baby should have been presented as what he was in any headline and in any report, as the helpless object of his father's wrath.  

This baby did not plunge--subject/verb.

The father threw the baby--subject/verb/object.

Ahhhhh!  Have I said this right?  Do you get what I am saying?  

Again, this baby did not plunge.  On the contrary, he was thrown!  Let me try to say this in the passive voice (which I've been told many times not to use, but in this circumstance is incredibly enlightening)  "The baby was thrown off the bridge by his father."  In other words, the baby was the innocent object of the Father's evil actions.

That is more accurate grammatically and in so many other ways. It puts the blame and the responsibility where it belongs, in the actions of a criminal Father.

Someone please explain to me how any writer or editor at "The Hartford Courant" could mistake who is the victim here?  Who could fail to use the right kind of language to do justice for this little boy.

Now, I did not by any means wish to give folks a grammar lesson.  In fact, even though I've taught writing for many years, grammar was never my strong point as my students can attest.  But even I can see what happens when you massacre the English language to misrepresent the facts of a case while pretending to report on a story.  

My question is, here you have an entire newspaper with highly trained editors whose sole job it is to see that  their employees report on the news truthfully in a way the public can understand. 

How come when it comes to CT Family Court and its abuse of protective mothers and their children, "The Hartford Courant" seems to keep on getting it wrong.

RESPONSE OF BARRY GOLDSTEIN TO MURDER OF BABY AADEN MORENO!

BARRY GOLDSTEIN HAD THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS TO MAKE RE THE DEATH OF AADEN MORENO:

"You are probably aware that in a recent two year period we found news stories about 175 children murdered by abusive fathers involved in contested custody.  And like this case many of the other murderers were given the access by the courts to kill their children.  Dr. Dianne Bartlow wrote a chapter in for my next book with Dr. Hannah.  She interviewed judges and court administrators in the communities where the tragedies occurred.  The question she asked is one we should be asking now.  Did the courts create any reforms in response to the tragedy to better protect children.  Surprisingly the answer was no because the judges thought the murder in their community was an exception.  This murder in CT is not an exception but part of a pattern.  

Whatever we want to say about this judge [Judge Barry Pinkus], if he knew what was going to happen he would have given the mother the protective order.  He didn't know because the courts are not using practices that make the health and safety of children the highest priority as it should be.  For every child who is murdered, thousands more suffer significant harm but don't make the headlines because they are alive.

The solution is the Safe Child Act which would require that the health and safety of children must be the first priority in all custody and visitation decisions.  And it provides reforms so judges can recognize the danger.  This tragedy can be an opportunity to say never again.  Our side needs to unite behind the Safe Child Act and not divide among many other ideas some of which are helpful but ultimately not the solution that would have saved this baby."

CHANNEL NEWS 8 REPORTS THAT IT WAS JUDGE BARRY PINKUS WHO DENIED MOTHER OF MURDERED CHILD A RESTRAINING ORDER!

From News Channel 8 WTNH,

"According to court records, Aaden’s mother filed for a restraining order against Tony. Adrianne Oyola, 19, claimed that she suffered physical and verbal abuse from Moreno, and she also requested full custody of their child, saying she feared for their safety. That request was denied exactly one week ago by Judge Barry Pinkus in Middletown."

Judge Barry Pinkus is the same judge who granted Joshua Komisarjevsky full custody of his daughter just before Mr. Komisarjevsky went out and raped and murdered the Petit family women.

TOLLAND PORNO KING, DR. CARL KOPLIN DISPUTES LIABILITY IN MURDER-SUICIDE!

A former doctor found liable in a 2009 murder-suicide is asking a state judge to set aside the verdict and order a new trial, alleging the judge improperly allowed testimony that harmed the defense.

A Waterbury Superior Court jury found former Tolland doctor Carl Koplin liable on Dec. 19 during a civil trial for the deaths of James Morrin and his wife, Alice Morrin. James Morrin fatally shot his wife in their Vernon home on June 29, 2009, after learning she was having an affair and more than two months after she filed for divorce, and then he killed himself, according to police and court documents.
