Victims' relatives face murder suspect Nicholas Tartaglione in court

http://www.lohud.com/story/news/crime/2017/02/16/victims-relatives-face-murder-suspect-nicholas-tartaglione-court/98001322/

Relatives of some of the four men allegedly killed by ex-Briarcliff Manor cop Nicholas Tartaglione faced him for the first time Thursday during a brief appearance in federal court in White Plains.

The victims' relatives said they found it hard to see Tartaglione come into the courtroom smiling and blowing a kiss to his parents and girlfriend.

"It was like a family reunion for them," Celia Luna, sister of victim Martin Luna, said in Spanish translated by a relative. "I don't think he knows how serious this is."

Tartaglione, 49, is accused of killing Luna, Urbano Santiago, Miguel Sosa-Luna and Hector Gutierrez on April 11 at a bar in Chester owned at the time by his brother.

The men were from the Middletown area and their whereabouts were unknown for the next eight months until authorities on Dec. 20 dug up their bodies on an Otisville property where Tartaglione had lived. A day earlier, Tartaglione was indicted on charges accusing him of killing them as part of a drug conspiracy involving the sale of five kilograms of cocaine. He could face the death penalty.

Tartaglione's appearance before U.S. District Judge Kenneth Karas lasted less than five minutes, with Assistant U.S. Attorney Maurene Comey saying prosecutors were still awaiting the final autopsy reports and results of ballistics, trace evidence, fingerprint and DNA tests that are underway at the FBI lab in Quantico, Va.

From last month:

Families of Middletown murder victims tired of waiting

http://www.recordonline.com/news/20170426/families-of-middletown-murder-victims-tired-of-waiting

More than a year after the men were reported missing and almost five months after remains believed to be theirs were dug up in Mount Hope, relatives of the men said Wednesday they’re growing impatient about the pace of the case against Nicholas Tartaglione, 49. Their frustration is heightened by the fact that the bodies have not been released to the families.

“We’re not at peace,” said Selina Luna, daughter of one of the men. “We don’t have their bodies to bury them.”

Assistant U.S. Attorney Maurene Comey told the judge that prosecutors are still waiting for ballistics tests and lab reports for the case to come back from a laboratory in Quantico, Va. Their status didn’t appear to change much since a conference in January.

The next court date is scheduled for June 7th.

Feds: NY school guard helped ex-cop execute 4 in drug deal gone wrong

A second person has been arrested on murder charges in connection with the deaths of four suburban New York men whose bodies were found after they went missing during a drug deal.

Federal prosecutors say 55-year-old Joseph Biggs, a security guard at a school in Hastings-On-Hudson, was arrested on Thursday. Information on his lawyer wasn't immediately available.

Ex-cop, school guard charged in quadruple slaying appear in federal court

http://www.lohud.com/story/news/2017/06/07/ex-cop-school-guard-charged-quadruple-slaying-appear-federal-court/376516001/

Two bodybuilders accused in a quadruple homicide — one an ex-cop, the other a school security guard — made their first joint appearance in federal court Wednesday as the victims' relatives looked on.

Nicholas Tartaglione, an ex-Briarcliff Manor police officer who was first arrested in the case in December, pleaded not guilty Wednesday to a new indictment that added kidnapping charges to the earlier drug conspiracy and murder counts. His co-defendant, Joseph Biggs of Nanuet, had pleaded not guilty last Thursday after FBI agents arrested him in the parking lot of the Greenburgh-Graham schools in Hastings-on-Hudson, where he had worked for the past four years.

Since he's not a cop anymore there might actually be a chance he'll be found guilty.

How is it that Joseph Biggs was a school security guard when in 2015 he almost strangled a man to death at his daughter's basketball game?!

Feds: Nick Tartaglione likely not present when three men fatally shot

http://www.lohud.com/story/news/2017/09/19/nick-tartaglione-court/681129001/

Former Briarcliff Manor cop Nicholas Tartaglione, charged in the killings of four Orange County men over a drug deal gone bad, was not present when three of the men were shot, federal prosecutors believe.

Defense lawyer Bruce Barket said the prosecution's opinion was offered in a recent letter but that he wants them to elaborate further on why they came to that conclusion.

Barket said he has pressed prosecutors for the factual basis of their opinion but that they told him that what was included in the letter was all they were required to give him. He expects to ask the judge to direct the prosecution to elaborate.

Nicholas Tartaglione moved body before three others were killed: Feds

http://www.lohud.com/story/news/2017/10/23/tartaglione-moved-body/791801001/

Federal prosecutors have explained why they don't think ex-Briarcliff Manor cop Nicholas Tartaglione was present when three men were fatally shot in an Orange County bar.

He was busy transporting the body of another victim to his ranch, the prosecutors contend.

Prosecutors urged the judge to deny a defense request for detailed evidence as to how authorities knew Tartaglione wasn't there when Santiago, Gutierrez and Miguel Luna were shot.

Prosecutors reveal motive in killings of Middletown men

Ex-cop Nicholas Tartaglione and his co-conspirators in a drug-trafficking scheme killed Martin Luna because they believed he stole money, and they killed Luna’s two nephews and a friend because they had the misfortune to be with Luna when he was lured into a trap at a Chester bar, prosecutors said in court papers filed on Wednesday in federal court.

The latest revelations by prosecutors came after Tartaglione’s lawyer, Bruce Barket of Barket Marion Epstein & Kearon in Garden City, demanded disclosure of information showing that Tartaglione wasn’t present for the deaths of three of the men. The distinction is critical, Barket wrote in court papers, “to our pending request that the Government not seek the death penalty in Mr. Tartaglione’s case.”

Barket has asked the court to order prosecutors to immediately disclose witness statements and other relevant evidence.

Quadruple murder defendant’s lawyers seek prosecutors’ evidence

Tartaglione’s lawyers told Judge Kenneth Karas on Tuesday that knowing why prosecutors say Tartaglione left the bar before the shooting of Morales-Santiago, Gutierrez and Sosa-Luna would provide crucial context. That could help the defense thoroughly investigate the case before trial, and to more effectively argue against the death penalty.

The defense wants the material now, rather than just before trial, when prosecutors are obliged to hand it over.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Maurene Comey said prosecutors oppose the demand for two reasons: on principle, and because of safety concerns for the witnesses and their loved ones.

Judge: Tartaglione lawyers not entitled to early look at evidence

http://www.recordonline.com/news/20171219/judge-tartaglione-lawyers-not-entitled-to-early-look-at-evidence

Defense lawyers for a former cop charged in the kidnapping and killing of four Middletown men won’t get an early look at evidence that shows why prosecutors believe he wasn’t present when three of the four victims were slain, a federal judge ruled Tuesday in White Plains federal court.

Tartaglione and Biggs, both in custody, will return to court Feb. 7 for a conference.

“The retired cop charged with killing four Middletown men was attacked in prison and seriously injured last month, and his mental state has deteriorated after federal prison officials placed him in solitary confinement, his lawyers wrote last week in a letter to the federal court.”

“Federal prosecutors still haven't decided whether to seek the death penalty against a retired police officer and a former school security guard charged with killing four Middletown men, but confinement conditions have improved for the ex-cop, lawyers said Monday in U.S. District Court.”

Nick Tartaglione's long wait for decision on death penalty not unusual

Nearly a year and a half after former Briarcliff Manor Police Officer Nicholas Tartaglione was charged in a quadruple homicide, federal prosecutors have yet to signal whether they will seek the death penalty in the case.

The lapse between indictment and a decision on capital punishment is not out of the ordinary, though, as a review of recent cases shows. In the six cases in which the U.S. Department of Justice has approved seeking the death penalty since December, the average time it took to decide was about 15 months, with two of the cases taking more than 21 months.

Joseph Biggs is also awaiting a decision on whether he will face capital punishment. His lawyer, George Goltzer, declined to discuss details of the case or say whether he had submitted Biggs' mitigation material.
