Lauren Pazienza indicted in fatal shove of beloved NYC voice coach

from your link:
"Pazienza was reportedly sprung from Rikers Island last month after her mom wrote a check for $500,000 to bail her out."

The parents have a lot of money and have hired a hot-shot lawyer. I'm not anticipating much jail time for this crime. I hope the prosecutors are not intimidated by the defense 'dream team', and pursue the maximum penalty here. What a heartless crime!

Prosecutors revealed Tuesday that Pazienza allegedly flew into a rage after being told to leave a park, where she’d been celebrating with her fiancé because the green space was closing.

I mean, imagine being so short-fused - so insolent - to react in that way...I just can't even fathom it.

Granny shover Lauren Pazienza spends first night on Rikers Island

Lauren Pazienza, 26, accused of fatally shoving Barbara Gustern, 87, appeared in Manhattan Supreme Court Tuesday where she was ordered to be held without bail because she's a flight risk.

The above article has been RSBM and BBM below.

Prosecutors revealed the new details in Manhattan Supreme Court on Tuesday when Lauren Pazienza, 26, was ordered to be held without bail pending trial because she was considered a flight risk.

She pleaded not guilty to first-degree manslaughter and second-degree assault before the judge revoked her $500,000 bail and remanded her.

[…]

Just prior to the attack on that Thursday night, Pazienza had been drinking wine at various art galleries with her fiancé as they celebrated 100 days until their wedding, Assistant District Attorney JM said.

[…]

‘They went to several art galleries in Chelsea, where the defendant had several glasses of wine. Afterward, they went to a food cart, where they each got a meal. They went to Chelsea Park, one block away from the assault, where the defendant began to eat her meal,' JM said in court, as reported by the New York Daily News.

While Pazienza was eating her meal in Chelsea Park, a park employee came up to her and told her that she would have to leave, because the park was closing soon, JM said.

'The defendant became angry, started shouting and cursing at the park employee, threw her food onto her fiancé, and stormed out of the park.'

Pazienza then walked over to the area of West 28th Street near Eighth Avenue where she came in contact with Gustern, a vocal coach who had just finished rehearsals in the area, and allegedly angrily shoved her to the sidewalk.

Prosecutors say Pazienza then watched as an ambulance crew took the woman to the hospital where she died five days later.

Pazienza had called her fiancé, NP, just after the incident, prosecutors said in court, but 'said nothing about the fact that she had just shoved an older woman to the cement.'

'Instead, she started to argue with her fiancé, accusing him of ruining her night,' the prosecutor told the court. 'Right before they went to bed that night, the defendant finally, for the first time, turned to her fiancé and told him that she had pushed someone. She said that she thought the person had fallen, and she walked away.'

When Pazienza's fiancé asked why she had pushed Gustern, she said the woman 'might have said something' to her but she wasn't sure.

[…]

Soon after the attack, she went back home to Astoria, Queens, quit her job at a store in Chelsea, deleted all social media and took down a website advertising her wedding this June, prosecutors say.

The day after Gustern died, Pazienza allegedly fled for her parents' home on Long Island and later stashed her phone at her aunt's house so police wouldn't find it.

I think this is the first time I've ever heard of bond being revoked when the criminal hasn't done something they weren't supposed to do. I bet she's mad.

 

[vls12345]

I bet she's mad.

I wonder if she's learned to rein in her temper?

 

[JoeFromLB]

Glad she's back in jail. She should serve serious prison time, imo. We'll see what happens.

After all of that she accused her fiance of ruining her night. that is insane. No words. Just so sad for the Gustern family. Glad judge revoked the bond.

if they know what she said that night before bed, sounds to me like the fiancé has given a statement indicating that she admitted pushing someone. Now she is trying to argue otherwise. Good luck with that.

 

[InvisibleMe]

Wow!!!! I hope that her fiance backs out of marrying her. Who needs to be married to someone like that?! No thanks.

Lawyer for accused NYC shover Lauren Pazienza seeks new bail hearing

Lauren Pazienza, the Long Island woman charged in the shoving death of voice coach Barbara Maier Gustern should not be behind bars, her lawyer contends in new court filing.

Pazienza should get a new bail hearing because Menin didn’t consider options like home confinement, treatment programs or electronic monitoring, according to […] her lawyers.

A hearing on the matter is scheduled for Tuesday.

 

[DSCrime]

What happens to bail $ when a judge revokes the bond like in this case, where person didn't break conditions, but judge determined them to be a flight risk anyway?

Part of me thinks this is a standard defense attorney move, but part of me also wonders if less than 2 weeks at Rikers Island is already getting to her.

Yes, hopefully!!!

What is a defense here? Aside from obvious sociopathy. My own opinion. Maybe she was on medication that made her act erratically? Some sort of mental illness? Or maybe something novel, like PMS disorder? Should be an interesting trial. Unless they work out some sort of plea deal, but this judge doesn't seem to be very flexible.
