Someone Needs to tell Kindlon/Shanks...

The Grimm Brothers on crack; Frankie the Fireman ‘the snitch’ Porco; the Bethlehem police department unequipped to investigate a crime, slime the defendant and plant mitochondrial DNA on a Thruway ticket instead of planting top-notch DNA in the yellow Jeep? Is this the best defense $200,000.00+ in fees and disbursement get you from a top notch defense attorney Terry Kindlon???

Someone needs to tell Kindlon and Shanks that Christopher is not a ‘child’, or ‘kid’ or ‘a minor,’ as they so like to refer to him. He was 21 years old at the time of the murder of his father and the attempted murder of his mother. He was savvy enough to stage three burglaries, two at Brockley Drive and one at the Vets where he still works; pretend to have mononucleosis so he wouldn’t get kicked out of school for not showing up at classes and exams; sell stolen equipment on E-Bay; tell an E-bay buyer that he was Chris’ brother and that Chris was dead and the computer the buyer paid Chris for, would not be forthcoming; forge his father’s signature on a car loan (the yellow Jeep) and a $32,000.00 loan for tuition that he told his parents he wasn’t being charged; falsify his college transcripts to hide his academic failures; and, use his brother’s identity so that his parking fines would be charged Johnathan Porco instead of Christopher Porco. And, there’s so much more!

Someone also needs to tell Laurie Shanks to stop rubbing Christopher’s back and arms. If it’s not totally disgusting to watch her fondle Porco in public and in front of the jury, it is, at the very least, unprofessional.

Someone needs to tell Kindlon to stop referring to Peter Porco as “Gentle Peter:” it makes us nauseated! Kindlon paints a picture of our Peter as “quiet, reserved, unemotional; gentle… ad nausea! It’s almost as if it’s okay that Peter Porco was murdered because he was such a quiet, gentle man that he was half-dead anyway! WRONG! Peter Porco was an alive, vibrant, generous, considerate, intelligent man who loved being alive…loved being active. Peter was a man of many interests: Camping; canoeing; cooking (an eating); working within the Court system; practicing and participating in his Catholic faith; helping neighbors do those things they couldn’t do for themselves; and, being the kind of family man who loved his wife, his children, his mother, his siblings, his in-laws, and, his friends (except that he would be angry at JPolster right now for his betrayal.) Yes, Peter was alive and he was looking forward to living an active life for many years to come. His family longs for Peter to be present to them now… not because he was “Gentle” but because he was so wonderful to be with for so many different reasons!!!

Someone needs to tell Kindlon and Shanks to stop using Joan for photo ops as a defense strategy. The kissing, hugging, knee rubbing and arm-in-arm public display between mother and son is just too contrived. If Joan needs something to hang on to, then let it be the truth!

And, someone needs to ask Kindlon/Shanks why not one family member (other than Joan) will testify for the defense on behalf of Christopher.
