Dear Sir or Madam:

Please accept this as our Internal Affairs complaint against the Assistant Prosecutor whose name is presently unknown who, on August 17, 2011, elicited misleading testimony from Plainfield Detective Green by way of  “a series a leading questions that for the most part required Green to give the equivalent of a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ response.”

As shown by the Appellate Division’s June 3, 2015 decision in State v. Akilah N. Murphy, Docket No. A-3662-12T3, a copy of which is on-line here, Green “misrepresented the sequence of events that led Baber to request the assistance of additional officers” and the Assistant Prosecutor participated in this misrepresentation by asking the leading questions that led to the misrepresented testimony.

Thank you very much for your attention to this matter.  Please confirm receipt and conduct an investigation.

Very truly yours,

John Paff, Chairman

08/16/17: At 1:30 p.m. I spoke with Lieutenant Dean Marcantonio who works at the Union County Prosecutor’s Internal Affairs Unit.  I explained that no response or acknowledgement had been received and he asked me to resent the original correspondence to his direct e-mail address, which I did.
