Facts:

• Officers did not ask Mascarella to submit to a breath test.

• A sergeant notified the Suffolk County Police Benevolent Association that a detective wanted Mascarella tested. The PBA sent a delegate who removed Mascarella from the scene.

• When ordered by the department to catch up with Mascarella, a fellow officer lied to a supervisor saying he had administered the blood alcohol test and Mascarella had passed it. The officer later retracted his story.

• When an inspector ordered Mascarella to take the test three hours after the crash, Mascarella refused. The refusal should have prompted the issuance of a warrant to have Mascarella’s blood drawn. Instead, the inspector only issued a traffic ticket.

• Police did not notify the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office on the night of the crash. The omission prevented the DA from considering whether to seek a warrant to test Mascarella’s blood.

• Suffolk County DA Ray Tierney told Newsday that “because certain evidence was not collected by SCPD on the date of the incident, we were unable to make a determination as to whether or not a crime was committed.”

this is a full boat criminal conspiracy. all the individuals bolded should be named publicly, fired, indicted and jailed for federal felony obstruction with max penalties which would be like 5 years in the can, and then opened up for civil suits to help the family with medical bills, suffering, etc.
