According to the statement, the FBI did “a careful and thorough review” of the case found that the evidence was not sufficient enough—beyond a reasonable doubt—to convict the officers. “Accordingly, the investigation into this incident has been closed,” said the report.
At a hearing in Al Sharpton’s headquarters in Harlem, U.S. Attorney Benton Campbell met with the family members and friends of Bell. They said they would continue to push for the termination of the three officers’ jobs and wants the city to be held accountable.
“It’s not the first time I’ve been let down,” said Bell’s fiancee Nicole Paultre Bell in an Associated Press report. “It’s happening all over again.”
Bell was leaving his bachelor party at a club in Queens when he was shot and killed. The officers were investigating reports of prostitution at the club and said they heard Bell say he was going for a gun.

Officer Jose R. Rios is the LGBT Liaison assigned to Chicago’s 23rd District. He describes police-community relations, as being “in really good standing; and it is continuing to grow. We deal a lot with the [LGBT] Center on Halsted, right next to my district. We also deal with the Howard Brown Health Center, and work closely with the North Halsted Merchants Association.”
Thayer disavows that last sunny assessment. “If you’re a businessman on Halsted Street who contributes to the city administration,” he says, “then things are probably fairly good for you.”
If, however, you’re a young African American (the target of numerous complaints by local gay business owners), “Your life is considerably different if you can’t afford the bars and you just hang out on the street,” Thayer says. “We hear over and over again allegations of prostitution; and those all are focused exclusively on the youth – not their alleged patrons. The latter have got the money to patronize the bars. There’s not only a racial thing going on here, there’s a class thing.”

After a careful and thorough review, a team of experienced federal prosecutors and FBI agents determined that the evidence was insufficient to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the law enforcement personnel who fired at Bell, Guzman, and Benefield acted willfully. Accordingly, the investigation into this incident has been closed.
The Civil Rights Division, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York and the FBI devoted significant time and resources to complete a thorough analysis of the evidence developed during the investigation, according to a Justice Department statement.
The 23-year old Bell was killed and his friends were seriously wounded outside of the Kalua Cabaret in the Queens section of New York City in 2006. Bell, Benefield and Guzman were leaving Bell’s bachelor party by car.
At the time, the NYPD officers, all undercover detectives, had been investigating reports of prostitution at the club.

Prostitution sting leads to two arrests in West New York
February 17, 2010, 7:05AM
WEST NEW YORK — For the sixth time in six weeks, police have made prostitution arrests in the town, officials said.
The Street Crimes Unit received a tip that business cards advertising the illicit services were being handed out, reports said.
The card, written in Spanish, pretended to advertise a moving business, said Police Director Albert Bringa, but the hours of operation — from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. — were suspect.
On Friday at 7:30 p.m., an officer called the number on the card and a man picked up phone, at which point the officer requested a woman, gave the man on the phone a Hudson Avenue address, and was told to wait 15 minutes.

Luna is charged with prostitution. Castillo is charged with promoting prostitution.

In a statement issued to the paper by Vini Scalise of the Brooklyn Gambino family, Mr. Scalise said, “Des guys for years stay there on Wall Street, you know, they do their thing. We don bother them. They don bother us. Closest we get to them, we buy our suits at the same place. Now, here they come and try to take our loan sharking business away from us, you know just like dat, they think they can blow us off. Next thing, they will be into prostitution and drugs.”
…
When reporters went to Goldman Sachs to get a response to the lawsuit, the CEO reacted angrily. “We are not some kind of hoodlums here and obviously Mr. Italian person doesn’t know the difference. We have no intention, at this time, to get into the business of prostitution. We have enough to do handling the Congressmen, Senators and a couple of Supreme Court Justices. We have nothing, whatsoever, in common with these people, except maybe, where we buy our suits.”

Siwik says: “It was a complete joke – my sister doesn’t care about anybody but herself. My sister may have had a miscarriage because she suffered those before but I do not believe anything else she said.” James’ sister continues: “If she was really that interested in Tiger Woods and his family then she would not have got involved with him in the first place because he was married.” She explains: “I think she was acting for the camera and her whole new look was trying to make herself out to be an innocent and more professional person when the reality is that she works in adult entertainment industry. The whole thing was phony because she is not a prim and proper person who cares about other people.” The sister concludes: “If she had gotten any money from them she could not have cared less – I just hope she gives some of the money from her interview to her son because she has not seen him for a few years now.”

Citing insufficient evidence, federal authorities will not bring a civil rights case against New York City police officers involved in the 2006 killing of Sean Bell, the 23-year-old black man who was shot by police outside a strip club on his wedding day, the New York Times reports.  Five police officers fired 50 shots into the car Bell was driving.
Federal investigators did not find enough evidence to prove that the officers had willfully acted to deny Bell and two passengers their constitutional rights. “Neither accident, mistake, fear, negligence, nor bad judgment is sufficient to establish a federal criminal civil rights violation,” the Justice Department said. Any disciplinary action now lies with the police department, whose critics saw the shooting as an indictment of police training and officers’ use of deadly force.

Federal authorities will not pursue charges against the officers involved in the fatal shooting of Sean Bell, the unarmed bridegroom who died in a hail of police bullets outside a Queens strip club hours before his wedding, officials said yesterday.
Prosecutors said there was “insufficient evidence” that Bell’s civil rights were violated when undercover officers unloaded on a car carrying Bell and two friends on a Jamaica street in November 2006.
…
Bell, 23, and two friends, Trent Benefield and Joseph Guzman, had piled into Bell’s car after leaving a bachelor party at a Jamaica strip club when they were confronted by a team of undercover cops who believed they were retrieving a gun to settle a score at the club. All three were wounded in the fusillade that killed Bell.

The prison industry is the foundation of local economies in many parts of the state. And for years, the correctional facilities spread throughout the vast rural stretches of the state helped protect Republican legislative districts from dwindling populations — the inmates are counted as permanent residents when maps are drawn for the Senate and the Assembly.
Yet the prisons survive changes in the political weather.
A little more than two years ago, the governor announced that he would close four unnecessary prisons. But that governor’s name was Eliot Spitzer.
At the time, Republicans controlled the State Senate, and their majority leader was hailed in a rally outside the Capitol by correction officers who chanted, “Joe Bruno! Joe Bruno!”
Mr. Bruno has since moved on, resigning suddenly one day, and then slowly being turned on a prosecutor’s spit for using his Senate powers to stoke his private business interests. Mr. Spitzer left even more quickly in a prostitution scandal.
