Aaron Twersky, the lawyer who represented the safety patrol for years, withdrew from the case in June, and in a letter to the court said the organization stopped cooperating with him and stiffed him on his fees.
:russ: That's about the most stereotypically Jewish thing possible!

They nearly beat him to death. Their assault left him blind in his right eye, and they all got away with it.

The only one who went to trial and was convicted had his guilty verdict overturned and the indictment thrown out. That was all for show, anyway. Hell, the case was closed until his mother went to the media.


When five Orthodox Jewish men were accused of beating — and partially blinding — a young black fashion student four years ago in Brooklyn, it briefly reignited one of New York City’s most incendiary racial divides: the one between the borough’s Hasidic and African-American communities.

The case became even more contentious when the prosecutors suddenly dropped their charges against two of the defendants and let the other two plead guilty to lesser crimes, avoiding time in prison. Only one man, Mayer Herskovic, was ultimately convicted at trial and sentenced to state prison.

But in a sweeping decision issued Wednesday, a state appeals court overturned Mr. Herskovic’s guilty verdict and threw out his indictment, saying there was simply not enough evidence to convict him, or to charge him in the first place.

In their decision, the appellate judges noted that the victim of the beating, Taj Patterson, had failed to identify his assailants and that the DNA evidence that prosecutors used to convict Mr. Herskovic was “less than convincing.”

While appeals courts sometimes dismiss a guilty verdict and order a defendant to be retried, it is much less common for an appellate panel to toss out a conviction on the facts, which leads automatically to the underlying indictment being dismissed.

But the judges for the Second Judicial Department Appellate Division used their “independent factual review power” to render what amounted to a post-trial acquittal.

The case began on Dec. 1, 2013, when Mr. Patterson, then 22, was walking toward the subway in the early morning hours after a night out drinking with his friends in Williamsburg. A group of Hasidic men — some of them members of the Shomrim, a local neighborhood watch patrol — chased and attacked him after receiving an erroneous report that he was vandalizing cars.

Some of men beat Mr. Patterson so severely that one of his eye sockets was fractured, leaving him blind in his right eye. Even though the police spoke to several witnesses and got the license plate number of a car that at least one of the attackers used to flee, the investigation stalled and the case was quickly closed.

It remained so until Mr. Patterson’s mother went to the news media with her son’s account and the police reopened the investigation, resulting in gang assault charges being filed against the men, including Mr. Herskovic. Now 24, Mr. Herskovic was sentenced last year to four years in prison.
