States Attorney Matt Maciarello sat with Police Chief Barbara Duncan and viewed video footage and immediately said, I'm NOT prosecuting this case and the charges were immediately dropped.
What's not been stated publicly, (other then Salisbury News) is that Officer Aita is no longer with the Salisbury Police Department. What's also not been stated is that Rommel has been winning each and every case. Instead, Mayor Jimmy Ireton continues to act like a fool by stating he wants to know WHY Rommel has it out for the City. HELLO JIMMY, the mere fact that Rommel keeps winning, (what, SEVEN cases so far) proves that he is doing so because this Officer is obviously out of line.
Well Jimmy, let's also say that it was one of your SISTERS being attacked by a Police Officer. Just because many of these people are BLACK, doesn't mean they don't have the same RIGHTS as one of your sisters.
I say GOD BLESS the Luke Rommel's of the Shore who are willing to stick their necks on the line for the most UNPOPULAR cases with clients who can't afford the RIGHT kind of representation. Then, (of course) there's the PRESS who regularly shies away from bucking the system by exposing rogue cops or municipal improprieties.
I've said it from day one, you want a great Lawyer, call Luke Rommel. He's not a pit bull. He's a genuine good guy who wants to do what is right and fair. And who's left out of these discussions, the honorable Judges who decide the outcome of such cases. What I see is, there's no Good Ol' Boys in the Wicomico judicial system. These men and women deserve to be recognized.
Great article.
ReplyDeleteand Somerset hires him right away... what's up with this kid anyways...
ReplyDeleteHYW are you always no negative and rooting against the City of Salisbury? You seem and sound like a bitter little man. If you hate Salisbury and Wicomico County so much why not just go away....far away. You are of no value to the quality of life here; you're just a troll.
ReplyDelete.IMO you root against the LE also and encourage your readers to do the same
DeleteIn 1962, President Kennedy proclaimed May 15th as National Peace Officers Memorial Day and the calendar week in which May 15th falls, as National Police Week.
You and Obama pathetically believe LEO, our protectors, were put on earth to vilify. There are a few bad apples in any profession but if you look at postings on your blog and the nasty comments, it will show overwhelming "bad cop" and a few "good cop".
Today is May 15th. - can you post good cop stories for the rest of the week and make me a liar.
Let's hope that for the publics safety and for his own well being.....Officer Aita changes professions
ReplyDeleteThis punk should have been fired. But because the city is so pussieifed they let him resigned. We have not heard the last of this little thug.
ReplyDeleteRommel doesn't just file these cases on his own. He files because he has a client who was wronged and wants justice.
ReplyDeleteWhy are you so anti-gay? It's very ugly, Joe.
ReplyDeleteWhat did Somerset hire him to do?
ReplyDeleteHe is now a county Mountie
DeleteRommel is a pile of garbage. Im sure something was done that he didnt like, maybe a parking ticket or something. The people he represents were criminals and if they were not breaking the law they would have not had police contact. The college kids are the typical my mommy and daddy have money and you cant do anything to me. Why cant you go to school and graduate without issues? Pretty sure I had a great time growing up without police contact.
ReplyDeleteAre you seruous.? Officer , everyone is a criminal right? The three kids harassed by him with no drugs, sober, and not even a driving violation were criminals?
Delete9:12 they hired him to knock heads on the street
ReplyDeleteHaHaHa LEO = Our Protectors I guess you live in the bury
ReplyDeleteYea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
some of us don't need LEO for protection
Now you ALL coming down on Salisbury blog needs to GET THE FACTS! If I told you what has happened to my child here locally, you all mouths would fall open!! Salisbury PD has been doing this ONGOING AND ONGOING forever!! It way past the time that this get CLEANED UP! All of Wicomico county "good ole boy" system also. Salisbury PD has been violating people's rights and abusing their power for a very long time!! Thank goodness for a local attorney who has heard and did his judicial duty to prosecute!!! People...listen to me...your child gets charged with anything here in Wicomico County...HIRE AN OUTSIDE ATTORNEY!!! No one from here.... You chances of justice will BE 100 TIMES OVER!!! I don't Rommell but GREAT deal of respect to take on this county and Salisbury PD to show the community the ABUSE OF POWER AND CORRUPTION!!!!
ReplyDeleteIf there were more Luke Rommel's in this country I can assure you without a doubt the rogue cops there would be far less malfeasance in this area!
ReplyDeleteThis area is corrupt, mismanaged, ultra liberal, and an embarassment. I hope more people challenge the ethics and operation of the leaders of the City, County, & State. Don't take the abuse and crap that is dished out daily from our elected leaders. I applaud this attorney, and obviously he knows what he's doing because he's winning his cases.
ReplyDelete11:52 am.....Very good point!!! Enough is enough now!! How very true that is!!!
ReplyDeleteI wish National TV stations and/or Department of Justice would come in here and so "how good ole boys roll". They honestly think they are "above review and legal accountability" (meaning Wicomico County Judicial System) and Salisbury PD but this is known MISCONCEPTION!! IT WILL HAPPEN...THEY WILL COME!!
I just learned the F.O.P. has contacted the Attorney Generals Office on Rommel and Wicomico State's Attorney. Information is that the arrest made were within the law. The older women took the baton from officers and assulted one officer striking him in the head. The State F.O.P. will be filing a freedom of information in this case. I hope all parties were legally correct in their actions against this officer. Joe the past cases may have had merrit this one is a snow job.
ReplyDeleteThis was the second time officers responded to this location. A women reported being cut with a knife on the second contact and pointed out who assaulted her with the knife. The officers tried to arrest the suspect and the family obstructed the arrest.
I guess we just let thugs do what they want in this county. I hope Aita and Caputo sue the crap out of Rommel and anyone else that caused slanderous reporting in the media.
This matter is far from over.
Oh Marty! You and your FOP thugs. You can't always have your way. You and your criminal thugs are going to pay. Do all you have to. The end result lies in the hands of the people you and your flunkies have failed. And as far as letting thugs do what they want in this county...... You and your deputies and other local Leos have been thugging for decades in this county. From beatings to murders and simply ticketing folks wrongfully. Your right this matter is far from over. The three % are growing.
DeleteAWWWWW... 9:39 comment. Let me guess,,,He won't play political corruption for you and your boys at Wicomico County... So you try to "kick him out of Salisbury". People are talking....Contact Department of Justice and make them aware of the corruption here locally...!!!!! Make verbal and written complaints... Judges included. They will come!!!
ReplyDeleteThis kid is the first lawyer on the shore to really stand up against the police. We have always had to go across the bay. Thank you Luke! Thank you for not being part of the good old boys.
ReplyDelete12:50 pm. Bullcrap!! You are so full of it... police get together and tell "one (their)story".
ReplyDeleteUnbelievable, corruption at its' best!
They say Salisbury PD needs body cameras...I say..the heck with that. Our citizens are the ones that need the body cameras. All Salisbury PD would do is erase the footage or swear "it was lost or destroyed accidentally". Seen that one happen also!!
12:50....bahahaha!! Nice try...lmao!!
ReplyDeleteNice try..you can't scare the public to back down anymore...YOUR ENTIRE STORY IS MADE UP just to get the public to back down. Dear God...you are that desperate!
I bet you other LOCAL attorneys are soon will follow. They will eventually have to get on the "Winning Team" if they want to keep in business in Salisbury.
ReplyDelete11:52,I agree
ReplyDelete"just learned from the F.O.P"...hahahah. are you serious?! That comment alone goes to show you how they try to SCARE and intimidate people. It just goes to show you how SCARED they are for themselves!!! Have to go to some crazy comment hopefully people will take the bait and believe that crap!! hahahaha...still laughing.....
ReplyDeleteHe is winning because he has figured out the cities and counties pay out cheaper to settle. He is not winning he is stealing your tax dollars idiots. He sees cops as cash cows. Who can lock up a thug without a fight really Joe. Think about it. Good people dont have contact with the police. Most posters are against cops have been arrested.
ReplyDeleteTake 1:45 he is a hater and has been punked in jail. He was a snitch then and he is a snitch now. Every cop knows who he is. All mouth all the time. He hates cops because he got punked in jail. Just like the rest of the druggies. All these haters are former or current thugs.
There are ambulance chasers and there are thug chasers. Rommel is a thug chaser.
Assume much? And who can lock up a criminal without a fight? You cops want to fight. You look for any reason. And to assume a comment comes from one person shows your ignorance. FYI.... I've never been arrested. And I have had contact with police. Not once was it a nice experience.
DeleteThat is funny 2:51 ...Explain how the SU student cases were dismissed. There was no money involved there...Criminal case not Civil!!
ReplyDeleteGood People??!!! hahaha Oh yes they do, you obviously have no idea. Innocent people get BEAT UP AND THROWN AROUND all the time by Salisbury Pd. More and more I think about telling my story.... I think it's about time to shed EVEN MORE LIGHT ON THE CORRUPTION OF SALISBURY PD!!!!!!!!!
Salisbury police Dept. is nothing more than a training ground for surrounding police depts..
ReplyDeleteThey do or did have some bad apples. Anyway , it's been like that for many years , these young cadets get out of the academy and think they are above the law and write the law. Most officers know what I'm saying , Just ask Ian Grays buddy in Bivalve .
5:05 I have never been locked up. I have been stopped. Cops were polite both times. Once got a ticket I truly deserved. Next time a warning I was thankful for because I was speeding. I guess they are like store clerks some good some bad. Either way I want to see the truth come out. Let the cards fall
ReplyDeleteI have had great convos with police officers at poker tournaments and just in stores or around town. But when it comes to their official duties they act more military then put on tough guy routines. Its not canny. You maybe right. Maybe they're like clerks. Our experiences are different. I find it funny that the cop assumed I was some other person. Must be a bad clerk.
DeleteI have not read or seen any source of the media give an official press release on this matter from the F.O.P.. I ask that everyone respect the process. The State's Attorney as well as Chief Duncan have proceeded in manner they felt was best for the officers involved and the matter of law.
ReplyDeleteSo I ask that no one speak for the F.O.P. in this matter unless it is an official press release. The F.O.P. supports all Officers out there doing a challenging job in challenging times. The F.O.P. is aware of this situation and respects the legal process. Naturally the F.O.P. is monitoring these types of complaints. The officers are afforded due process under the law just as the complainants. It is the responsibility of the F.O.P. to ensure that due process is followed. The system works and this matter will be resolved.
As for anyone having issues with F.O.P. members as stated in some of the post directed at the F.O.P. please feel free to contact me. I would love to hear what your concerns are in person.
As for the officers out there serving and protecting daily God Bless you and stay safe. The F.O.P. supports you.
Marty Fisher
President F.O.P. Lodge 111
Thank you Mr. Albero for your attention in this matter.
Who exactly are the 3% can anyone answer this. Is that the % that will change America? I keep hear this term what does it mean ??
ReplyDeleteAbout time they have an attorney here that's not in the good ole boy network and will stand for what is right.
ReplyDeleteIF I need an attorney, this will be my choice.
ReplyDeleteAgree...Maybe now Wicomico County Citizens won't have to go "out of town" to get an attorney that will fairly represent them!!! We all know that Wicomico County behind the scene "discuss deals" and is decided before you even step into a court room. Now, how unlawful is that!!! Judges shouldn't hear a case until it is presented in front of them!
