A former leader in the Orange County, New York prosecutor’s office, who was facing allegations of accepting bribery payments, died in a shooting at his home Tuesday morning as the FBI arrived to arrest him, sources familiar with the matter tell NBC New York.
Stewart Rosenwasser, the ex-chief counsel to the Orange County DA’s office and executive assistant district attorney, was accused of using his authority in the prosecutors’ office to initiate a criminal investigation at the request of a millionaire former restaurant owner, according to the unsealed federal indictment.
63k. How is bribery so cheap?
Isn’t that the kicker? Probably less than a year’s pay for that guy.
Wild guess that he may have had more skeletons in the closet than just this one.
How is life so cheap. Killed himself over $63k. If I was ever going to do something that catching consequences was going to make me kill myself, it would have to be a hell of a lot more money than that. Maybe at 100x I’d take my chances. Maybe. I just don’t understand.
People are so much stupider than I ever thought. And I thought I was a cynic.
You should look at how cheap it is to buy someone in Congress. It’s shockingly low.
I know that’s why I commented. Every time you see bribery it’s “well they bought me a sandwich”
Market value. Dude must have been really hard up for money.
Saved us all the bother and trouble of a trial and incarceration
I’d say good riddance, but this might result in justice denied for his victims since he can’t sing like a canary anymore.
Seems like they knew what he’d done, so hopefully they’ll be able to undo the damage.
DUN-DUN!
