Dietl also reiterated his claim that celebrity jeweler Jeffrey Rackover, who previously hired Dietl as a spokesperson, was unconnected to the murder that his surrogate son James Rackover has been charged with.

Dietl said Wednesday that Rackover did not enter James’ apartment on the night that a decomposing body was allegedly still there, a walkback of Dietl's earlier statements made as Jeffery Rackover’s spokesperson.

Instead, he stood by Jeffrey’s innocence but skirted specific questions about his actions that night, saying that reporters should ask Rackover’s lawyer.

“Bo Dietl would never be a part of some cover up of a murder,” he bellowed. “That creep who murdered him, whether it be his stepson or whoever did, should go to jail for the rest of their life.”

Blood and wood floors don't go well together. There must have been a lot of residual even after cleanup. 4C is not a large space, I was always suspect of senior's visit the next day "to walk the dog".
 
From the NY Post:
“He ordered Gemma and Dilione to take off their clothes. They complied,” according to Gemma’s account.

“Rackover straddled Comunale and tightly wrapped what appeared to be the jeans Dilione had been wearing around his hands, as if he was preparing to choke Comunale.”

Gemma says Dilione then led him into Rackover’s bedroom, where he stayed “until Dilione told him to leave the apartment.”

“When Gemma left, Comunale was no longer on the living r​​oom floor and Rackover, who was standing in the bathtub, glared at Gemma,” who asked Dilione if he should worry “about Rackover harming him in light of what he witnessed,” court papers say.

Were Dilione and Gemma "ordered" to do what is alleged or did Gemma spin a tale to explain why he exited Rackover's apartment in clothes that were not his own because his jeans and Dilione's pants were covered in blood?

Consider that Dilione and Gemma are/were roommates and have good reason to collaborate to point the finger away from themselves and towards the ex-con as having played a dominant role in the murder.

After undressing, the papers allege Dilione escorted Gemma to Rackover’s bedroom, where he stayed until he was told the leave the East Side Manhattan apartment.

“When Gemma left, Comunale was no longer on the living room floor and Rackover, who was standing in the bathtub, glared at Gemma,” the documents say.

The filings explain how Gemma had been asleep on the couch early Nov. 13 at Rackover’s apartment when he was roused by a fight between Dilione and Comunale. A blow to the head from Dilione left Comunale unconscious before Rackover continued the beating, the papers say.

“Rackover taunted the defenseless Comunale, punched and kicked him in the head and face several times, and smashed the back of his head into the hardwood floor several times,” they say.

Rackover is said to have helped President Donald Trump choose the engagement ring for his wife, Melania. The 57-year-old is the only defendant to Comunale’s complaint, which stipulates that “Rackover has not yet been criminally charged in connection with Joey’s death or the subsequent conspiracy and cover-up.”

Comunale is represented by Robert Abrams of the firm Abrams Fensterman. The attorney said in an interview this week with the New York Post that the lawsuit eventually could open the way for criminal charges against Rackover.

If I remember correctly, Max claimed he borrowed clothes to sleep in as he was not comfortable sleeping in his party clothes. Now with this new admission, he was instructed to remove his clothes and then later instructed to leave before the stabbing began. If the cause of death was by stabbing then he did have the opportunity to save Joeys life if his statements are true. So why is he not incarcerated?
 
I wondered about walking the dog too, but the cameras should show if what actually happened and at what time. I understand the claims that he gave cleaning supplies but who's to say if they were just asked for or if he helped cleanup the place.

It's interesting, the lawsuit notes the dog walking/dog removal from James' apartment but another line item in the lawsuit suggests that James went up to Jeffrey's apartment to obtain the cleaning supplies.
 
It baffles me that both Gemma and Dillione complied to removing their pants and stood there while rackover was beating up comunale. They could've easily overpowered him to stop him from murdering someone. And why would Rackover continue a fight that started between Dillione and Comunale? It's so odd. IMO

Agreed. However this is not the prosecution's narrative, it's the latest tale of one of the defendants. His latest tale greatly differs from the previous incarnations. Additionally, Gemma's loyalty is with Dilione.

Personally I'll wait for the prosecution to present their case and not believe the words of a guy whose story has changed dramatically and is very self-serving.
 
Maybe their pants were already off? Maybe the narrative was established to justify their pants being off. Gemma's story doesn't add up- he was in the bedroom with no pants on after sleeping on the couch. When Gemma left JR was out of the living room and in the bathroom? I can understand the demand to remove bloody clothes but Gemma is maintaining that the stabbings occurred after he left so the clothes would not have been bloodied at that point. Gemma should have contact LE immediately after leaving the property.
 
Now it irks me...the initial reports that when Joey was found, his pants were removed.

Would that have the nerve to have used them to murder Joey?

Also, why would James have both Gemma and Dilione remove their jeans to use them to kill Joey? He needed two pair?

That story is a huge lump of bull.

Precisely.

IMO the jeans removal and choking with jeans is likely a way to explain not yet revealed facts such as blood being found on Gemma & Dilione's jeans.

Gemma's story has changed from wearing Rackover's bottoms because it was uncomfortable to sleep in jeans to being ordered to remove them and complied out of fear for their lives. IMO the new explanation achieves two things: Explains away evidence on Gemma's jeans and portrays Gemma & Dilione as being in great fear of Rackover.

Gemma & Dilione are smart enough to understand that if they collaborate and both push the same narrative, they are more likely to be believed than the ex-con. However much of their story is simply not plausible -- from the reason for the fight to the idea that after the first punch Dilione had little involvement to Gemma being nothing more than a gawker observing the events but playing no role.
 
I think your right. This new story was most likely fabricated after Max's attorney got the evidence and Larry was still out on bond. I find it interesting too that the florist where he was dumped is a familiar area to Larry and Max, not Rackover. Too many tails being told .
