Anyone Smell a Cover up??

Not 72 hours after channel 2 showed a story about the Lynn Dejac investigation and showed Buffalo Police Detective Dennis Delano going to Washington, independently and on his own dime to speak to Forensic experts:

There’s someone else who went to Washington, DC to find answers. Buffalo Cold Case Detective Dennis Delano. He’s the man who helped free Anthony Capozzi from prison 22 years after a wrongful conviction.

And now, Delano has the same feeling as he did in the Capozzi case. That the justice system has gotten it wrong, again.

Delano feels so strongly about it, he took a day off and spent his own money to go to Washington, DC.

His daughter calls Sandy Beach and says that her father has been suspended:

Dennis Delano’s daughter Wendy told WBEN’s Sandy Beach on “Beach and Company” Thursday afternoon the suspension happened Wednesday. She says her father is not allowed to speak on the matter, but was told to surrender his gun and badge. She added the DeJac file was also confiscated. Wendy Delano added no explanation was given.

Buffalo Common Councilmember Richard Fontana says “it’s suspicious” someone as well-respected as Delano would be suspended without an explanation. He’s calling for an executive session with the police commissioner to find out why Delano was suspended.

Buffalo Police Spokesman Mike DeGeorge issued a statement, “As is standard policy of the Buffalo Police Department, we do not comment on personnel issues. All personnel issues are internal matters.”

Wow.
