David Nilsen is a 27-year veteran of the NYPD, who, throughout his career in law enforcement, has worked tirelessly to make Staten Island a safer place. He served as Commanding Officer of the Staten Island Homicide Squad from 2006-2014, supervising over 300 non-fatal shootings and over 100 homicide investigations. Prior to that role, Lt. Nilsen served as Commanding Officer of the 120 Precinct Detective Squad, from 2001-2006, providing supervision and guidance for over 3,500 investigations annually.

After leaving the Bronx DA’s office, Johnson worked as an Agency Attorney for the Department of Education in the Office of the General Counsel, from 2013-2015, where she conducted hearings against teachers and other employees of the Department of Education accused of violating the Chancellor’s Regulations and/or New York State criminal statutes. From 2015-2016, she worked as an ADA in the Westchester County DA’s Office, and, later, worked as an Agency Attorney for the New York City Department of Correction.

Michele Molfetta began her career as an Assistant District Attorney in the Richmond County DA’s Office in September 2005, working in the Criminal Court Bureau. In 2007, Molfetta was transferred to the Office of the Special Narcotics Prosecutor in Manhattan, where she prosecuted hundreds of felony narcotics and weapons cases and conducted numerous felony narcotics trials. During her time with the Office of the Special Narcotics Prosecutor in Manhattan, Molfetta worked with various local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies, including various units of the NYPD, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the New York Drug Enforcement Task Force, and the Strike Force, to conduct complex, multi-jurisdictional, including international, narcotics investigations. She returned to RCDA in 2010, working in the Investigations Bureau where she conducted numerous long-term major narcotics and gang related investigations, which resulted in the recovery of kilogram quantities of narcotics and the arrest and prosecution of over 100 defendants, most of whom were violent felony offenders. During her time as a prosecutor, Molfetta has tried numerous felony cases ranging from complex wiretap investigations to homicides. In early 2016, Molfetta worked as the Deputy Bureau Chief in the Criminal Court Bureau. Later in 2016, Molfetta was promoted to Deputy Bureau Chief of RCDA’s Narcotics-Investigations Bureau, and was responsible for managing the day-to-day operations of the Narcotics-Investigations Bureau, which includes the supervision of all narcotics and gang related prosecutions and investigations, as well as overseeing all drug related diversion programs such as Staten Island Treatment Court and HOPE. She earned her law degree from the New England School of Law in Boston in May 2005. She currently resides on Staten Island. Wanda DeOliveira graduated from St. John’s University, Staten Island Campus in 1989 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice. She went on to earn her law degree from St. John’s University School of Law, graduating in 1992. From there, she was admitted to practice and was hired by the Kings County District Attorney’s Office as an Assistant District Attorney where she worked from 1992 to 1997. In 1997, Ms. DeOliveira left the Brooklyn D.A.’s Office to start her own private law practice on Staten Island, which included civil claims as well as criminal defense work. While working full-time as a private attorney, she had her two daughters in less than a three-year span before returning to being a prosecutor in 2000, this time in the Richmond County District Attorney’s Office under the Honorable William Murphy. During her career at the Staten Island D.A.’s Office she has worked as the Deputy Bureau Chief in the Special Victims Bureau from 2005 to 2008 and then as the Deputy Bureau Chief in the Trials Bureau until 2010, when she was then named Chief Trial Counsel to continue her love of trial advocacy in mentoring the junior assistants with their trials. After the retirement of former Special Victims Bureau Chief Yolanda Rudich, in 2014, Ms. DeOliveira was asked to return to the Special Victims Bureau as the new Bureau Chief, a position she held until July 2017 when she was promoted to the Executive Bureau as Chief Trial Counsel. She has been in the courtroom, on trial, in over seventy five cases during the course of her career as a prosecutor, has tried over 15 homicide cases in Richmond County alone, and has investigated, assigned, and prosecuted hundreds of other murder cases. She was assigned to lead a team of investigators and was the sole prosecutor in the County assigned to review over 150 Cold Case Homicide cases dating back to the 1980s for new DNA evidence. Ms. DeOliveira has been a lead participant in the several of Staten Island’s most noteworthy cases and has personally taken several of them to trial, namely: the double murder /arson of Rocco Mercurio and his wife Linda Torrone on Ward Hill in 2001, sending defendant Mario Mannino to prison for 82 years to life; in 2002, she tried and convicted Elena Kiejlieches for murdering her husband in a mansion on Todt Hill; in 2003, Ms. DeOliveira was one of the four prosecutors

  • THE FEDERAL DEATH PENALTY AS a SAFETY VALVE Paul Mysliwiec
    THE FEDERAL DEATH PENALTY AS A SAFETY VALVE Paul Mysliwiec ABSTRACT Fifteen states do not have a death penalty, and yet the federal government can federally prosecute capital cases on historically state- prosecuted violent crimes. This note discusses several problems related to the way non-death penalty states interact with the federal government, and seeks to offer resolutions where possible. For instance, what keeps the federal government from encroaching on a state’s ability to choose not to have a death penalty? Can a state or defendant stop the federal government in court? What stops federal prosecutors from unilaterally taking over cases to seek a death sentence? Finally, do state legislatures feel like they can have it both ways, saving the political capital it might require to reinstate a death penalty, and instead having federal prosecutors take the most egregious cases? Is the federal death penalty really a safety valve for the most heinous offenders in states with no death penalty? This note comes to several conclusions. First, there is generally no judicial remedy when federal prosecutors choose to seek charges without discrimination or invidious motive. Second, it is not the intent of the Justice Department to substitute their judgment for the state’s by replacing state death penalties with the federal death penalty. Third, the changes Attorney General Ashcroft made to the Death Penalty Protocol lead reasonable observers to the conclusion that the Justice Department does substitute their judgment for the state’s, and those changes should be undone. Fourth, while state legislatures may view the federal death penalty as a safety valve, there is not much the Justice Department can, or should, do about it.

  • In the Initial Indictment, Four Co-Defendants, Michael Whitten
    Case 1:04-cr-01016-NGG Document 113 Filed 07/14/06 Page 1 of 54 PageID #: <pageID> UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK --------------------------------------------------X UNITED STATES, MEMORANDUM & ORDER 04-CR-1016 (NGG) v. RONELL WILSON, Defendant. --------------------------------------------------X GARAUFIS, District Judge. Defendant Ronell Wilson (“Defendant” or “Wilson”) is charged in a twenty-three count indictment with, inter alia, murdering undercover New York Police Department (“NYPD”) Detectives Rodney Andrews and James Nemorin on March 10, 2003.1 Specifically, in connection with his alleged membership in the street gang known as the “Stapleton Crew,” the criminal enterprise alleged in the Indictment, Wilson is charged with the following: engaging in and conspiring to engage in a pattern of racketeering activity; committing obstruction of justice murder, murder in aid of racketeering, carjacking; use of a firearm and causing death through the use of a firearm; robbery and robbery conspiracy; narcotics distribution and narcotics conspiracy; use of a firearm in connection with narcotics trafficking; conspiring to murder rival gang 1 In the initial Indictment, four co-defendants, Michael Whitten, Paris Bullock, Angel Rodriguez, and Jamal Brown, were indicted with Wilson in a thirty-count indictment. These four co-defendants have since pleaded guilty to racketeering and narcotics-related charges and are awaiting sentencing before this court. On June 9, 2006, the Government filed a Superseding Indictment (S-1) in this case, which removes Wilson’s four co-defendants from the Indictment. (See Docket Entry No. 109). As the Superseding Indictment was filed after briefing on these motions, so as not to confuse the subject matter contained in the parties’ submissions, citations to the Indictment in this M&O are to the original thirty-count Indictment, and not to the Superseding Indictment, unless specifically noted as a citation to S-1.

  • Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York
    Office of the Inspector General U.S. Department of Justice Management of the Special Programs Unit at the Federal Bureau of Prisons Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York Evaluation and Inspections Division 15-08 September 2015 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Introduction Ronell Wilson was convicted in 2006 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York of capital murder for killing two undercover New York City police detectives. In 2007, Judge Nicholas Garaufis sentenced Wilson to death. On February 18, 2011, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit affirmed Wilson’s conviction but vacated the death sentence and remanded the case for a new penalty phase trial. On July 24, 2013, a federal jury again unanimously returned a death penalty recommendation and, on September 10, 2013, Judge Garaufis reinstated the death sentence. While at the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York (MDC Brooklyn) awaiting the new penalty phase trial and resentencing, Wilson had a months-long sexual relationship with then Correctional Officer Nancy Gonzalez that resulted in the birth of their child. Gonzalez’s conduct was investigated by the Investigations Division of the Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General (OIG), and she was prosecuted for and convicted of Sexual Intercourse with a Ward. During Wilson’s resentencing hearing in 2013, an inmate housed in the same unit as Wilson testified that he and another inmate had submitted a handwritten complaint to MDC Brooklyn’s head of security, reporting Gonzalez’s sexual relationship with Wilson. Testimony alleged that, following the inmates’ complaint, Wilson held an inquisition in the housing unit to determine who had reported him.
