CREST HAVEN — Cape May County Prosecutor Robert Taylor on Thur., March 10 addressed Wildwood Mayor Gary DeMarzo’s continued call for a videotape regarding a December 2000 beating of a handcuffed prisoner:
“In my opinion, Mayor DeMarzo is using the videotape as a smoke screen. The mayor was a participant in the December 2000 incident. He witnessed it. If a handcuffed prisoner was brutally beaten, why didn’t Patrolman DeMarzo report that in December 2000, which was his sworn duty as a police officer at the time?” Taylor told the Herald.
“The mayor says he wants to give the video tape to David Romeo’s attorneys, the Romeo matter is now on appeal in the Appellate Division of the Superior Court,” he continued.
“The Attorney General’s Office is handling the appeal for the State of New Jersey. If Romeo’s attorney wants the videotape they will have to go through the regular criminal discovery under the rules of court.
“The Attorney General would have to approve the release of the video tape to the city and the mayor. The mayor and his attorneys should know better. Perhaps the mayor wants to sue the Attorney General,” Taylor concluded.
Cape May – Governor Murphy says he doesn't know anything about the drones and doesn't know what they are doing but he does know that they are not dangerous. Does anyone feel better now?
