NY - Ted Ammon, 52, murdered in his East Hampton home, 20 Oct 2001

[lisafremont]

The news update on CTV said that the prosecutor in this trial accused the defendant of threatening her children and said that he had admitted to killing two others (if I heard it right.)I went to the CTV site but there was nothing on it.

Why isn't CTV covering this trial??

 

[sariebell]

I heard that too, LisaFremont! I don't know anything about the case, but it really perked my attention when I heard about his threatening the DA's kids and stuff. I wonder what will happen with this? Makes me want to become more knowledgeable about the case. Keep us posted if you hear any more.

The accusation from the DA is that he admitted to two people that he was involved in this crime. Not that he killed two people.

PROSECUTOR: PELOSI MADE THREATS

by Robin Topping

Moments before lawyers were about to give opening statements in the Daniel Pelosi murder trial, Suffolk prosecutor Janet Albertson rose to deliver startling news to a packed courtroom in Riverhead.

With the jury waiting to be brought in, she said she had just learned of tape recordings in which Pelosi, while in jail, made "direct admissions" to the murder of millionaire Theodore Ammon. Pelosi had also "conspired" to intimidate and harm witnesses, "expressed a desire" to tamper with a juror, and threatened Albertson's own children, she said.....

PELOSI 'PLOT' VS. DA

by Kieran Crowley

September 30, 2004 -- The Ted Ammon murder trial came to a screeching halt yesterday when a prosecutor made stunning claims that accused killer Danny Pelosi was caught on tape threatening her two children, plotting to intimidate a juror — and even admitting to the slaying.
The bombshell allegations postponed opening arguments and could lead to a mistrial.

Suffolk County prosecutor Janet Albertson's allegations that Pelosi had been caught on jailhouse tapes as recently as last weekend confessing to the 2001 murder of millionaire Ammon drew gasps in the courtroom.

Jury-Tampering Claim Halts L.I. Murder Trial
By PATRICK HEALY

Published: September 30, 2004


RIVERHEAD, N.Y., Sept. 29 - It was a moment three years in the making as the Long Island electrician accused of killing the Manhattan financier R. Theodore Ammon strode into court here, winked at his family and sat down with his lawyers, ready to begin his murder trial.

But in an incident that may cause a mistrial, the whole process halted. Before a packed courtroom, the Suffolk County prosecutor, Janet Albertson, stood up and said that the defendant, Daniel J. Pelosi, had been tape recorded making plans to intimidate and assault witnesses, tamper with the jury and threaten her children....

Pelosi's jailhouse tapes
Only admission of killing likely to be used, DA says

Defense says it's just ‘Danny being Danny'

Inmate tapings legal, but risky

Despite allegations made in court this week that Daniel Pelosi admitted to killing millionaire Theodore Ammon, jury tampering and other crimes, prosecutors will most likely use only the statements pertaining to the murder in his ongoing trial, Suffolk District Attorney Thomas Spota said Thursday.

Spota cautioned that any ruling on the evidence must come from State Supreme Court Justice Robert W. Doyle, the judge on the murder case, and other prosecutors must concur with his opinion. But, he said, since the new evidence is technically not part of the murder case against Pelosi, "I don't think we could introduce the new crimes."....

PELOSI DEMANDS: DELETE MY JAILHOUSE CONFESSION

DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITERS

Long Island electrician Danny Pelosi is accusing prosecutors of stomping on his constitutional rights by using a jailhouse snitch to secretly record him making alleged admissions to murder.
Pelosi's attorney said he will file papers today asking a Suffolk County judge to block prosecutors from using the 40 hours of recorded chats as evidence. "This is an unprecedented and unconstitutional invasion of the defense camp," Pelosi's attorney, Gerald Shargel, said yesterday....

FIGHT OVER PELOSI TAPES
Prosecution fights to introduce recorded talks Pelosi had with inmates, but defense alleges fabrication

By Robin Topping and Samuel Bruchey
Staff Writers

October 5, 2004

Daniel Pelosi told two inmates at the Suffolk County jail that he had beaten a man to death, breaking his bones in various places, and said to one of them, "If I had known what I know today, I would have just shot him," according to statements submitted to Pelosi's trial judge by prosecutors.

One statement, by former inmate Clayton Moultrie of Riverhead, also says Pelosi asked for help in knocking the teeth out of other inmates cooperating with prosecutors, saying he would pay him "$100 per tooth."

Boy, we better fasten our seatbelts! This is going to be a bumpy ride!

Thanks Lisa. I will check back later to see if anything else has exploded, like Pelosi's head!

Geraldo Rivera who went to law school with Gerald Shargel had him on his show Sunday night. Shargel said there are no tapes of his client confessing. :crazy:

Tired 'killer' Danny's complaint: jailhouse snitch
by Kieran Crowley

A jailhouse informant who told prosecutors Danny Pelosi boasted of Ted Ammon's murder said the accused killer complained the bludgeon slaying was such hard work, he "should have just put one in his head."
Crackhead and small-time criminal Clayton Moultrie said Pelosi made a number of incriminating and threatening statements in the "bullpen" inside the Suffolk County Jail in Riverhead last month, according to a written statement Moultrie gave to Suffolk DA Thomas Spota's office.

The 39-year-old Riverhead man said Pelosi also threatened witnesses set to testify against him, calling them "dead meat" and claimed to have arranged "a bloodbath" for them. He said Pelosi offered the former inmate $100 for each tooth he knocked out of any prosecution witnesses' mouths....
