Attorney alleges 'coverup' with murder detective's mishandled evidence
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 июл 2023
- When Detective Jennifer DiPonzio went on medical leave in June 2021, her supervisor and fellow detectives discovered that she left a mess. Mishandled evidence. Missing reports, and they learned DiPonzio didn’t properly impound or document more than 50 audio-recorded interviews. But for more than a year, police officials kept information about those evidentiary problems in-house and secret from defense attorneys and the court in dozens of murder cases, according to internal records and recordings obtained by ABC15.

Everyone that has any involvement with her mishandling and misconduct should be held accountable as well.
That will probably get a weeks paid vacation
@@kevina3136and promoted
Should be but won’t be 😢
Don't count on it.....
She's already collecting her disability and being protected by her hubby and the system...Serve and protect...themselves 😢😢😢
PLEASE TELL ME HOW PHOENIX POLICE DEPARTMENT STILL HAS POLICING AUTHORITY? THIS DEPARTMENT IS SO DAMN CORRUPT. THIS DEPARTMENT NEEDS TO BE GUTTED AND RESTRUCTURED.
I no longer recognize these incompetent/corrupt assholes as legitimate authority figures.
Corrupt is what that department is.
It not only ppd it other places too
Your caps lock is STUCK!
@@yooper2186 nah I meant to shout that.
Diponzio is complete trash she needs to be charged and dealt with accordingly. The mishandling of evidence should be a mandatory 15-year sentence regardless of disability
nah. 16 years.
Nah..Firing Squad. Make a example out of her...otherwise with qualified immunity...it will only going to get worst for the pesky citizens.
@@deadave100 Que Scooby Doo music "And I would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for that pesky dog"
Can you imagine being the parent of a child and because of this ladies in confidence and downright negligence or just flat out refused to do her job, that person or persons just walks free?
There’s another discovery that she’s been working at a Salon after telling the Court (more than a year prior) that she’s “too ill to testify in Court or do anything”
NEXT TIME start with the fact that her husband is 2nd in command of the phx police department. Start with that that reporting.
So interesting to me how the “family” of AZ blue “elite” have such difficultly gauging competency and loyalty…so much so, that hiring practices and policy actually support keeping up appearance of an honest, ethical culture over an actualized one in its expectation, practice and uphold of integrity and transparency. Pity.
Lol. That's all we need to know about her to be honest😂.
Covering up
Her supervisor should be fired and put in prision
Right along with her .
She's a chiefs wife. She was 100% untouchable while working for PPD.
PPD INNER POLICE ARE PROTECTING HER WITH THE BACKING OF THE ARIZONA POWER BROKERS. Ask the Mecham and Bolles families about them. MRT acquitted for a PPD created murder case to punish me for my past transgressions reporting and demanding the PPD INNER POLICE BE DISBANNED. Washington D.C. response was to give the PPD INNER POLICE full military operation powers and equipment to operate on any street in Arizona they choose and or against anyone they have MARKED. Visit August 20, 2020. On a Mesa street near the 202 called University. To arrest an innocent 72 year old man for the alleged murder of his daughter without any credible evidence. Your tax dollars working to promote a HITLER TYPE GESTAPO at will. you could be next??? MRT ACQUITTED BY THREE GREAT AMERICANS WHO SAW THRU THE PPD PLAN TO "PUNISH ME" AS THEY WROTE
Sounds like she didn't deserve to be a detective. Didn't return victim families phone calls? The victim families should be her main motivation. No wonder DOJ is all over Phoenix PD.
Sounds like they all knew it too and kept shoving her from one department to another.
She deserves to be criminally charged along with all the other corrupts covering up her lack of professionalism...
Right? How is this NOT "Obstructing Justice", *at a minimum???*
Sad she mishandled child sex case paperwork. The people who need to be protected the most had their cases messed up because she simply didn’t care and thought her badge would cover her from all consequences. She needs to be held for this.
That's because officers like her like to protect child abusers.
Police do not care about these things. They only care about protecting their own, the job is secondary.
When some people pretend it “ About the Children “, they are often lying. I feel CPS has become the monster to the children in it.
it is not the job of police to protect anyone so what do they care if children are getting violated.
the job of a police officer is to write tickets, fill jails, fill private prisons, make money for the system and ensure they continue to have power and money while repressing we the people.
@@KingPossum I'm pretty sure I remember the phrase "Protect and Serve" being thrown around the place. Did I mishear that?
Phoenix PD is constantly in the news and it’s usually not because they did something good. It can’t be just a few bad apples. It’s a bad department.
The entire department is currently being investigated by the DOJ.
But who Investigates the DOJ?
@@mechanic6682 the DOJ isn’t breaking protocols. These dirty cops are.
@@mechanic6682the DOJ 😂😂
PPD has a very dangerously active INNER POLICE Don Bolles referred to as the "GESTAPO". They are protected by the Arizona Power People who make billions from the corruption on the Arizona/Mexico. This is why Arizona maintains the world wide reputation as the corridor for human trafficking and sex slave trade. This inner police operates all over the valley area in all police jurisdictions. M.C.S.O. elected official just take the money and look the other way. Arizona Attorney General's look the other way and as you just watched so does WASHINGTON D.C.. THE D.O.J protects them, never to discipline them. This is the 6th or 7th lengthy d.o.j. investigation and an untold number of chiefs yet never a change or exposure of the PPD INNER POLICE. MRT ACQUITTED OF A MURDER THE PPD CREATED TO PUNISH ME
Corrupt to the core
What a job! There are no expectations of even the slightest degree of competence. Everybody will do whatever they can to cover up your incompetence. If your incompetence does come to light you are not obligated to accept any responsibility. Heck, you will probably get promoted.
She medically retired.
thank the unions and immunity. protect the blue line at ALL costs, even to the detriment of the citizens.
@@thomasgirty6397 man have you got that right I'd have somrep0 8th 8th 8 8th
Keep up the great work Dave!
We as the citizens have failed by giving these servants to much power and thus turned them into criminals. But we cannot take all the blame, these criminals choose their paths and continue to lie and cover up!
Don’t let up 15! 👍🏼👍🏼
Read Miranda. We never failed, but when punished for being outspoken since the PPD took and destroyed critical evidence after Don Bolles was assassinated, never stopped trying, We were stopped by our own government all the way to Washington D.C., who actually gave PPD swat military equipment to use on a full military operation on a Mesa public street to arrest a 72 year old outspoken and behind the scene citizen reporter of bad PPD cops. All but few were exonerated, when a part of the "INNER PPD POLICE" BOLLES CALLED THEM THE "GESTAPO" performing the same job as in 1936 Germany. Punish anyone interfering with the Arizona criminal factions that make billions from the Mexican/ Arizona border corruption. If your wishing for any Arizona news media to get any results in exposing this INNER POLICE, only in your dreams. I've been her since 1948, served in military and law enforcement, and know for a fact, part of this inner police has always been the PPD SWAT teams. One head of this faction was appointed to head man of our D.P.S., after his team planted evidence and he testified against the first governor ever impeached in American history, a great man named EV MECHAM. MRT. ACQUITED OF A MURDER THE PPD CREATED AND I DID NOT DO
Of course another coverup and they won't talk because it puts all of them in prision with her
So many cases up under her she mishandled and they are trying to cover up her screw ups.Everybody involved in trying to cover up her mistakes need to be prosecuted.Many more cops like her doing the same thing.Keep up the great work Dave! Exposed the corruption!
ZERO SUPERVISORY OVERSIGHT AND NO FOLLOW-THRU BY ADAs. Don't these people keep an eye on the case procedure???? why the surprise when the case is due for court???
"No, there was no cover ups at all. We already investigated ourselves and found nothing wrong. Now Respect us!"
@@adriangeh6414POLICE: We have never done anything even remotely questionable nor will we ever do so in the future, so kneel down and lick our shoes to a brilliant sheen. smh
@@todddanforth8853 It’s imperative that we respond by saying “NEVER!!!”
RIGHT ON THE MONEY!! HOWEVER, IF YOUR RELATIVELY NEW TO ARIZONA, PPD HAS AN INNER POLICE BOLLES CALLED THE "GESTAPO" WHO PUNISHED APPOSING THE "SPECIAL PEOPLE IN ARIZONA" WHO PAID PPD FOR THEIR SERVICES TO PUNISH THESDE PEOPLE WHO MIGHT INTERFERE WITH THE CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES ON THE MEXICAN BORDER, ESPECIALLY THE HUMAN TRAFFICKING AND SEX SLAVE TRADE. HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF SICK, SICK, SICK CRIME PROTECTED BY CAMPAIGN FINANCE MONEY ALL THE WAY TO WASHINGTON D.C.. CHALLENGE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK. MRT ONE OF THOUSANDS OF PPD VICTIMS.
I love the reporting that Dave does, he’s like the reporters of olden days.
Except nothing ever happens because of it. Why bother?
I actually fear for him. He exposes dangerous people that usually go unchecked.
@@EQuietstorm Sad but true. Who ever thought that finding the truth and even doing the right can cost your freedom and your life?
NO, HE'S NOT. DAVE LIVES WITHIN THE perimeters of the Arizona shot callers. He does petty things. There exists a tractor trailer of examples and or evidence of PPD INNER POLICE abuse under the shield of law, citizens entrusted them with. THEIR IS NO CRUELER TYRANNY THAN THAT WHICH IS PERPETRADED UNDER THE SHIELD OF LAW, PROCLAIMING IN THE NAME OF JUSTICE. The valley area has produced many good people trying to do something about the PPD INNER POLICE only to meet them in person and have their lives ruined and or taken. Maricopa county remains one of their best protectors. A county too big and corrupt to be divided. Miranda sums up the PPD operating manual of the PPD INNER POLICE. Beware what and who you speak to about this. Only way to get rid of the PPD INNER POLICE, would be to have the other police departments assume their duties then systematically weed out this INNER POLICE, then indict the power criminals paying for their "GESTAPO" 1936 TACTICS TO PUNISH ANYONE MARKED. MRT ACQUITTED AFTER THREE YEARS IN A DUNGEON, PUNISHMENT FOR YEARS OF SPEAKING OUT.
How is this not a crime? Yet she goes out on medical. How? Why?
It absolutely is a crime, just don't ever expect an Arizona DA (this also applies to 99.2% of all DAs in the country, it's just that Arizona is apparently at 99.999999%) to actually hold a criminal cop accountable.
Don't trust cops. Always record your interactions.
Keep after 'em, Dave. You and Jody Barr in North Carolina are the last few real investigative journalists we have left.
But they all still cashed a paycheck. Paid to do what?
I hope she gets prison and not protective coustody
She was crooked she will be celebrated she isn't a chomo
Typical corrupt Phoenix police.
I hope all people locked away due to her incompetence get a new trial.
I'd like to know what terrible injury that she suffered to prevent her from working.
She was full of crap
I wish I had a dollar for every cop that "retires" with a disability claim!!!!!
Wait. Isn't the Phoenix PD under a federal consent decree? Is the DOJ sleeping on the job? Why did abc15 break the story and not the DOJ announcing federal charges? 🤔
Same things happening in New Orleans & Oakland.
No excuse for this incompetence.
They tried to hide it and let it go on for years 😢😢😢 Who are the real criminals
Phoenix is out of control with its law enforcement!
Great reporting Guys 👍
We love to hear the facts not fiction..
The thing is all of these officers from top up learned and have been teaching this to all the officers enforced for decades. This seems likely that other departments conduct themselves is the same exact manner.
There are countless internal investigations where they say they found no wrong doing and it’s a sick cycle of criminal behavior and zero accountability.
If you end qualified immunity these problems will go away and bad cops will be behind bars.
She and anyone involved with covering up what she did and did not do should be prosecuted and imprisoned..
the question is, how many murder cases were directly impacted because her gross negligence.
This sounds a lot like the lab Tech scandal in Massachusetts in 2011-12, where they had to throw out around 30,000 cases. The cover up by state officials were unbelievable, and of course, none of them ever went to jail. I believe the netflix show about it was called How to fix a drug scandal.
Nepotism at it's finest.
Sounds like the whole department needs to be Brady listed.
one of our blundering police department
Thank you Dave ❤
Not involved but I bet he knew all about it . If the supervisor knows nothing about it what hope is there??? Corruption at its finest .
Dave Biscobing is a bulldog. You know he’s a thorn in the side of PDs for actually wanting cops to do their jobs correctly.
I'm waiting to find out who she was having an affair with
Victim families Pray For answers and results an this is what Phoenix PD gives you.
LoL @ “their poster-child detective”.
Being as the Phoenix Police Department is at this time under Federal investigation for crap like this by the Department of Justice for almost 2 years now, why wasn't that picked up before?
shows how bad they really are.
Look at how corrupt the system is.
The woman is a disgrace to competent police LEO’s all over the US. Incompetence is NOT gender specific, but considering how hard women LEO’s have had to prove themselves, she truly is a disgrace!
This case obviously was handled by someone not remotely responsible or qualified to do the job. This so called detective not once but multiple times failed miserably at her task to perform at any level of the lack of skills.
Keep up the good work . This is what local journalists should be doing , holding officials accountable
She had one hell of a ''supervisor''! WOW! Fire them all!
Now the people need to come together and question the department and city how are they supposed to fund them if they act either with incompetence or malicious intent. And withhold their funding until they can prove they can act with competence and integrity.
Retired with a disability . . . she is getting a check every month
Sadly this is not limited to Arizona. I'm a man who follows police misconduct and this I can assure you is a nation wide epidemic!!
Put her in prison for obstructing justice, tampering with evidence in a murder case,and interfering in a police investigation.
Incompetent and/or corrupt. It's in there somewhere
These people are baffled when there is "Real work to do!" Confused! When it's accountability
Thank you ABC 15. You give us hope. It's a turning point in society when the biggest crime organization is the police department.
The police department is not even close to being the biggest crime institution. I’m not trying to be nasty or anything, but that is absurd. The police department is trying to cover this up because I don’t want murderers being set free on a technicality. Doesn’t make it right, but that’s what they’re doing. That’s like not telling your wife that that dress makes her look overweight, and then someone accuse you of being a felon or the biggest liar in the world. It’s extreme hyperbole.
How many people are in jail or prison for NOTHING! Or not in jail and but should be. HE just admitted he knew her history without saying the words. Awful people get away with murder. Both the woman and her supervisor should be charged and anyone in between.
Remember folks drink water 💦
Out of all the gaslighting. This is the best gaslighting I've ever seen. Lol
Dave is doing the Lord's work.
Sounds like internal affairs is the ones that need to be put in jail for dereliction of duty falsifying police records, something
When your married to the chief you don’t have to answer to anyone….
Wow only in America where cops have qualified immunity
so according to the departments statement. they will do as little as possible and only when they are forced to?
If only they were as good at handling evidence as they are at lying and beating people. So she kept screwing up and they promoted her to homicide.
only with a police union can you be this inept or criminal to this degree and keep your job. surprised they didn't promote her.
5:00 “Officials are trying to block defense attorneys from conducting more interviews” It would be helpful to name officials.
Corruption period!
that’s because they have a Secret COURT Cases everywhere. often they have the the attorneys in the practice have the defendants sign a waiver as the chain of custody of evidence so that won’t be brought up so they can take exit 65 in case one and enter change it in case 2345, etc. etc. if they don’t have a chain of custody for the evidence, especially when they don’t call out the exhibits by name and she just got confused on all the fraud that’s going on in our legal system. I hope they do a complete audit on everyone because she just got mixed up on how all the evidence is being with supplied and other cases by joining during charges and defendants and if you’re not named, you’ll never know, but they have a list.
Start holding the mayor, governor, and legislature accountable!!!!
Typical trumptard... hold everybody but the individual.
I guess being cute and married to the assistant chief, is a lot easier than doing your job.
Dave deserves a Peabody &/or Pulitzer for his crusade against the horribly corrupt AZ LEOs. He seems to have a lifetime of job security there - given how wide-spread and recurrent LEO & Prosecutorial misconduct are in AZ. Keep it up, Dave!
So there’s an excellent chance that a LOT of homicide cases will be dismissed. They should all be fired.
Lock her up lock her up...
Abolish qualified immunity hold the Pignorant accountable
Corruption from the top to the bottom
This doesn't sound like it's by accident.
Wow
Did I hear that she was the wife of the Police Chief who was planning to retire? Did this guy arrange this so that they could both walk away with police pensions and benefits? Who or what is holding up proper required investigations?
Nepotism and union stonewalling at its finest.
I sincerely believe that there should be no such thing as internal affairs. Situations should be investigated by an outside source.
Comprised of professionals that are not police officers.
With internal affairs, there’s just too much opportunity to sweep things under the rug. And it does happen.
Well . . .a bunch of criminal cases have been irrevocably jeopardized. AND Maricopa County is a well known haven for criminals who wear badges . . .and infest the judicial system as well.
Dave is like a super hero ! He should join the Guardians of the Galaxy !
Every BEST cop from all departments need to be INVESTIGATED
Not surprised nor shocked! The is horrible!
Fire the state attorney and everyone who was in smelling distance of these cases. This does not happen in even a shoddy department.
3:31 got him
She couldn’t investigate her way out of a paper bag. 😂
Very important and meaningful work y'all are doing. Please keep fighting the good fight!!
How many criminals were set free and how many innocent people were jailed?
Great work again ABC15.
Just as I suspected, another speedy and thorough no wrong doing found investigation!
Damn, ABC 15 you guys and gals do really good work. Thanks from everyone.
Ignorance of the law is no excuse unless you're a cop then it's a defense to keep qualified immunity.
Our Fore Fathers are rolling in their graves....and We The People...Let it happen.
IMMUNITY IS NOT A LAW !!!! it's a Supreme Court case that somehow became blanket coverage for police, ADAs, judges, etc. Congress COULD fix this but won't. cant make the union mad or no lobbyist money!!!!
What a disgrace how do they get away with this corruption is ramped
Imagine how many we're wrongfully accused!! Corruption!!
She isn’t the only one
It's their MO, lock her up
WOW I had always thought that if your shoe size and IQ were the same number you too could become a police officer ...I guess I was wrong.
Okay but tell us something we don't know?
She's not doing any work collecting a nice paycheck
Pillow talk shields her from accountability.
Simple as that.
Sounds like she just ran away from her responsibilities and was allowed to do so by an overworked police department. Someone should have seen the red flags.
Chief Nicholas Brinker will not evaluate the proficiency of his officers even though his officer lost evidence. To defend myself in my case, and she will not answer my questions. The chief says his officers have no obligation to answer questions.
WTH.
Phoenix PD covering up their actions is par for the course. Does anyone actually think Phoenix or does a good job at anything?
