I came to testify in front of the Judiciary Committee to legislators regarding corruption and unfairness in the courts and about gross Connecticut police misconduct. Armed Goons followed me around, talked about me over their radios, stared me down, and tried to terrorize me out of the Capitol. I was afraid of being arrested for attempting to Redress Grievances to elected officials and exercise my right to Free Speech. Governor Rell does the First Amendment apply in Connecticut and are Connecticut State Police Capitol Guards part of a larger force of police that act in secret and hunt and ruin those on the “Enemies List”?
I didn’t like the heroin and crack cocaine being sold off and near my rental properties in Stafford Springs, Connecticut that I had fixed up from a boarded up condition by teens and others drinking on my front lawn also using it as a toilet. I had gone the Connecticut State Police for help in finding who was illegally dumping trash on my properties. I was told by police that I would get a $100 per day fine until it was cleaned up. What!!!???
On 9-15-01 I wrote President George W. Bush and gave a copy of the letter to Rep. Mordasky and Sen. Guglielmo. I felt I was under siege and being punished not rewarded for having invested in downtown property and in running a small business. I felt that police and the courts were out to harm such individuals, not foster those investing and contributing to their downtown communities. I had felt Judge Jonathan Kaplan had wronged me and others in small claims and in civil matters. I was threatened with arrest by Connecticut State Police Officers if I complained to them about the drug dealing and other crimes going on and near my property. If I didn’t report crimes, and there were 3 arrests on my property, it could be taken under the nuisance statute.
I told Tony Guglielmo and Rep Mordasky’s aid Rosemarie that I intended to sue police for violating my rights and proposed Civilian Oversight of Police. Rosemarie, Mordasky’s aid, told me that the Police Liaison to legislators said I was going to be made toast and be retaliated on by the Connecticut State Police. That means I am on or was on the Connecticut State Police “Enemies List”. Was I put under surveillance and investigation by police at taxpayer expense to ruin me in retaliation for my wanting fairness and justice in Connecticut’s Culture of Corruption?
Connecticut State Police Officers were actively recruiting drug dealers, prostitutes, vandals, thieves and others to help them retaliate against me. This is how they operate in other cases, such as Police Officers paying Todd Vashon $10,000 cash to kill Phil Inkel for having made a police misconduct complaint. Stephen Murzin made a police misconduct complaint because Phil Inkel was being beaten by police and two bystanders and Stephen were stabbed by David J. Taylor. Stephen Murzin woke up in the hospital with 13 stab wounds and was promptly arrested by police for breach of peace. Taylor a felon on probation, was given a free pass by a Judge in a Connecticut “Corrutikourt” and served no prison time for almost killing 3 people.
Barbara Sattal was allegedly offered $10,000 to get me to drive drunk where drugs could be planted on me and police would then beat me, and charge me with drunk driving, drug charges, and assaulting officers. They could have railroaded me to prison for decades. Is this honorable and legal behavior that police should be involved in? Should taxpayers foot the bill for a Street Gang of Armed thugs, the Connecticut State Police?
Gordon J. Frassinelli, Jr., as selectman of Stafford Springs, Connecticut, allegedly had police stand outside town hall to keep me from speaking at an open town hall meeting, a public forum. Frassinelli of the Connecticut Department of State, allegedly alerted the Connecticut State Police Capitol Guards to ramp up their harassment of me when he pointed me out to them March 21, 2006.
I wrote Bush 9-15-01, I was assaulted 10-11-01 by a police informant on my property.
Alleged Connecticut State Police informant Brian Caldwell was threatening me with death and in cutting off my penis for 2 weeks. He told my tenants he would kill me when I got home. I was carrying pepper spray. He would even beat on my door after midnight disturbing my neighbors and tenants with his yelling of violent threats. I returned home from working a double shift got out of my van in a dark driveway and Caldwell jumped me from behind and started beating me. I feared for my life. I pepper sprayed Caldwell and Connecticut State Police Officers were immediately there to arrest only me. Caldwell continued to try and attack me and harassed me. I called Sen. Guglielmo each time Caldwell either attacked me again or tried to attack me again. Judge Jonathan Kaplan, a judge I tried to remove for two years, that also would make faces at me like a Jr. High hooligan when I sued tenants and others in civil court, presided and fixed my criminal case where he could sentence me to a year in prison, 3 years probation.
I was current on 3 mortgages and had a small business before I was attacked on my property. I now have nothing and can’t even get an apartment or a job with a criminal record. My family and my whole life has been ruined.
Governor Rell are you a solution to the corruption problem or are you part of the Corrupt Official Conspiracy to retaliate against citizens that want their tax dollar’s worth and honest government?
Should victims of Connecticut corrupt officials, judges, or police have their records expunged and be compensated? Should you propose a bill to the legislature?

The "Teflon Badge"
Hartford Connecticut Police Officer Robert Lawlor aka "The Teflon Badge"
Are White Officers that execute blacks in Connecticut able to get away with murder? The past policy seems to be for the prosecutor to purposely botch a criminal case involving an officer, so the racist officer skates on appeal.
Should an officer such as Lawlor, a White, shoot Blacks in the back, and then post his picture in front of a badge and an American Flag asking for donations on a website?
Connecticut State Police and Connecticut Police have made police misconduct all too common. You can be adducted (arrested) and beaten at Police HQ, just for making a police misconduct complaint. Colchester Connecticut Police Officers Nardella and Thomas arrested Stephen and Ian Murzin at their parents home. Their father happened to be a Hartford Detective at the time of his sons' arrest.
Stephen Murzin was home from the US Marines when he observed Phil Inkel being beaten at the Colchester Connecticut McDonald's Hamburger Restaurant. Phil Inkel had been beaten by Thomas and Nardella for having made a Police Misconduct Complaint because he observed Thomas and Nardella beating a teen for having worn baggy pants.
The Father, the Detective was harassed out of his job for wanting justice in the matter. His two sons will never be the same again, nor will they blindly trust any authority. Stephen Murzin was later stabbed 13 times by David J. Taylor, a felon on probation. Taylor, a police informant, also stabbed two other people. Taylor was not violated on probation and he did not go to prison for almost killing 3 people.
Todd Vashon, a police informant, who lost his nerve to kill either Phil Inkel or Stephen Murzin, talks about being given $10,000 cash for the murder for hire plot hatched by Colchester Connecticut Police Officers Nardella and Thomas. These police officers were never properly disciplined for such heinous behavior.
The Connecticut State Police Internal Affairs still have a policy of "Arrest and Discredit" when a citizen makes a police misconduct Complaint.
Connecticut prosecutors and judges cover up for police officers involved in misconduct and help retaliate against those that lodge police, prosecutorial, attorney, official, and judicial misconduct complaints.
The Connecticut Judiciary Committee that disciplines and confirms judges does neither as it is made up mainly of practicing lawyers that could lose their careers, face arrests and prison, be disbarred, and lose the sum total of their life's work to rule against abusive police, prosecutors, judges, and attorneys that serve the abusive system, not their clients.
A Judge feels it is ok to let this guy almost kill someone:
CAX - If this field is filled out, C = Conspiracy A = Attempt X=Accessory
Offense = M/F is Misdemeanor or Felony Indicator, What a person was charged with when they were arrested
Reduced to = M/F is Misdemeanor or Felony Indicator, What the original charges were reduced or changed to (if applicable)

I, Steven G. Erickson, tried to have Rockville Connecticut Superior Court Judge Jonathan Kaplan removed for bias in civil cases regarding the self-employed, contractors and landlords. I made complaints about Stafford Springs Connecticut are town and State Police. For being a victim of a strong arm attempted robbery and being assaulted on my own property, ending the beating I was taking with pepperspray, I was sentenced to a year in prison, 3 years probations, stiff fines, to see a psychiatrist twice a week (I must have been crazy to resist the felon trying to rob and kill me), drug and alcohol classes (I was not drunk or high when I was attacked and have no history, but my attacker was legally drunk when he assaulted me), a mental competency exam, and now have a criminal record preventing me from getting most employment and lodging. Where is justice in the American Justice System?
Judicial Immunity keeps Judge Jonathan J. Kaplan from being arrested and prosecuted for acting illegally and Unconstitutionally in my case. If Kaplan had sawed off my leg and I had lived, he would have done less damage to me and my family. I would still have the ability to purchase a home, health insurance, my small business built up over 2 decades, credit, a relationship with my National Honor Society Student daughter, retirement, my dog and other pets, and believe in honest, ethical courts and law enforcement.
Complaining about a judge, attorney, police officer, prosecutor, official, or one of their powerful friends can result in this:

State Police Leaders Scolded
Rell Summons Leaders To Meeting In Response To Troopers' Allegations Of Retaliation
By TRACY GORDON FOX |Courant Staff Writer
March 11, 2008
An angry Gov. M. Jodi Rell dressed down more than 60 state police managers at the governor's residence in Hartford Monday, warning that the department is about to "implode" and threatening to replace managers who could not properly supervise their ranks, according to sources who attended the meeting.
"I gave state police commanders a very direct message: They need to start leading," Rell said in a written statement Monday afternoon. "This is a time of turmoil in the agency and troopers are looking to their senior officers. The people of Connecticut — and I as their governor — demand that those officers provide strong, effective guidance."
Her harsh comments came after several weeks of testimony before the state legislature by troopers who said they had been victims of blatant retaliation by state police managers for being whistleblowers.
Last week, about 200 troopers attended a hearing before the legislature's public safety committee, asking lawmakers to help stop harassment and revamp the state police. State Police Union President Steven Rief sharply criticized the agency for severely punishing troopers for misdeeds, while being lenient with managers.
On Monday afternoon, managers' police cruisers lined side streets near the governor's residence, as lieutenants, captains, majors, and lieutenant colonels, some dressed in uniform, others in suits and ties, walked together through the iron gates up to the mansion. Managers — from lieutenants up to Public Safety Commissioner John A. Danaher III — attended a mandatory emergency meeting that lasted just 15 minutes before they walked back out to their cars solemnly.
Among those who testified about retaliation last week was Det. Karen Nixon, one of the whistleblowers who filed complaints about misconduct. She said two of her supervisors called the state Department of Children and Families to her home after she had a bad reaction to a medication. Nixon testified that she felt it was retaliation for being a whistleblower in the case of Eugene Baron, a trooper who had been stopped on suspicion of drunk driving four times and let go each time by state police. Baron has since retired.
Rell said in the statement she wants commanders to "listen to line troopers and respond."
"Those issues must be dealt with aggressively, responsibly and effectively. It is important that the command staff lead their agency with fairness, innovation and enthusiasm," Rell said.
During the meeting, Rell gave her support to Danaher, who has been commissioner of the embattled agency for just over a year, saying he is a good commissioner in a long line of them, sources inside the meeting said.
Afterward, Danaher said he will be putting some policy changes in place later this week, but declined to discuss them Monday.
"They are issues I have been talking to Steve Rief about for some time, policy issues we have been discussing," Danaher said.
Rief said the union has tried to deal with some of the issues Rell spoke of for the past year.
"I'm encouraged to hear the governor has recognized something we have been saying for quite some time," Rief said.
"It's a step in the right direction and I'm glad the governor is trying to set the tone. Hopefully, today is a start where they do get the message."
Right. We are going to believe a so called informant, a so called wing nut(Inkel) and the two sons of a Hartford Cop(Murzin) who was arrested for stealing. OK. I guess no one elses words count except those of these scumbags or any other scum bag who makes a complaint against a cop no matter how ridiculous. And People wonder why our society is going down the toilet. It sure isn't because of the cops now is it.
YOU have no idea what you are talking about. Let me explain a few things here. I know about this case. The cop (Murzin) was arrested May 16, 1997 on his birthday for Second Degree Larceny. He was charged for something the Police Chief says is not a crime. Murzin did nothing that other officers aren't doing now. Also, Murzin was given his job back!
Want the truth? Here it is ... back in 1997 Mr. Murzin was arrested on a defective warrant signed by a Judge Koltesky.
State's Attorneys, C. Robert Satti, James Thomas, and Judge Koletsky plotted this. Why? Because they believed Murzin was sticking his nose in where it didn't belong. The warrant was shopped for and no judge would sign it, but Koletsky agreed to sign it when he got back from his vacation in Utah.
How do we know? Because a court official warned Murzin and a few others that the warrant would be singed by Kolestsky. Then voila, like magic, the warrant appeared. The case just went away on an agreement.
Murzin was to agree to not to enter Wethersfield while on duty without permission from a supervisor.
He went to his probation appointment, but the probation officer had no record of him.
Do you think everyone here is that stupid?
Look at Murzin's retirement photos.
He is sneaking up on the Wethersfield town line. Too funny.
