Found Deceased NY - Joseph Comunale, 26, Manhattan, 12 Nov 2016 #1 *Arrests*

[Anonymous123]

why does this article from today say Rackover told police where the body was buried not LD? Is that just a misprint?

Exactly.

Max is a witness. Given immunity, he will provide the details LE is looking for.

Editor’s note: An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated that James Rackover told police he buried Comunale’s body in Oceanport, N.J. It was Lawrence Dilione.

MG was arrested and charged. He is not a witness. He is involved, as of now.

OCEANPORT – The son of a former Oceanport mayor has been charged in connection with the case of a Connecticut man whose stabbed and partially burned body was found buried in a shallow grave here last month.

Max Gemma, 29, whose residence is listed as a home on Seneca Place owned by former borough Mayor Gordon Gemma, made his first appearance in Manhattan court Tuesday on an indictment charging him with hindering prosecution and tampering with physical evidence. The Seneca Place home is about a mile from where the body was recovered last month.

Thought JR and LD were to appear this morning.

Could it have been postponed? Is there a kibosh on reporting?

Thanks for the info. I was busy this afternoon and I fully expected to come back to this thread and see information about today's proceedings.

Looks like no murder charges:

James Rackover, of Manhattan, and Lawrence Dilione, of Jersey City, New Jersey, both pleaded not guilty Tuesday to concealment of a human body, hindering prosecution and tampering with evidence.

Rackover, who sat with his head facing down during his 15-minute appearance, had his surety bond reduced to $1 million from $3 million, while his cash bond remained $300,000. Dilione is free after posting cash bond last month.

No Murder Charges in Sutton Place Party Killing, Prosecutors Say

Snip

Rackover was previously arraigned in criminal court in November and held on a $3 million bond or $300,000 cash bail, but it was reduced to a $1 million bond Tuesday after his attorney Maurice Sercarz argued it was more than his client’s family could afford.

When the judge asked for a clarification on the defendant’s relationship with Jeffrey Rackover — an affluent jeweler whose clients include Jennifer Lopez and Donald and Melania Trump — Sercarz said the senior Rackover was not his client’s biological parent but thought of him as “the son he never had.”

Nevertheless, the elder Rackover did not appear in court and, according to Sercarz, will not be posting bail money, which will instead be raised by Rackover’s mother who intends to mortgage her Florida home.

Sercarz asked for “a modest bond for modest middle class people.”

Do they have the caption correct on the photo? Who is on the left, who is on the right?

Dilione left, Rackover right

 

[njcrimegirl]

Lots of people have been falsely charged before. MG had nothing to do with the murder and can shine light on this case for LE. The truth will come out. And you're right - JR has NO business being out on the streets.

Dilione left, Rackover right

That's what I thought. The news article photo caption has it reversed.

New details emerge in Midtown murder case of Joseph Comunale as two defendants plead not guilty

<snip> Gemma told cops the party was peaceful and that he did not see anyone when he woke up and left the dark apartment after about two hours of snoozing and making his way to the PATH train and home to Jersey City.

<snip> The group boozed until about 6 a.m., when Gemma said he passed out on the couch after borrowing sweatpants and a T-shirt from Rackover... Assistant District Attorney Antoinette Carter said that Gemma, a marketing professional, had &#8220;changed his clothing&#8221; and that it &#8220;had something to do with... the concealment of certain items.&#8221;
