Can you believe that it's been 11 years next month (Nov. 15, 2004) since Christopher killed his father and tried to kill his father. He has been in Danamora (Plattsburgh, NY) for the last 9 years. He has exhausted all avenues of appeal... including accusing his lawyer (the famous (infamous)...

The NYS Appellate Court's decision says that while Christopher was denied his Crawford right to question his accuser (his mother) because she doesn't remember nodding her head at Det. Bowdish's question: "Did Christopher do this to you?" it was a harmless error. It was harmless because the...

There was another appeal by Kindon yesterday in front of NY's highest appellate court. He, once again, argued that Joan's head nod should not have been allowed into evidence because she no longer has a memory of nodding her head to Det. Bowdish's question: Did Christopher do this to you? He...

The NYS Court of Appeals granted Christopher the right to plead his case claiming a technical error was made when his mother's "head nod" was allowed into testimony. As the defendant, he has a right to question his accusers...and, since Joan has no memory of what happened, she can't testify to...

One judge couldn't make the decision to deny Christopher a further appeal on the lower Court's decision to uphold the guilty verdict in spite of the fact that the defense had ample opportunity to ask Joan if she ever nodded her head in response to Detective Bowdish's question and never did ask...

This is definetly a different Webslueth site than the last time I visited it...Emoticons and more. As for the Porco appeal, Channel 9 carried it live and it can be seen at: http://capitalnews9.com/capital-region-news-12-content/488987/court-hears-porco-appeal?ap=1&MP4 While the Prosecution...

I know that you will remember this case...but, for those who are curious about the on-going happenings in this case, visit this site for the appeal notice and info: http://timesunion.com/ss.asp?s=774641&c=REGION&b= You will notice that the defense-counsel, Kindlon, is sure that this (the...

Dear Slueths, It is with much sadness that I report the death of another Porco Family member: Peter's sister, Patty Szostak. Most of you will remember that Patty attended every day of her nephew's trial with quiet dignity. Her character and reputation was smudged with the lies Kindlon told...

Christopher Porco has been transferred to Clinton Correctional Facility...north of Plattsburgh, NY. It's also called Danemora. It is the oldest and largest maximum security prison in NYS. I am struck by the reality of the punishment and the life that Christopher will endure. Even Peter...

Dear Folks, Yes, I am still here... and life goes on... Tuesday, sentencing day, felt very much like the internment of our entire family as we once knew it. Take for example our Christmas traditions for the past 20 years. We would all gather at Joan and Peter's home to celebrate, share a...

OK... Here's the next juror attack... http://www.troyrecord.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=17498626&BRD=1170&PAG=461&dept_id=7021&rfi=6 This is a collaboration between Kindlon and a local attorney who has been sanctioned by the NYS Bar Association for his unethical practices, John Aratakis...

Dear Hockeymom: Once again we find Kindlon lying! This time he lies about Peter's sister in a letter to Judge Berry...accusing her of celebrating Chris' guilty verdict in a Corvette as it sped through the streets of Albany, and further, implying that there was alcohol in the car. If I were a...

Dear Friends, Sociopaths can feel rage! Especially if they perceive they are about to be cornered, or exposed. That rage allows the sociopath to lash out at whatever or whoever is preventing his/her success. While it lasts, that rage is personal against his/her "enemy/enemies." Chris saw...

Dear PolkSaladAnnie, Barrister is now living with Joan...although this wonderful, gentle, loving animal is old and suffers from many medical problems, including diabetes. It won't be long before Barrister goes to live with Peter..if such things actually happen. If you could have seen the...
