Pressure builds after ABC15 investigation into Phoenix detective
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 ноя 2023
- A defense attorney has filed a new motion asking a Maricopa County Superior Court judge to re-examine whether a recently retired Phoenix homicide detective should be compelled to testify about her past cases and mistakes. The motion was filed in a first-degree murder case as a direct result of an ABC15 investigation, which exposed Det. Jennifer DiPonzio had been working multiple jobs while the court believes she was too unwell to participate in proceedings in any way.

She needs to be in jail. This is very disturbing.
along with her husband and the chief.
After this, NO ONE should be shocked by the thought that we operate under a two-tiered justice system. Always have, always will.
@@KGRICK1
Came to say same.
And the city (citizens) of Phoenix are paying how much for her attorneys???
@@ITX-EcoClass
Gospel Truth.
NO NO NO NO NO!!! Not MISTAKES, but CRIMES. She committed CRIMES. Hell yes! She needs to be arrested, fingerprinted, strip searched, convicted, and jailed for her CRIMES against other people. This is the worst kind of criminal. Running free after ruining lives of others. Disgusting and sick. Do not protect criminals!!!
It's all upside down but that badge excuses them not any wrongdoing.
It's not military for the people of the US.
It's a military against the US citisens
Citizens commit crimes. Sovereign citizens make mistakes and make em rarely too😂
You can't be jailed until you have been charged with a crime, found guilty, and then be sentenced.
@@golden.lights.twinkle2329cops shouldn't get those rights
@@golden.lights.twinkle2329 That is not true, at all.
She’s definitely being given protection, and the fact that the state and the city have made it clear they’re not gonna hold her accountable and they want this to go away, proves they know just how much damage this will cause if anyone is held accountable.
Probably nothing would happen to them, but some innocent people might get out of prison. Pretty sick to knowingly keep innocent people in prison.
They can’t due to disability laws
She ain’t disable, they lying.
They don't want to get sued
This is ridiculous. Obviously, if this former homicide detective can work two jobs after taking a medical retirement from the police force, she can testify in court.
Looks like those 3 tried to keep the "executive" positions in house. Was she a police officer for a while? Sounds like she didn't know what she was doing. Playing inspector gadget with families. She can work multiple jobs and post on social media. She can testify and go to jail.
A lying incompetent cop, wow what a surprise.
Just taking care of a loyal democratic against ordinary citizens.
@@martingindulis5310try that again this time you use English
The real surprise is a TV station actually doing investigative journalism. I thought that was a remnant from a by-gone era.
Like water is wet.
Isn't that like 80% of them???
I have seen quadriplegics in court give testimony, I have seen people suffered from PTSD. Give testimony, there is nothing wrong with this woman that she can’t appear in a court room, sit in a chair and answer questions.
Children are taken to court to give testimony.
She got her tongue cut out and hasn’t learned sign language yet. 😂
she needs to testify in that "quart" room 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Don't you realize the one thing cops can't do is admit their mistakes and take accoutability? Her testimony will be all about what a screw-up she is, and she'll cost the prosecutors office convictions, and she and the city FULLY KNOW THAT.
@@adamflores5027She could probably also testify in a gallon room as well.
If she does not end up in prison then there is no reason to ever respect or trust the police at all.
I mean, is there now? Was there ever before? Isn’t this the same dump of a county that empowerd racist scumbag/criminal Arpaio as sheriff for years and years? Why would you expect anything out of maricopa?
No chance she'll ever serve a minute in jail, let alone prison. A cop in Tennessee r**ed a 14 year old girl last year. He was sentenced to 3 years of probation. If you trust the police, or the legal system I HIGHLY encourage you to do some research.
Pretty sure she's collecting a medical retirement check too. For those 8 grueling months of excellent work she did.
never have !!
The fact they hid it, is just a sign of how screwed we as civilians are..
Hell yes she needs to testify. If she can't; then all of her cases are thrown out due to violating rights and regulations.
No they won't.
Should be thrown out for due process violations. Prosecutors can’t prove their case without her testimony
@@christophercannata9672- Exactly, you can't keep someone in limbo forever b/c an officer can't testify. What medical issue could she possibly have that would preclude her from testifying, but yet still be able to work at 2 other jobs since retiring for the PD? It all smells of corruption and trying to hide her incompetence.
@ghammond3132 Well than maybe the government should prosecute her malfeasance on the job.
You guys are doing an incredible service for the public. The public needs to be aware of what is going on. Please keep reporting on this story. Many are going to go down in this scandal, as they should. Thank you and don’t stop.
Notice the departments are no longer saying "It's just one bad apple."
Nepotism and Cronyism. She needs to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law
" to unwell to testify"
It's truly amazing what these people say with a straight face.
IKR? How about a video conferencing? She could lie in bed and testify...if she really were ill.
The fix is in.
Try that as a criminal defendent
yes, consider the case of the young woman who was set on fire by her boyfriend then chose to be taken off all pain meds so she could testify against him before she died, .
Classic police statement. No accountability ever
Mishandling evidence takes sooo much arrogance and disregard for people’s rights! Yet she seems to have more rights than anyone else in AZ!
and it seems as if they really don't care if they put innocent people in jail
these people are nothing but evil
"Mishandling", is code for "manufacturing"...She filed doctored documents in discovery when the defense already had the originals...Most likely removed date/time stamps that establish his alibi @ the time of the death...
Sounds like the 2020 election in this county... hmmm
This detective doesn't have any mistakes to answer for. She has CRIMES to answer for. Also, shame on the city for trying to shield her instead of protecting the citizens like they're supposed to.
There is no incompetence, no "mishandling" of evidence, There is something being deliberately covered up by the highest authorities in the police department in Phoenix. Something that needs to be uncovered at any cost.
Wow, real investigative journalism... Good for Channel 15.
The only channel in Arizona with the balls to hold police and judges accountable.
Every case she was on needs to be looked into and people possibly released. The journalist who wouldn't let this case go is to be commended.
And every case by every officer that is covering up for her and every case by corrupt da
He needs get his arse out of Arizona. Can't spell corrupt without cop there.
What she did is obviously a crime if she tampered with evidence and any good defense attorney that has a client where she was pivotal in the conviction would at least get them a new trial with this evidence of her crimes and botched investigations
His life is probably in danger.
Oh, it will be a shite storm
Her and her husband need to be held accountable.
All those cases should be thrown out since she “can’t” testify! If it is thought that there are inconsistencies within one case she handled, all should be considered tainted! NYPD throws out tons of cases all the time when they find any officer has questionable evidence/case handling practices.
Straight up corruption, married to Asst Chief, retiring on a medical but you don't have to report the medical, just leaving murder cases in limbo, I wonder what the victim family says about this???
Dave Biscobing is one of the best investigative journalists there is.
Better than the city's investigators.
Check out Jody Barr in South Carolina. He's as good as Dave.
Dave biscobing and Jody Barr are my 2 favorite
I'm in Houston Texas and I follow his stories. He's not one of those comedian "gotcha" types of investigative reporters... This is all out mind numbing research on an FBI level!!!

Don't forget Rob Wolchek in Detroit! @@skrilla7664
Sounds like a lot of people should get in a lot of trouble for this
Well, considering only gov't has the ability to hold people legally accountable and it is gov't that is the one needing to be held accountable - don't hold your breath.
The Judge will hug her and apologize for asking her to testify
@@mjdamato We have to power and the ability to hold our government accountable. Just look at what our forefathers did in 1776.
What a complete DISGRACE to law enforcement. Not surprised considering the agency!
Wasn’t this the same agency that had cops make kids eat marijuana after being pulled over? Same agency which shot and killed a man in a hotel? I applied there in 2015, glad I never got hired. Military veteran in outstanding physical condition, clean background and Phoenix PD tried to claim I lied on the polygraph when asked “did you knowingly leave anything off the application.” Glad I never got hired.
Disgusting! We have a big swamp in Washington DC, and a bunch of little swamps in cities all over the country. They protect themselves from any responsibility, and don't give a damn about the people they are supposed to work for!! No transparency, no accountability. If a regular citizen did any of that stuff, they would stuff that person under the jail. What a bunch of crap.
The good ol boys look after their own.
Starting to feel really bad for the taxpayers in phoenix who have to sit back and watch money being wasted on garbage people.
Exactly!!!!
It’s every single freaking police department across the nation. Just need more Dave’s in each state. Why RUclips auditors are a thing sadly to always record police and government interactions. Insane she can’t “” talk about her work or lack their of.
Arizona is a hot bed of police and prosecutor misconduct.
Every department is a hotbed.
@@HWG-wm8ldsome jurisdictions legal systems collapse from with in along with outside pressure so every area isn't a hot bed nonetheless these pipes in Arizona will bust from the outside pressure
No pun intended right
Something about the Judge being so willing to accept the city and state’s word about the detective’s actions and inability to testify amounts to naïveté or worse. Issue a damn warrant for her arrest.
Here we go. Love to see proper journalism.
Excellent work guys.
Don’t let up!… we can not overstate the destruction done to entire families by corrupt police/courts in AZ
To all cops: As long as you fear integrity and accountability, you are NOT the good guys! Properly educate yourselves! End qualified immunity! Make each officer personally liable. You want your respect back? THEN EARN OUR TRUST BACK! It's BS like this that proves why NONE OF YOU DESERVE ANYTHING!
To be clear, this is a challenge to all, IF ANY, good cops to help change the whole corrupt system! PROVE YOURSELVES WORTHY OF THE BADGE AND STOP THE INSANITY!!!!
They are literal terrorists. Do you think they really care about your PSA?
Well said
Well said!
Louder for the bootlickers in the back!
I thought you couldn’t tamper with evidence. This is happening all over, for decades. All cases from them needs to be reopened .
I love how the defense attorney defended himself
Laws are for citizens. Law enforcement is exempt
Sickos!
thats wat cops think but no complete treu
Absolutely, the rules for thee but not for me happns every single day all accross the 50 USA states, dont ever doubt it
Exactly
Cops are criminals with badges
No. Just white ppl.
The judge needs to send her a subpoena, and if she does not show up, go arrest her ass and bring her to court, Or charge her with contempt of court, for ignoring a lawful subpoena
Mr Biscobing, you are desperately needed and wholeheartedly appreciated for your hard work on behalf of the citizens. Please keep up the good work. Thank you.
Because of her actions, every case she worked on is going to get the opportunity to be re tried, and there is a good chance some guilty people will get released, as well as innocent people. Police officers need to know that their misguided actions to gain a conviction can backfire, harming the whole criminal justice system.
The fact she was not forced or her doctors making the determination she was unfit to testify were not forced to come before a judge is inexcusable in my opinion.
Like the attorney said, it is a murder case and why she was able to skirt not testifying is downright scary in my opinion.
The noise you hear is all the enabling forces, police, district attorneys, even judge, scurrying for cover.
The worst thing is this happens more then most would ever believe. How deep dose the curroption go in the justice system. Its about time they all get exposed!
This is absurd and what's even more concerning, it's happening in virtually every city of the "first class".
Its crazy, when LEOs do something wrong, even illegal and they have to be taken off the street. So they get full pay while they sit at home, at times for being a criminal, too many criminals. Then when they are found guilty their city has to pay hundreds to millions of dollars to the victim. Then the paid leave time criminal LEO gets to go right back to work, even AFTER being found guilty of a crime. Some are repeat offenders , which is even worse.!!!
You are the man, Dave. We know that you will stay on the case until it’s conclusion and we thank you.
This how investigative reporting should be. Please keep us updated.
This is some of the best investigative journalism I've seen in a long long time. The nation as a whole needs more of it especially when it comes to government actions or inaction.
Kudos to these real journalists. Now these are the reports that should be taken seriously
People are so stupid when it comes to Social media. If you're on medical Retirement and refusing to to work becuase of "Medical Conditions", why would you be posting about your new jobs?
This is another example of why immunity needs to be done away with
Just wow. Every case she touched has to be reviewed if not dismissed. Her husband needs to be investigated, EVERYONE she knows has to be reviewed, this is madness!
Rhwy need to be shut down. This office is corrupt.
This just shows how badly she was supervised.
Her upper peers were too lazy to do their jobs which has now led to such malfeasance and lawsuits.
Of course the city's good citizens will be paying the price for this in that their hard earned taxes will be paying for MANY MANY lawsuits now erupting.
IF I were these good citizens I'd be down at the City Hall steps in FORCE and number wanting answers and to kick all the butts of all those that allowed this to happen.
Looks like there is NO accountability there in this city.
Something has seemed to be very wrong in PHX PD’s for a long time…..
Thanks to Direct D and others for shining a light on them.
Testifying in court is no more physically demanding than "Esthetician" work.. Disabled means DISABLED. She obviously could do light duty or another job as she is fairly young, she can learn another trade like a lot of us do mid-life.
Excellent reporting. She should never been a cop. What a travesty of justice.
Good work. Keep the pressure turned up. Government at all levels needs to be constantly reminded that they are accountable to all of us.
"She's too unwell"??
Are you kidding?
How convenient!
Then you gotta throw all those cases out, it looks like to me!
Keep the pressure on !
That is some great investigation, work, keep the pressure up and keep us all posted please
how anybody can think these government enforcers have any sort of trustworthiness honor or integrity as an organisation is beyond me
Too unwell? Is she dying? Is she in a hospital with a tube in her throat? Is she in a Psychiatric hospital?
If so, yes, all the cases she handled must be looked into.
Praise the news station for reporting this. This is what reporting is about. Getting the truth out regardless of who or what
Well done Dave. Watching from Virginia.
If it was a private citizen pulling these tricks their hiney would be in the hoosegow.
Hiney haha yep you're right.
The scariest thing about this is that she is not the only one
Corruption at its finest!
Either get her on the stand or dismiss all of the cases .
The officers/officials/attorneys claiming unwellness should be charged with "obstruction" at minimum.
This should be getting more attention… stuff like this should never go on for years.
Good job, ABC15, for your outstanding investigation and reporting!!!
This seems like a clear misuse of mental illness. And the ones that are paying are the victims off the crimes and the public. And this also shows plain and clear what they are willing to cover up. I get helping your fellow officers but this is what we can not allow. Trust is at 0 and bpw can we build when no one even cared about the lives this ladies inability to do her job or let someone know she could not preform her job. Prayers for all those involved.
Brilliant reporting! Thank you
Her mishandling if so, affected many lives. She has to confront the deeds.
Great reporting definitely looking forward for updates
Oh, what a tangled web we weave... (the plot thickens). Good reporting!
Where Corruption Starts, it Never Ends
How many other people would be exempt from testifying because of illness
Love the work keep it up!
Clearly, the reporter is hitting a nerve! And the truth! Sounds like the judge is in on it too!!
Anyone with a government paycheck is
The judges seem to be making rulings based on the evidence presented. Since the prosecution was presenting medical orders, they were ruling with the prosecution. With new evidence, the judges will probably rule for the defense.
@@jeffreypierson2064can't trust any of what they're calling evidence. Certainly not now.
Finally real investigative journalism. Great work.
I want to live a life where Dave doesn’t start looking into it, Dave’s a legend
Of course she's not in jail or in trouble....
Keep investigating and you'll find the States Attorney knew some of the lies and false arrests that have been going on way before this crook was on the job. And the public trust is way far gone on this department. Good job exposing and showing the world how policing in America has become soooooo corrupted. She should be arrested and charged with multiple felonies for this heinous criminal activity she has done. Lives destroyed because of her and the system.
And they wonder why the public will keep despising these public servants!
All that the reporter needed to say was"Maricopa County" yet didn't mention until the end.
Good reporting Mr Biscobing! The whole thing stinks to high heaven & the new Phx Chief seems as bad as the last one!
Pure corruption and further enrichment of a DISGRACED public employee.
The defense lawyers should be demanding their clients have their charges DISMISSED. Your entitled to a speedy trial. The State covering up corruption is NOT a reason for your trial date to keep being changed.
THEN all those defendants (most likely actually guilty), should sue the city for their time incarcerated.
The whole department is a pile of garbage, and that includes the prosecutors.
Every case she was ever involved in should immediately be under review.
Great Reporting!! Keep
It up ✊🏾
This is but one reason the feds are in Phoenix and have been for years. Her conduct after retirement displays ignorance and their perceived immunity from the law by allowing her photo to be taken and working in the public's eye. Allowing Brady Listed Frank Sloup to continue to work while awarding him a department sponsored RUclips page is a kick in the groin to the public. Phoenix and the surrounding area police and sheriff departments are nothing more than a cesspool. They're the first to cry when one of them goes out in a hearse and the public couldn't care less.
What did he do to get him on the Brady list?
@@mpettway6982 The details have been removed from the site. I can't remember all the details. If I remember one detail it was dishonesty. I found one site that has converted the text to a QR code so if you download the app, you'll be able to scan the QR code and read the details. Just remember, it's takes some pretty egregious conduct to get placed on the Brady List in Arizona.
Officers like her are some of the reasons why there is no real justice and waste the court's time and taxpayer's money.
The Phoenix PD Crime Syndicate Needs to be Stopped
I’m very impressed by ABC15 perusing this issue.
City manager looks like he is going to middle school with his backpack.
Hark, is that the sound of wagons being circled that I hear 😂
What I took from the statement the PD sent out, tells me she’s mentally compromised and likely couldn’t make a good witness in murder cases.
Every city in American NEEDS an investigation team this good. We all know this and worst is happening everywhere.
Imagine if one of us tried to pull her "too unwell to testify" bs. We'd be dragged out of our homes and thrown in jail for failure to appear.
Why is it that news reporters are far better investigators than cops?
Great work Dave/15!! Keep it up!
She is clearly incompatant and didn't have a clue what she was doing and now the victims of crimes are not going to get the justice they deserve. But this is what happens when you lay down with the higher ups and they give them the top jobs
The DOJ should be investigating this.
