An Alternate Timeline
|
 |
Joe Paulus and the DCI investigators worked hard building a timeline to
support their
theory that John Maloney had a window of opportunity in which he could
have killed
Sandy and set fire to her house. But there is another timeline
running in the
background. It is a simple and deeply
disturbing timeline that no judge or jury has reviewed.
It supports a reasonable and legitimate
inference that the special prosecutor, Tracy’s attorney and John’s
attorney
conspired to frame John Maloney for Sandy’s death, for payments of
money by Paulus.
- May 2, 1998:
Tracy retains Steve Kohn to represent her
regarding Sandy’s death.
- May 8, 1998: At
Tracy’s insistence and on her lawyer’s recommendation, John phones
Gerald Boyle
and retains Boyle to represent him regarding Sandy’s death.
- May 16, 1998:
John, along with Tracy, meets in person with his
lawyer and pays a
retainer. Tracy’s behavior is
bizarre. Boyle says Tracy is the one
person John can trust.
- June 2, 1998:
Paulus and Kohn have sketched out a “use
immunity” agreement in exchange
for Tracy’s “cooperation”; Paulus gives S/A Skorlinski a list of
Tracy’s
records to be turned over by the IRS.
- October 1, 2001: Gerald Boyle admits under oath that
during the time he represented John, he was "desperate for money."
- September 11, 2002: Paulus loses his bid for
re-election as DA after tapes are released in which he bragged of
having sex with women in his office during office hours.
- December 29, 2002: Paulus and Boyle announce
the formation of their new, joint law practice, Boyle, Boyle &
Paulus, after Paulus is unable to find other employment. Without
being asked about it, Boyle tells the press that any assertion he and
Paulus were "in cahoots" in the Maloney case "is bordering on slander."
- April 26, 2004: Paulus pleads guilty in federal
court to taking $48,050 in bribes to fix cases between 1998 and 2000 --
precisely the time period when he was prosecuting John Maloney.
Despite
the influx of so much cash, Paulus' life style did not change during
that time. What did he do with the money? Did it go into
one hand and out the other, to Boyle, to take a dive on Maloney's
case? Does that explain Boyle's otherwise inexplicably abysmal
performance?
