Their sentences of four months in prison were overturned on appeal, For Information or Directions call (718) 667-8100 according to court records, when, in 1980, a judge ruled the terms ex- cessive and gave both men “unconditional discharges.” For Dunbar, the punishment amounted to little more than a censure from the New York State Bar Association. An outright expulsion would only come from a felony, according to a spokesman for the organization. While it was front-page news in the days after the arrests, the inci- dent had, until now, sunk well below the surface. Patrick Purcell, the special district attorney assigned to the case, only vaguely recalled the episode. One detail he remembered, however, was that the transactions happened just outside of the DA’s office, in the parking lot. Dunbar has ties to elected officials from both sides of the aisle throughout Brooklyn. As an attorney specializing in the complexities of New York’s peti- tioning process to get on the ballot, he has formed alliances with every- OUR CHILD IS one from Republican state Sen.

Edolphus Towns. Many people who agreed to be interviewed for this article, some of who spoke on the condition of anonymity, placed the attorney on a pedestal. Several others, who believe Dunbar crossed them, tried to dig NO ANGEL. a deeper hole for him. Howard Graubard, a Democratic political activist with ties to state Sen. Marty Connor, said that Dunbar’s tendency as a registered Demo- crat to work for Republicans, most notably Golden, ruffled numerous feathers, especially in a borough largely controlled by Democrats. “What someone does in his youth doesn’t bother me. But ousting a [state] Senate Democrat gives me pause,” said Graubard, referring to Vincent Gentile, who lost his Bay Ridge state Senate seat in 2002 to Golden, whose petitions were overseen by Dunbar. Ralph Perfetto, a Democratic district leader representing Bay Ridge, said that he met Dunbar shortly after the death of Assemblywoman Eileen Dugan in 1996. “I consulted him and retained him for legal ad- vice,” while in search for a candidate to replace Dugan, he said. Perfetto characterized the Flatbush resident as an intelligent and successful man, with some political influence. Still, the discovery of Dunbar’s past indiscretions gave him pause. “When I found out he was running, I thought, ‘Why would he want to abandon a successful practice?’” said Perfetto, whose American Heritage Political Organization chose to endorse April Newbauer, Richard Izzo and Sol Needle for the judgeships earlier this month. “He’s not a lawyer who bounces from law firm to law firm. Finding out about this new information, I think it’s in the best interest of Gerry, the judicial system and the Democratic Party to just walk away. I can’t make the decision for him, but my opinion is to just walk away.” This year, 11 candidates are vying for Democratic Party nomina- tions for the three Brooklyn slots and two district openings. Following the indictment last year of Judge Gerald Garson on charges that he fixed divorce cases in exchange for money and gifts, and the 2002 conviction of Judge Victor Barron for extorting a bribe from an attorney, the Brooklyn Democratic Party overhauled its long- held practice of listing candidates as either “qualified” or “not ap- proved.” An 18-member panel formed last August to screen judicial candi- dates has yet to produce its ratings, said Robert Liff, a spokesman for Assemblyman Clarence Norman Jr., the Kings County Democratic leader. Norman has been at the center of an investigation by Brooklyn Dis- trict Attorney Charles Hynes into the sale of judgeships in Brooklyn. He was indicted in October on charges of stealing money from his campaign coffers and submitting fraudulent expense vouchers. A month later both Norman and the party’s executive director, Jef- frey Feldman, were slapped with a 22-count indictment charging them with extortion, grand larceny and conspiracy. Still, the panel’s failure to rate candidates would seem to benefit Dunbar, who was deemed “not qualified” by the Association of the Bar of the City of New York in a 1990 district civil court race. Whether that rating fueled his loss is unclear, but before the campaign reached November, Dunbar had dropped out. A second campaign, in 1999, may have been derailed by then-May- or Rudy Giuliani’s bid to revise the City Charter, said political pundits. Giuliani’s proposal drew a larger than normal number of local labor union members, who, historically, vote the Democratic Party line. Dunbar, that year, chose to run on the Independence and Conserva- tive party lines. He fell to Wayne Saitha, an attorney in Williamsburg, 6,300 votes to 4,300. Angels don’t need health coverage.

Osario was arrested in an April raid on her Sunset Park home. In- vestigators said they found a locked box containing four handguns. She was slapped with a misdemeanor weapons possession charge, which carries a mandatory one-year prison term, after police found the weapons, including a Tech-9 sub-machinegun. When she was arrested, she reportedly told police officers, “I al- ways sensed evil in that box.” Osario was put on the gang payroll “to foresee the future,” said prosecutor Deanna Rodriguez. The crew, Rodriguez said, would inquire, “We’re going to do this drug transaction. Is it the right time?” Despite Osario’s advice, the gang missed the fact that investigators had been watching them since last fall, authorities said. Wire taps on crew members’ phones picked up more than 30,000 conversations, in- cluding many with customers. The investigation came to ensnare more than 100 customers of the service, which spread the drugs throughout Children are eligible for Child Health Plus offered by Health Plus if they: are under the age Brooklyn on a daily basis, thanks to a fleet of eight cars that made reg- ular deliveries in Bay Ridge, Park Slope and Sunset Park.

Also indicted was John Carter, 36, considered by law enforcement officials as the group’s “enforcer.” Investigators said they intercepted www.healthplus-ny.org telephone conversations between Carter and Tracy Ortiz in which the two allegedly outlined plans for an armed robbery that they believed would net $300,000. Police say they also observed the two purchasing bulletproof vests, allegedly to be used during the job. —With Associated Press reports June 19, 2004 THE BROOKLYN PAPERS • WWW.BROOKLYNPAPERS.COM AWP 7
