Photo by crownheights.infoCrown Heights, NY - A jury acquitted five of six Orthodox Jews charged in a wild fracas - but found one guilty Wednesday of a simple misdemeanor.
All were facing as much as 15 years each on gang assault charges when their trial began five weeks ago.
The brouhaha erupted inside a yeshiva when students from two different sects began battling over a bed in the dorm room. The sects have had a long-running argument over who they believe is the true messiah.
Brooklyn jurors found one member of the local Shomrim guard group guilty of a single misdemeanor.
“It was all a big waste of time,” said Nechemia Slatter, one of the so-called “Shomrim six” acquitted in the Dec. 29, 2007 dustup.
“It’s the district attorney’s money,” said lawyer Joyce David, whose client, Chaim Hershkop, was also acquitted. “A lot of resources for nothing.”
Many of the charges, including felony gang assault, were dismissed by Justice Albert Tomei before jurors began deliberating. Jurors took five hours to find all but Godi Hershkop not guilty.
The case, which began when two groups in an Eastern Parkway yeshiva began fighting, revealed divides in the community over whether the late Rabbi Menachem Schneerson is the messiah.
It also put Shomrim, criticized by some as too aggressive, on trial. All six vowed to stay with the group.
Hershkop, 37, faces as much as a year in prison but defense lawyer Israel Fried, noting that his client will probably lose school bus driver job from the conviction, said he’ll probably not get any jail.
“Community service?” Fried asked, “He’s already doing community service: he’s Shomrim.”

this was a clear case of malicious prosecutions by the Brooklyn DA office. this case in it self should have never been tried given the evidence and credibility of the witnesses.alls. but their is a bigger conspiracy then just Paul huebner. the Brooklyn DA office maliciously went after the shomrim six. they made the jury belive things that never happened. i was there ant i was in shock when ADA David Weiss froze a part of the video and tried to show the jury how a shomrim member kicks a bochur in the balls. when in fact if you watch the whole picture on the video the leg that he wanted the jury to belive is actually the jacket of another shomrim member. this case will not rest until justice will be served. justice for the community, justice for shomrim. today's win is not only a win for shomrim it is a win for the whole crown heights community

Having been in the court I can say without a doubt the witnesses were liars. Thank G-d the jury didn't believe them, but I am shocked Gadi Hershkop was convicted. It doesn't make sense. Fortunately, we in CH know the truth & I am sure he won't be out of work. I would hire him if I could, he is a man of integrity. I pray the judge goes easy on him.

If you want to be a Police Officer why not just apply to the academy and become a real full fledged Law Enforcement Officer instead of a "Want To Be" Have the courage to step up apply for the job and go throiugh the academy like the rest of us did. That way you don't have to be make beleive and you can have real lights & sirens! Do you have what it takes? If you do then make the commitment, if not stop playing policeman.

And who are you to offer or even suggest that they should have taken a deal?
Innocent people fight for their rights. Guilty people run (to Israel).

Fella's, i wish this case was so simple, maybe these Giborim should start using their strength to beat up the real criminals roaming the streets of CH instead of starting or even mixing in to fights with fellow jews, maybe if they started minding their own business and not trying to mix into community politics, maybe then they wont have to be so busy in supreme court.
Also, if i may remind everyone, are these Shomrim "victims" not the same people who just not too long ago were viciously pursuing the DA to try to lock up a fellow yid who was actually trying to protect the community? was that Mesira forgotten, or was this court-case just Hashem's reminder to them that Hey -you aint getting away with that...

does this apply exclusively to shomrim or also volunteer ("want to be's") firefighters, emts, medics, auxiliary police, and other volunteer groups? mabey shomrim does want to play police without making their living by writing tickets and robbing peoples hard earned cash.

So the proposal you give is for Shomrim to end in in court again on your recomendation that they should beat up blacks? and the messira you accuse them of that comes from propaganda, not facts, where shmira beat up a black to protect the community? you are a confused YIDD-EL and need to get you priorities and facts straight. The only lesson learned is that people like you need to be defeated.

The DA case was straight out of the Shmira/mishichist hate and propaganda web site. Everything they said in their opening, middle and summation was all based on information/hate they were feed by the Mossrim.
The whole summation was one big corrector assassination on that one Shomrim volunteer (who happens to be the head of Shomrim). This whole case was based on getting him. Its a miracle that he only walked on with what he walk out with.
G-d willing when the transcripts are made available We will show you, side by side what the DA said was a direct reflection of the hate that comes out of the shmira propaganda machine. You will be the judge.
They did this to shomrim, they can do this to anyone.

The honorable judge Albert Tomei saw this case for the sham it was from day one, his honor berated the prosecutors off the record saying quote "What is this doing here? the jury will not give this case two seconds it will be a waste of time and money". Throughout the trial the honorable judge in many ways and straight out told the Ada's that they will never win the case but the Da would not quit fighting the missianist jihads war, as one of the lawyers who is not of the jewish faith stated during the course of the trial "these guys (the missianist) are a bunch are losers". The only corruption came from paul huebner, the detective he spoon fed the messira libel to, and the ada's that licked up the leftovers. To someone writing that a supreme court judge is corrupt because that person failed miserably in his vicious messira and hate campaign I say I am embarrased by the eternal saying that all Jews are brothers because surely you are not a Jewish brother and so shall you go in the way of the wicked.

Their job is to protect Jews from criminals; are they supposed to ignore a call for help just because the criminals who are beating someone up are Jewish?! That is all they did - they responded to a call for help, and defended the victim and themselves. The jury obviously felt that they had to give the DA something, so they convicted one person on the smallest charge they could find; that is not justice, that's bargaining, and an appeals court will surely throw it out.

The article is wrong when it says "The case, which began when two groups in an Eastern Parkway yeshiva began fighting, revealed divides in the community over whether the late Rabbi Menachem Schneerson is the messiah. " The fight was not between "two groups", and it had nothing at all to do with the Moshiach issue.
The simple fact, as everyone in Crown Heights knows, is that 749 has been stolen from the yeshivah by a criminal gang known as the Taliban, which runs the building with violence, and nobody can sleep there without their permission. The yeshivah's administration have no control over what goes on there, and are afraid even to set foot inside. Now the gang happen to be radical meshichisten, but that has nothing to do with the matter; they will not let a fellow meshichist sleep there either, without their permission. No American bochur can sleep there, even he wears their yellow badge and shouts "yechi" seven times before hamapil.
A bochur was being thrown out of his room, and he called Shomrim for help, as people in Crown Heights do when under attack. Shomrim came to help him, and when the Taliban turned on them they defended themselves. That is all.

To further what you saying, if you think about what went on here, the while N.Y. was banked against that one Shomrim member (ask the shmira, all they really wanted was him, as leib skoblo said "cut off the head and the body falls"), this whole case was all about him (thanks g-d the others stayed and stuck together). To walk away with even just this minor charge (which g-d willing will be dropped as well) is a miracle. Just look at what he went in with. Baroch Hashem.
this is all history (now. The question is, what we do now, who takes responsibility?

Not even Milhouse can spin his way out of this one.
Crown Heights is a complete mess, and this time, instead of the violence coming from outside the community, it's internecine. This is the state that the Rebbe left his flock in when he died/disappeared (delete as applicable).
If you want to take credit for what he achieved in his lifetime, you have to apportion blame for what he left behind. A despicable, ugly, rudderless mess.

Sorry. Millhouse is correct. The Taliban does not represent most of us here in crown heights or Lubavitch. I was born and raised here and I live here now. This .001% (maybe less) of Chabad Lubavitch does not represent what the Rebbe left behind. Contrary to your claim the "despicable, ugly, rudderless mess" is not the legacy our Rebbe left us with. If you want to see the Lubavitch that the Rebbe raised, go watch the Shluchim's convention -it was live online here on VIN just three weeks ago. You can get a copy of it too. These are the people that attended the Rebbe's farbrengens back in the day, went to him for dollars, and sought his advice when he was alive.These are his followers. The tiny fringe group of radicals are young guys who never met, saw, or spoke to the Rebbe.
On a side note, did you know that Ahavas Hashem, Ahavas Hatorah, and Ahavas Yisroel go hand-in-hand? If you don't have one, you don't have any! Oh, you didn't know? Okay, but I'm telling you now.

you said that you urge people not to rely on whats online for the facts. Well, I was unsure if I believed that Shomrim was completely innocent. If they were, how would there be a case in court? So, I chose to become an "informed" citizen, and I took the train to court one bright sunny morning. And, boy was I surprised. This case was total stupidity. They showed a video taken of the fight. The only ones being wild, aggressive, and violent were the bochurim who were now prosecuting the shomrim members. It was unreal. These mossrim put their own selves at stake, in order to hurt fellow Jews. They put themselves at risk because, clearly, they were the gang that was fighting- and now if Shomrim chooses they can use their video against them. ( I hope they do). This is worse than suing McDonalds for making you fat- it is total ludicrous. Shomrim come to a call to help, and they sue? I'm going to take my dentist to court because he hurt me- he pulled my tooth because I had an infection.

Thats right, those who truly wanted to know the truth-the facts- came to court (thats an experience you can never take away from them).
And boy did they see the truth and leis.
“B’midat Emet LeYaakov” (“according to the attribute of Truth unto Yaakov”)
ווען דער רבי וואלט ניט געשטעלט די דריי ווערטער "במדת אמת ליעקב" – באה"ק קטנטי – וואלט ער געאט נאך פופציג טויזענט חסידים, אבער דער רבי מאנט מדת אמת
Had the Rebbe not inserted the three words "b'midat emet leYaakov" ("according to the attribute of Truth unto Yaakov"), he would have attracted fifty thousand more Chassidim. But the Rebbe demands the trait of truth.
אילו היה הרבי משמיט את שלש התיבות "במדת אמת ליעקב" - באגה"ק "קטנתי" - היו לו עוד חמישים אלף חסידים הרבי תובע מידת אמת

I think it's safe to say that 'NOT GUILTY' is the best way to go.
They (Shomrim) know that they are 'NOT GUILTY' and they would not except anything less then a 'not guilty. It's their (our) right and they took it Thank goodness.
Even the one shomrim volunteer ended up in a better position then taking any deals.
Besides, I hear from Shomrim that they plan to fight even that minor charge.
Innocent is innocent, guilty people take deals and run with it. innocent people fight for whats right.
