  • On a recording made in September, the subject being discussed at roll call is stationhouse graffiti (done by the cops themselves) and something called "cocking the memo book," a practical joke in which officers draw penises in each other's daily notebooks. (Repeated attempts to get an official response from tiie police department have been met by silence.) The Voice obtained the digital audio recordings from Police Officer Adrian Schoolcraft, an eight-year veteran of the NYPD. On this particular day, the precinct commander, Deputy Inspector Steven Mauriello, a Lieutenant B., and a Sergeant C. are leading the session, After attendance has been taken and assignments handed out, Mauriello, a hard-charging boss given to colorful language, exhorts the officers to disperse crowds away from ...

  • A later Supreme Court decision construed and redefined interrogation, the word that has the utmost significance in Sawyer.22 In Rhode Island v. Innis,23 law enforcement officers arrested the defendant on suspicion of armed robbery.24 The officers gave the defendant the Miranda warnings, and the defendant informed the officers that he understood his rights and asked to have the assistance of an attorney.25 While transporting the defendant to the police precinct, one of the officers spoke of the possibility of a child finding the gun used in the robbery and hurting himself or herself, prompting the defendant to tell the officers that he would direct them to the location of the weapon.26 The Court reasoned that although placing a defendant in custody was inherently compulsive, any interrog...

  • The death of Sen. Jake Flake necessitates two processes: one to replace him as a sitting legislator another to replace him as a candidate in this fall's election. State law requires the elected LD5 Republican precinct committeemen from Navajo County to nominate three possible replacements for Sen. Flake; the Navajo County Board of Supervisors then will choose a replacement from among those selections. Flake's family is reportedly asking that one of the late senator's children be appointed to fill the remainder of the term, a request that sources familiar with the district say will be honored by the precinct committeemen and the county board.
