Setting the Giuca case straight

Houston: Voicer Jaime Conner obviously knows nothing about the John Giuca case or its history. Neither John nor his mother, Doreen, have in any way “played” anyone in the DA’s office, celebrity supporters or the wrongfully convicted community. John has several supporters, and the DA’s office is not one of them. John did not receive a fair trial due to prosecutorial misconduct, which is why his conviction was unanimously overturned by the appellate court — the second highest in our court structure.

That is our justice system at work reviewing the evidence in John’s case brought by his attorney.

John is not trying to connive his way out of doing his time; he is trying to fight for justice because he never got a fair trial to begin with.

He has had no communication with Antonio Russo or John Avitto while he has been in prison. Both witnesses came forward of their own volition to change their testimony and make things right. To suggest that anyone was paid off is ridiculous and only makes Connor look bad, considering his lack of insight into the details and facts of this ongoing case.

Furthermore, the DA’s office has done its investigating and knows that it has its murderer because he confessed and stated that John Giuca had nothing to do with Mark Fisher’s murder. Amy Flowers

Empire State hypocrisy

Yonkers: The resignation of former Attorney General Eric Schneiderman underscores the liberal trademark of holier-thanthou hypocrisy. Like so many on the left, Schneiderman believes if he condemns his political opponents loudly and often enough that he will be impervious to similar reproach. Now New Yorkers will again suffer the apocryphal remorse from the likes of Gov. Cuomo, Chuck Schumer, Kirsten Gillibrand, Bill de Blasio, et al., as they babble that they had no idea such behavior was taking place. Schneiderman is just the latest example of politicians — from both parties — who prove to be in it just for themselves. If Washington is a political swamp, then New York is most assuredly a cesspool.

Swamp rise

Astoria: Eric Schneiderman wrapped himself in a cloak of denial as he proclaimed himself to support the #MeToo movement, targeted President Trump for his past indiscretions and may have caused damage to the New York case against Harvey Weinstein. The arrogance of the man! I guess in the next few weeks we are going to have to watch him march in his pity-parade as he will go into some type of “rehab” for his sexual proclivities. It seems that the so-called swamp that Trump has been trying to stand up against in D.C. is alive and well in New York State. Linda Smith

Give Preet a chance

Howard Beach: There couldn’t be a better person to replace Eric Schneiderman than Preet Bharara. Bharara would be Trump’s worst nightmare. That also goes for Jared Kushner, Don Trump Jr. and Michael Cohen. As New York State attorney general he would go after these crooks with the same tenacity that Robert Mueller is doing as special counsel. In the end, we all hope that justice will prevail.

Roots of Middle East conflict

Margate, Fla.: Voicer Jagjit Singh conveniently ignores history in his long rant against Israel. In November 1947, the Arab Palestinians were given every opportunity by the United Nations to accept partition of Palestine and retain all their land. They rejected partition — and the guaranteed retention of their land — in order to initiate a genocidal war to murder all their Jewish neighbors. Did the Arabs consider “the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” of their Jewish neighbors when they initiated the war in November 1947? History does not begin with breakfast.

Richard Sherman

Issue priority

Brooklyn: The Democratic issues as indicated by the constant MSNBC ramblings are the President’s infidelities, impeachment, opening up the gates to immigration and collusion. Our President, who is an arrogant, self-aggrandizing boor, deals with issues of substance including job growth, peace initiatives and economic growth. Which position is more appealing to voters?

History lesson

Bellmore, L.I.: The Founding Fathers created the Constitution with safeguards for the President. In the case of high crimes and misdemeanors, the House of Representatives prepares impeachment charges and the Senate votes on conviction. A President has a government to run and doesn’t have time to prepare for a subpoena or grand jury or trial. If the impeachment is successful, then as a civilian the ex-President could stand in a criminal trial. John J. Ferrante

Just say ‘neigh’!

Glendale: Usually at this time of year we are talking about a horse going for the coveted Triple Crown. However, our mayor is going for his own Triple Crown. In addition to opening homeless shelters and jails in neighborhoods, he wants to open up “shoot up centers” where addicts can take their illegal drugs such as heroin. Why did my fellow citizens vote for this radical? Don’t you care about the quality of life in your neighborhood? Wake up and fight back!

Thomas Murawski Manhattan: Just so you are aware, there are some of us out here that know that Bibi Neten-up-yours is a rawly villainous gangster worthy of a life sentence in a maximum-security prison. Thank you and good night. John Phillps

Obama history

Schenectady, N.Y.: To Voicer John Rossano’s claim that President Obama did zero for eight years: I have to rinse and repeat for you old or hard-of-hearing or hard-of-seeing folks: Obama saved your probably oversize stomach/butt/back on 1/20/09 as our country was two inches from a second Great Depression! Our auto industry was saved (and they paid back their billions in loans by the end of Obama’s first term, with interest); the stock market went from 7,000 in 2009 to 19,000-plus handed to Trump on Jan. 20, 2017; unemployment went from 10% in 2009 to handed to Trump under 5%. Best of all, 20 million Americans gained access to a doctor just like you and I on Jan. 1, 2010. Those of us with brains “thanked” Obama by reelecting him in 2012. I have written this before, so rinse and repeat for the MAGA crowd.

Cryptic comics

Manhattan: Does someone from the “creative team” (and I use that term loosely) behind the daily comic strip “Between the Lines” have some dirt on your editor? The fact that you continue to run the single laziest, unfunniest and most uncreative strip I’ve ever seen in my six decades on the planet (Monday: John Lennon says give PEAS a chance. Groan...Oh look! RaPUNzel shows an automobile and a chair. Car seat! Get it? Ha-ha-ha) is actually quite astounding and a horrific waste of space. “Between the Lines” makes the previous “Rhymes With Orange” seem like “The Far Side” by comparison.

Not-so-mighty, really

Sprakers, N.Y.: I started reading Mighty Quinn when I heard there DEBBIE EGAN-CHIN/DAILY NEWS was a chance of him being canceled. Frankly, I don’t get what’s so great. Seems he writes a few blurbs about local people. So what. And what is a sirignano?

Collusion confusion

Larchmont, N.Y.: Insofar as Donald Trump has never been accused by the Justice Department of colluding with the Russians, and since Trump cannot take legal responsibility for what his staff may have done in colluding with the Russians, then Trump cannot claim that the Mueller investigation into colluding with the Russians is a witch hunt.

Fake Voicers!

La Jolla, Calif.: In this era of fake news, maybe you should rename some of your editions. For instance, “Fake Sports Final” and “Real Sports Final.”

Wolf at the door

East Islip, L.I.: I had to laugh while reading Voice of the People where the left and the right are fighting about what is comedy after Michelle Wolf’s routine. Then I saw it on the adjacent page in bold letters, “Adult diapers may no longer be needed” because the Red and the Blue are throwing so much crap back and forth, who needs diapers. This is the new normal in comedy. The only thing you can expect is more disrespect. But don’t forget, “He who laughs last laughs loudest” and he has a bigger button. Craig A. Smith
