Four Arraigned In 2019 Election Case – ‘Don’t Contact Witnesses’

From CT Mirror:

Wanda Geter-Pataky, a central figure in multiple Bridgeport election controversies, was arraigned Monday on charges related to Mayor Joe Ganim’s 2019 campaign.

Three others facing similar charges — Bridgeport city councilman Alfredo Castillo and campaign workers Nilsa Heredia and Josephine Edmonds — were also arraigned in Superior Court in Bridgeport on Monday.

Geter-Pataky quietly left out a side door of the courthouse without commenting after a brief appearance. As a condition of her release, she was ordered not to have any contact with a witness in her case.

Castillo, Edmonds and Heredia also appeared before Judge William Holden. The cases were transferred to the judicial district court on Main Street, where more serious cases are heard. They are all set to appear July 10. All were ordered by the judge to not contact the witnesses against them.

While Geter-Pataky and her attorney, John R. Gulash, left without commenting, Bridgeport attorney Samantha Kretzmer, who represented Castillo, held a press conference and said her client is “looking forward to a trial” and called his arrest a “political ploy.”

  1. “A political ploy”!! That’s Bridgeport politics: one big political ploy.
    Just remember that it’s just “a thin case”, according to OIB and really ‘what’s the big deal’ right????? 😂 😂
    Cheers!
