Controversies

@SC.infon added a sector dedicated to controversies, incluiding legal issues. The sector was later removed due to sources being supposedly weak. However, the court document cited by @SC.infon clearly states the legal issues that the controversy paragraph was about.

D'Esposito was accused of falsely detaining plaintiffs into custody without probable cause while serving as a law enforcement officer

Page 4, Topic 17 of Crockett-v-City-of-New-York, states "That the arrest of plaintiff was effectuated without a warrant and without probable cause to believe that plaintiff had committed any crime".

(D'Esposito) was alleged to have knowingly lied to a grand jury and district attorney

Page 4, Topic 12 of Crockett-v-City-of-New-York, states "That when he made the aforementioned representations to the District Attorney, Desposito knew that those representations were false."

Page 4, Topic 13 of Crockett-v-City-of-New-York, states "That on or about December 13, 2011, Desposito repeated those false representations in testimony before a Grand Jury"

Page 4, Topic 15 of Crockett-v-City-of-New-York, states "That as a result of Desposito's intentional misrepresentations both to the District Attorney and to the Grand Jury, plaintiff was indicted on the aforementioned criminal charges."

therefore costing the tax payers $45,000 in settlement because of his acts.

There is no such mention to this settlement.

As such, as a result of the court documen,t I believe that the content of the controversies paragraph added by @SC.infon can be reinstated (except the settlement mention).
