Alibi for Man Accused of Starting Greenpoint Fire

2 menThe man sitting on Riker's Island accused of starting the largest fire in New York City since 9/11 may have an alibi after all. Zbigniew Sarna, a mason from Pond Eddy, N.Y, has come forward to say that the accused, Leszek Kuczera, was in Upstate New York at the time doing contractor work for him. Tom Cleary of the Legal Aid Society said it will check out Kuczera's alibi. "If it's strong enough, we'll try to get him released." The NYPD declined to comment. The conspiracy theorists must be buzzing.

How much did Gutshit pay the slob to take the fall? That's what they should be looking into. But they (Police etc) because it's to much work.

i bet the cops didnt even bother to hire a translator when they got the confession out of him. but instead probably pull some joe off the streets and ask to translate for them.

Gutless and his son were the translators.They probably provided the coffee and douhnuts for the Precinct.
No wonder Kelly is so upset about the cut in fed funding for his army. Now they will do even less work.
