WHAT WOULD HAVE PETER DONE?

Patty Szostok spoke for our family and her brother when she said that she had to trust in the process as Peter had, all his life. That process did not let us down. It, through the efforts of so many, found the evidence, brick by brick, and created the walls that will hold Christopher away from the family he deceived and used, and society for the rest of his life. The process was made very difficult by the protections afforded defendants, which is as it should be. But, the truth found its way thru all the obstacles, and reached out to the jury. And, that jury did not fail the process with “unreasonable doubt”; neither did it show unreasonable sympathy for the defendant because he was constantly referred to as a “child,” nor because his mother once again tried to save him from the consequences of his behavior.
There is no doubt that a portion of Christopher’s defense has been paid for by Peter’s insurance benefits. All along, Joan’s family has questioned the legal advice that has been given her by her attorney, John Polster. He has worked closely with the defense team and has allowed Joan to pay for Christopher’s defense. He has encouraged Joan to separate herself from any and all family members who couldn’t support Christopher 100%. He allowed Joan to be a defense pawn. He has defended his actions by saying that his client, Joan, wanted to defend her son, and he has only helped her to do so…and, helped the defense duo, Kindlon and Shanks. He has had the nerve to say that he knows that Peter Porco would want him to be Joan’s attorney and to help her protect their son!
Peter Porco, himself, told Christopher that he would have to press charges against him for his forgery of loans which were ruining Peter’s credit and which were illegal. Does John Polster really believe that if Peter Porco was willing to press charges against his son for forgery, he would want Polster to defend his son against murdering him and trying to murder his wife? … And, using his (Peter’s) life insurance proceeds to do so? How much money does anyone really think Peter wanted Chris to steal from him, alive or dead?
The next trial our family is waiting for is the NYS Bar Associations unethical and criminal proceedings against John Polster. Now Joan knows that a jury has weighed the evidence and found her son guilty; she has to know that she was mislead by John Polster… who was working for Shanks and Kindlon … and, that she was not doing what Peter would want her to do for Christopher…as Polster worked so hard to convince her of.
But, wait… I hear the sound bites of “appeal” being shouted into any media device available. Do I also hear the sound of money being drained from Joan’s assets? Yep! Is her faithful attorney John Polster encouraging her to finance such an appeal because Kindlon says the record is “fraught with reversible errors?” … Someone needs to stop the madness and retrieve her from the clutches of Polster, Kindlon and Shanks and return Joan to her family who truly loves her
