Sources told Government Watch about the discipline, and Griffin confirmed that Brodsky had been reprimanded and lost two vacation days. But when asked who imposed the discipline, and whether it was specifically connected to the remark, she said she couldn’t comment further. The Courant asked for the letter of reprimand, and Griffin said the office would release it, but couldn’t do so until after the weekend.
Brodsky could not be reached Friday.
Hardy came under heavy criticism last month, when
she came up for reappointment, over her failure to adequately handle cases involving police violence. “If we allow this body of work to be approved that is the most egregious in the state, it would be OK for others to do the same. We cannot afford that,” said Scot X. Esdaile, president of the Connecticut chapter of the NAACP.
She had defenders in the community, but several people who spoke had lost loved ones to shootings, including two police shootings Hardy investigated, and believed that Hardy failed them and their families.
The Courant reported last year that Hardy left open four deadly police shooting investigations dating as far back as 11 years. The Criminal Jus
tice Commission, in an unprecedented move, suspended Hardy last month for four days.
Hardy said not completing the reports from 2008 to 2011 was a failure, and apologized before the commission June 26, saying: “With respect to four use of deadly force reports, I let down victims who had lost family members at the hands of police. In those same, cases I let down police officers who awaited written outcomes of their fate.”
