Update: At around 5 p.m., jurors sent a note to Judge James F.X. Doyle stating that they are deadlocked on one of the four felony charges filed against Mr. Guldi. Jurors have repeatedly asked the court to have the definition of one of the charges—criminal possession of a forged instrument in the second degree—read over to them. Judge Doyle also said that jurors would continue to deliberate for at least another half an hour.

Update: At approximately 3 p.m., the jury sent a note to the judge asking if Mr. Guldi had to physically touch the check to be guilty of criminal possession of a forged instrument. The judge responded by reading the statute again.

Juror deliberations in the criminal trial of former Suffolk County Legislator George O. Guldi continued on Wednesday... more

I'm sure the Press did not cover this story because they do not report on fiction.

This should be obvious. Countrywide has a $1.4 M lien on Mr. Guldi's house. The house burns up. A check issued by the insurance company payable to Mr. Guldi and Countrywide ends up in Mr. Guldi's account. The only reasonable explanation is that Countrywide felt sorry for Mr. Guldi 's loss and decided to let him have all the insurance money and fuggetabout the $1.4M lien.

Your explanation was certainly clearer than the article above. Maybe it is me though but why would the insurance company name Countrywide just because they have a lien? Or more specifically how the heck would Guldi get Countrywide's signature? It's not like it was ever the corner bank when all this was happening. Seems to me the implication is that a distinct option is to pay down the mortgage versus fixing the house (ahem, the real point of the insurance).

If, as ADA Stavrides "asserted," that the insurance check at the base of this case "was deposited by Donald MacPherson," why isn't MacPherson charged in this case also?

Whats the problem you cant mention PATCH in a sentence with out your comments being removed. There coverage has filled a void on topics I don't see being covered anywhere else. I was just answering the comments above not criticizing anyone else.
By joe hampton (1334), south hampton on Feb 16, 11 2:09 PM
BTW it is "their" not "there" in "There coverage has filled a void ..."

It seems there is some sort of internal fight in the editors room ? comments are removed then restored. Well anyway thank you.

BTW it is "duel" not "dual"
