DA silent on murder video data By Ted Remsnyder Columbia-Greene Media
Carrie Weiser
CATSKILL — The case of accused murderer Carrie Weiser resumed in Greene County Court this week with questions still to be answered centering on video surveillance footage from the apartment of Catskill murder victim Scott Myers. State investigators have been attempting to crack the code for five months on encrypted security footage from cameras installed in Myers’ apartment. The footage could
shed light on Myers’ stabbing death last Nov. 27. Greene County District Attorney Joseph Stanzione said Wednesday that progress has been made on the footage, but declined to elaborate further. “We do have some electronic data, but I’m not at liberty to discuss it at this time,” Stanzione said. Weiser attorney Michael Howard did not immediately return calls for comment. A lawyers’ conference in the Weiser case was held Monday in the courtroom of Greene County Court Judge Terry J.
Wilhelm with the prosecution sharing discovery materials with the defense. No further conferences or hearing dates in the case have been scheduled at this time. “The defense lawyer requires additional time to review discovery materials with his client,” Stanzione said. The time frame of a trial could become clear when the next hearing is held in the case, Stanzione said. Weiser, 32, was indicted by a grand jury Dec. 2 on a felony second-degree murder charge in the stabbing death
of Myers, 68, last November. Weiser was also charged with a misdemeanor count of criminal possession of a weapon. On the night of Myers’ death, he dined with his accused killer at the Bridge Street restaurant Subversive. Police believe the pair left the restaurant and headed to Myers’ apartment, where Weiser allegedly stabbed Myers in the left side of his neck, severing his carotid artery. Authorities believe Myers then bled to death in a short amount of time. Weiser made a 911 call at
approximately 12:15 a.m. on Nov. 27 to report to the authorities that Myers had been stabbed. Weiser was still inside Myers’ apartment when police arrived at the scene of the crime. Weiser told police that she did not recall the chain of events that led to Myers’ stabbing, Stanzione said. Weiser was arraigned in Greene County Court on Dec. 17 and pleaded not guilty to all charges against her. She was denied bail and was ordered held in the Ulster County Jail in Kingston.

Holocaust remembrance puts Ukraine in spotlight By Noah Eckstein Columbia-Greene Media
Holocaust Remembrance Day, known in Israel as Yom HaShoah, concluded on Thursday evening. The day of remembrance is intended to commemorate and memorialize the murder of 6 million Jews and 5 million non-Jews during the Holocaust. Jews in both Columbia and Greene counties honored the day by attending services at Temple Israel of Catskill and Congregation Anshe Emeth in Hudson. “It is important that we remember the Holocaust so it won’t be repeated,” said Rabbi Daniel Fried of Congregation Anshe Emeth. Fried remembered his mother in-law, who survived the
Auschwitz concentration camp. She bore a tattoo marking, used as an identifier for the registered prisoners, on her arm. The statement, “never again,” has been uttered by generations of Jews for more than 70 years. For some, more skeptical and shocked by the horrors of the Holocaust, they uttered a different statement: “If it happened once, it could happen again.” According to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, the definition of genocide is “an internationally recognized crime where acts are committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group.” Genocide Watch, a nonprofit organization that exists to See HOLOCAUST A2
