Marzullo and the Golden Steer

via JG_TC online,

After a three-day bench trial, a Cook County judge granted a defense motion for a directed verdict of not guilty late Wednesday against Frank Marzullo, Berwyn's former public safety director; his son, former Cook County Assistant State's Attorney Jerry Marzullo; Frank Marzullo's brother, Russell Marzullo;

Berwyn Police Officer Michael Fellows and friend Charles Baugh.All were charged with aggravated battery for allegedly beating Wayne Pesek in a Forest Park bar on April 5, 2005, the evening of the municipal elections. Pesek, a former village manager for North Riverside, allegedly made a comment about losses in the election. The 54-year-old suffered broken facial bones, cracked ribs and a concussion in the alleged brawl.
Maybe this verdict makes sense if you sat through court. Marzullo seemed sunk to me.
Attorneys for the men charged said the judge's decision was not surprising because both Pesek and the bartender at the Golden Steer Restaurant gave conflicting testimony.
Still a great place for steak.

This is just another example of the statement "the best justice money can buy" and apparently Franky's pockets were bigger than those of Lisa Madigan and her pathetic band of Law School C average staffers.

The sad truth for Berwyn residents, is that this is yet another POX with which the town must contend. If you think that anything has changed here, only the demographics and resident's annual level of income.

The leadership of Berwyn is as corrupt as Marzullo in both thought and deed, placing their individual agenda's above the trust of the citizenry. As a result, the city has degenerated into the Cicero of ther early 90s.

To quote Jack Nicolson "What this Town Needs, is a good enema!"

Marzullo his family and goons are sooo guilty of beating someone almost to death, a judge let them go, they will meet there maker one day and then they will pay. They will all rot in hell! Our system is corrupt and I hope the money the judge made was worth it.
