Police & Wilson Officials Speak On Hazing Charges

O'Brien's statements are a last attempt to hold onto some sort of lawsuit. He is grasping at straws and fabricating (or his clients are fabricating) tug at your heartstrings stories that just ARE NOT TRUE!

"This is a slanderous and you should be very very careful what you are writing."
Slander would be something that I know is not true.
"This categorically has not happened in the past and did not happen in 2008."
You were on the team in 2008?
"There is absolutely no documentation of anything."
My prayer is that the real story will emerge so there will be accountability.

Why did the judge and the DA try and cover this up saying that nothing happened on the bus, when in fact, the perps are so dumb, they are all over the news saying how they punched kids and gave charlie horses to kids. Wonder if the school is going to be on their side after this? The school is trying to cover their tracks and the perps have now blown it for them. The truth is now coming out, the school needs to be prepared for egg on their face, the judge is already wiping his face.

To my knowledge, only one suit (directly related to the bus incident) has formally been served so far against the Wilson Central School District, and it isn't by attorney Terry Connors. Why is no one inquiring about damages being sought in this suit? Furthermore, the parents serving this suit are stating 'mental anguish' and their son admittedly was never physically touched. Couldn't the whole community of Wilson sue under those terms? This lawsuit is a classic example of projection - a quick look into the past would reveal why this man doesn't deserve any money. What he DID deserve, he never got - jail time.
Backtracking · 2 days ago
A popular comment that has been repeated lately is "well, something happened on the back of that bus." At what point does credibility go out the window? If I caught a 5 year old in a lie, I don't let him back out of it until he arrives at the truth, and then commend him for it. These 'concerned parents' told us that felony sexual assault happened on that bus in April 2008. FALSE, and verified by a reduction in charges. They then took a few steps back and basically said even if felony sexual assault didn't happen, misdemeanor forcible touching and hazing happened. FALSE, and verified in February when the judge rules there is not enough physical evidence to pursue first degree hazing charges. THEN, they took a few more steps back and said that even if felony sexual abuse didn't happen, and 1st degree hazing didn't happen, SOMETHING happened. Why are the claims of these people still being viewed as credible? They have done nothing but backtrack repeatedly over the past 15 months, and change their story to fit every time they ran into a stumbling block that didn't verify their claims, and the media does not seem interested in holding them accountable. During yesterday's press conference, reporters still were badgering the coaches spokesperson Mike Paul, and maintaining their interest in the ONE family that is holding out hope in a civil suit, even though he supplied them with CREDIBLE new information. Credibility doesn't waver - it's either there, or it isn't. What will it take to convince the public at large, AND THE MEDIA, that the ones who don't deserve our belief and support are the ones whose stories have continued to adapt and change? Why are you allowing these people to weasel their way out of their original accusations time and time again, and still believe in them? My guess is that we always want to believe a child - but the depositions themselves reveal that these alleged victims BEGGED their parents not to call the police. These children knew that they were NOT the victims of any criminal activity, and knew their parents were over-reacting, but the parents pushed ahead anyway. They made their own children the subjects of a national expose on ESPN, forced them to subject to probing medical exams (which don't document ANY signs of physical abuse) and made this situation the focal point of their lives for 15 months. Even the simplest of individuals can understand the concept of truth, and the stories that these parents have continually spun to fit the emerging facts are NOT the truth. The coaches maintained from day one that nothing criminal happened on that bus, and haven't wavered. So who deserves the credibility here?

The buffalo news has a story today about how the defense used Peter Vito and associates to head up the private investigation. Isn't Peter Vito married to one of the ADA's that live in Wilson? Can anyone confirm this? I hope this isn't true!
If so, this is a definate conflict of interest.

Peter Viot is married to an ADA in the District Attorney's office. It is a hugh conflict of interest. But, then again so is Berger presiding over the case since he is friends with the coached and used to work at the school. It has been ciroupt from day 1 - those victims never had a chance.
