Ted Williams

Battisti and his puppet masters are so vile, there are many people who will never vote for him. I also think Korchak will win the primary, but if not, there is a coalition so large against Battisti, he will have a very tough time in the general election.

Battisti never represented you in a drug sale case? And you never got a slap on the wrist from Mollen?

Sure, everyone needs a lawyer. But not a guy running for DA. Like you “99CorruptCourtStreet”. Have you ever been represented in criminal court by Paul Battisti?

And Battisti has the gall to use the news story in a political ad for his campaign.

Joe Zikuski made $114,000 in 2018 and Lisa made $73,000. Lisa has since retired from the city and is working for the state. At close to $190,000 how can these scumbags not pay their taxes? And this isn't the first time they have been in foreclosure, it seems to be a regular occurrence.

I've also worked with both sides. And having a guy running for DA, with a primary election a couple months away, run down to a police station, to tell a scumbag who killed a young girl with his car not to cooperate, infuriates me.

Why would Battisti involve himself in any new cases right now? If god forbid he is elected he would have a conflict with any case he’s involved with now, and all his former clients. All of these cases would be assigned to special prosecutors and cost the county money.

You are right. And you know Akshar will abuse his Port Dick job for his $75/hr business. Hopefully an outside agency audits Akshar's LERMS searches on a monthly basis.

I can't think of many active police officers who are also PIs. It's usually something they do when they retire. There's several out there now, but they're all retired. Correct me if I'm wrong?

WOW. What a bad couple weeks for Ben Bergman and Tom Jackson. First they got exposed for being hypocrites, and lost a lot of credibility, with the Paul Battisti tax lien video. Then Ben Bergman lost a trial in county court Monday. Now this shocking reversal from the state appeals court. The documents, which are on pressconnects and WBNG.com are pretty damning, it basically says Jackson "failed to take any action", when all he had to do was file this new indictment. I've heard about lazy attorneys, but this takes it to a whole new level. I agree with the original post, even a first year prosecutor should know to do this. Jackson was at the DA's office for about 10 years before they formed Jackson Bergman. How could he let this happen?

Doug Pipher the chief in Port Dick is a good guy. I can't believe he would willingly take Akshar on his force, even if it is just part time. Port Dick is very reliant on state grants, and they probably need Akshar to keep funding them with state money. But is it worth the headache? And what if Akshar makes an arrest? He's going to appear in court? What about having to be in Albany? I don't think this decision was very well thought out...

Rumor has it Fred Akshar posted on BCVoice for many years, and made many racist posts. Maybe someone can confirm?

Yes. In fact, Lisa Zikuski already left BPD for a job with the state, expecting her husband to retire soon. Joe Zikuski has been offered a job by Battisti.

Battisti is the biggest joke of an attorney in Binghamton. He’s afraid to go to trial. He wastes everyone’s time... police, witnesses, DA, judge. He neve has any intention of going to trial, but strings his clients along until the last minute. Aside from his tax problems, there’s a lot in his personal life he should be worried about. There’s a young lady related to the Zikuskis, who worked for Battisti’s limo business, who Mrs. Battisti had fired. If that vehicle is a rockin, don’t go a knockin...

Butash was also evading police, when he hit Deputy Botsford. Despite being the son in law of the Assistant Police Chief of Binghamton, he ran when police tried to pull him over. So much for respect for law enforcement. Bill Yeager has no balls. He's been a Zikuski yes man his entire career. Rather than stand up for what's right, Yeager has helped oversee the dismantling of the BPD, because of Zikuski. Yeager has been complicit in the corruption at the BPD, and he's no better than Zikuski. Now Yeager wants us to feel sorry for him and his family. Sorry Bill, what about all the families Joe Zikuski destroyed, while you stood by, encouraging him and covering up for him?
