New York City Man Charged in Teaneck Murder Pleads Not Guilty

Case heads to grand jury.

The Manhattan man charged with murder and arson in the killing of Teaneck software engineer Robert Cantor pleaded not guilty Tuesday to a host of charges filed in the 2011 shooting death.

Manhattan Man Charged in Teaneck Murder Refuses to Waive Extradition

Hearing set for later this month in alleged love-triangle murder case.

The New York City man charged with murder and arson in the killing of a Teaneck software engineer will face a hearing later this month after he refused to waive extradition to New Jersey, according to the Manhattan District Attorney's Office.  Sui Kam Tung, 49, was arrested Friday at his Upper East Side apartment more than a year after the murder of Robert Cantor.  When a defendant opts to fight extradition, prosecutors seek a  "governor's warrant" to have the accused returned to face charges, the Manhattan District Attorney's Office said. The process involves the governor of New Jersey sending a request to the governor of New York.  Tung's extradition hearing is scheduled for May 31, according to the District Attorney's Office.  New York …

Teaneck Cop Killer Charged with Forging Court Document

Killer used phony court ruling as basis for hearing, prosecutors allege.

One of the men convicted in the slaying of a Teaneck police officer has been charged with forging a court ruling related to his appeal, the Bergen County Prosecutor said Monday.  Kevin Lee, who is serving life for the 1996 murder of Teaneck patrolman Robert L. Fisher, filed an appeal in April 2011. The appeal was referred to the prosecutor's office by the state's Division of Criminal Justice.  As the state prepared a response, questions arose about a purported June 2010 appellate court decision showing Lee's cousin Kevin Richards, who was also convicted in the officer's murder, had been granted a hearing on fingerprint evidence, Prosecutor John L. Molinelli said. Lee used that to support his request for a similar hearing.  A review of the …

Jury Tampering Case Against Teaneck Man Dropped

Former state Assembly candidate could have faced prison time for advocacy efforts

A federal judge has dismissed the case against a Teaneck man charged with jury tampering for distributing pamphlets outside a New York City court advocating jury nullification. Retired chemistry professor Julian P. Heicklen was indicted in 2010 after he held a “Jury Info” sign and gave out the brochures arguing for nullification, which asks jurors to ignore laws they disagree with and acquit those accused of breaking the laws, the New York Times reported on its City Room blog. In a 27-page opinion filed Thursday, Judge Kimba M. Wood wrote, “...the Court holds that a person violates the statute only when he knowingly attempts to influence the action or decision of a juror upon an issue or matter pending before that juror or pertaining to …
