I wonder what Spota and Lato have to say about the article in The NY Times and the ParamusPost. Typical wise ass answer by a Lenny Lato character - I'll read the book for 'laughs.'

And just is the agenda of the author(s). sink four years into a book with the HOPE of making money from it? You have a better chance of going to a horse farm and buying a yearling for a few hundred bucks and it wins The Kentucky Derby.

I am sure that Spota, Lato, and even Cuomo were asked for an interview. I am sure they all declined.

The McCready quote was taken out of 'context' and the cabinet maker had his head in the cabinet when he overheard Steuerman say he killed two people.

I am still puzzled why Lato and co. didn't give immunity to Glenn Harris if they believed he wasn't at the crime scene.

It was obvious to me that Harris lied in his initial statements to the defense and to the DA investigators. He lied because he wanted to tell the truth and was afraid he would be prosecuted for the crime. He places himself 6/10s of mile down the road to give him as much distance as he possibly could so as not to implicate himself directly at the crime scene in the driveway. His lie spoke volumes to the truth.

If OJ could be found innocent of two murders that he so obviously committed, then why is it unbelievable that Tankleff could be found guilty of two murders that he so obviously did not committ? This is our justice system. It is not perfect, and sometimes the correct result is not achieved.

I can't believe you people think I am innocent! This is so great!

OK, off to have a dozen bagels, and see how I can make all you look even dumber!

OJ and I think the America justice system is the best (well, maybe not OJ, at the present time).

McReady is a crook and always has been. Hope he rots in hell for what hes done to Marty. I always found it strange that he co-owned a business with Martys half sister.the one who disowned him!!! Coincidence? I think not.

It's obvious why McStupid will have his lawyer read the book. Since the illiterate liar never learned how himself, he'll have to have someone read it to him. If he could read as well as he lies, he'd be a speed reader.

If anyone is really interested in getting answers...

Suffolk DA Tom Spota is up for re-election in 2009...

Those interested in getting answers from Spota should question him in public when he makes his campaign appearances...

Then vote accordingly on election day in November 2009...

Remember...2009 is an off-year election with less than a 30% voter turn-out...

Get off your rear ends and vote...get off your rear ends and volunteer on a campaign...and get your friends, family and neighbors off their rear ends and get them out to vote...

McCready belongs in jail and the state investigation shows that the people who conducted the investigation are more interested in covering for dirty cops than they care about justice in suffolk county. I'm sick of politics over truth and the reckless tainted investigation of the Arlene and Seymour Tankleff murders. Suffolk County and New York state should be ashamed.

Poor Martin.

If he actually had read 'The Crucible' when in HS; he would not have landed in the original mess.

He would've known not to 'confess' for something he didn't do, just like the hero, John Proctor.

That confession screwed him, along with all the other antics of the prosecutor and cops.

Does Tankleff really want normal everyday citizens to believe that McCready stated this to Dr. Phil and they NEVER used this info? Come on now, if that was the truth we know that Big Bad Barkett LMFAO, would have had Tankleff back in court for another 440 hearing because we the tax payers had nothing better to spend OUR money on!!!! These people are a bunch of blow hards. As for reading this fat lie of a book, I would NEVER waste my money on the Murderers words, He has confessed already, More then enough information for me! One question, Is Tankleff and Kovas and item yet? She is a crack head, he a murderer match made in hell!!!!!

either you don't know anything about the case or your just blind.
this case stunk from the start.
it was the talk of the island back then and no matter who you talked to, no one believed he was guilty.
how in the world can anyone take an unsigned confession as fact?
it's amazing it was allowed in in the 1st place.
this case is proof that no matter what the cops want to talk to you about, you say nothing without a lawyer. if they see that as a signall of guilt, then they should read the constitution of the united states.

It's too bad Lato makes such a stupid comment. I points to his lack of sincerity to do justice, as well as to his intelligence.

Does anyone else remember how Steurman "ran" to Forida and hid out right after the bodies were found? This always seemed like a big red flag.

Why was this Dr. Phil show never aired, does a copy still exist or were they all destroyed, and how did the authors know about it? Looks like a lot of payoffs were made. Big time.

Guilty as charged and CONVICTED! This book is just a BS way of trying to money.

I think McCready was stupid for apparently going into business with the killer's sister/half sister. To believe the tihs some of the killer's supporters say one would have to believe the entire homicide squad was involved in framing the kid. Give me a break!

Perhaps Pete F - who sounds like he has an ax or two to grind -will find some meaning in his life, get off his soapbox and seek professional help.

all the more reason to videotape SCPD interrogations.
Hopefully to avoid this in the future.
