Attention Centers On Accused Mastermind Of 84 Brazen Burglaries In Nine NJ Counties, Rockland
A Teaneck ex-con accused of leading a band of brazen burglars who committed no fewer than 84 broad-daylight break-ins throughout New Jersey and Rockland County could find two of them testifying against him if he goes to trial. Porsche Brown, 29, of Lodi, and Kay Brown, 23, of Paterson (no relation) took guilty pleas rather than take their chances with a jury. The likelihood that either or both could testify against him in exchange for leniency at sentencing could determine the course that Keith Perry, 38, takes in his defense. A grand jury this week indicted Perry on a host of charges, inc…

With the 40th anniversary approaching of the cold-blooded killings of two police officers and a guard in a $1.6 million Brinks armored car robbery, the law enforcement community felt slapped in the face by now-former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Hours before leaving his office in disgrace, Cuomo commuted the 75 years-to-life sentence to the 40 years of time that self-proclaimed revolutionary David Gilbert has served for the Rockland County murders. The law enforcement community reeled from the news Tuesday. Cuomo resigned "because he sexually harassed multiple women," Rockland County PBA …

Instead, there will be a moment of silence, district officials said. A memorial service honoring 16-year-old Jordan Falco during the 2021 graduation ceremony next Tuesday would "set a bad precedent," a Change.org petition quotes Northern Valley Demarest High School Principal Dr. Timothy Gouraige as saying. Gouraige, in his defense, told Daily Voice that it was "a district decision, not a building decision," and denied saying…
