Bridge And (Holland) Tunnel Traffic Blocked By Pro-Palestinian Demonstrators, 325 Arrests Made
The Holland Tunnel was closed for nearly an hour during an anti-Israeli protest in Manhattan at the tail end of Monday morning's rush hour. The NYPD and Port Authority police seized hundreds of “Shut it Down for Palestine” protestors before releasing them on misdemeanor charges -- not summonses -- after they blocked the entrances to the tunnel and three East River bridges. That means they must attend court dates in person. Any who don't can have warrants issued for their arrests. Some of the protesters linked themselves using concrete-filled tires while others held signs that said "Lift t…

Love-Triangle Husband Sentenced To Life In Murder Of Popular Teaneck Software Engineer
For more than 12 years since popular software engineer Robert Cantor was brutally murdered in his Teaneck home, his twice-convicted killer has neither admitted it nor expressed any remorse. Sui Kam “Tony” Tung, 60, now has whatever’s left of his life to spend with whatever feelings he has following his sentencing Friday in Hackensack. This past July, jurors in that same courtroom convicted Tung of murdering Cantor, with whom his wife had been having an affair, in March of 2011. Superior Court Judge Christopher Kazlau said he’d seen enough of Tung to not be surprised by his refusal to spea…

"The strength of our Constitution is about to be tested like never before in our history," he said. "It is strong and resilient. A document written for the ages, and it will triumph over partisanship yet again, and always." Castor made headlines after declining to prosecute Bill Cosb…

NJ Appeals Court Overturns Murder Conviction Of NYC Man In Teaneck Love Triangle
In a rare move, a state appeals court on Friday overturned the conviction of a Manhattan man for murdering popular software engineer Robert Cantor in his Teaneck home, ordering a new trial. The appeals judges focused, in large part, on what they considered inappropriate testimony by a detective in the prosecution of Sui Kam “Tony” Tung, who prosecutors said shot Cantor – who was his estranged wife’s lover – and then set his body and house on fire. The panel also said prosecutors erred in making “repeated references” during the trial to Tung saying that he wanted a lawyer and refusing to all…
