![]() ![]() Glasser spent more than 13 years in the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office before going to Putnam shortly after Tendy took office in January 2016. He did not respond to a follow up question about the demotion or the tension between the two during the trial. ![]() In a text Sunday responding to a reporter's phone call, he said Glasser was "uniquely and eminently qualified" for his new job, said he had served in Putnam with distinction and wished him well. Tendy is running unopposed for a third term this year. That was because his case had included a statement investigators took implicating him in the crime which he long contended – and jurors this year agreed – was a false confession. Krivak had never gotten a second trial after his 1997 conviction. Glasser was the prosecutor in DiPippo’s third trial after his previous two convictions were overturned. They cited the acquittal of Krivak’s co-defendant Anthony DiPippo in 2016, credibility issues for the Putnam sheriff’s investigators and the main witness and evidence that a convicted sex offender was Josette’s actual killer. ![]() Both were cited by the judge at times for failure to turn over evidence to the defense.Īnd both were excoriated by Krivak's lawyers for not dropping the case after Krivak’s original conviction was overturned four years ago. Tendy and Glasser could be seen at odds with each other at the prosecution table throughout the Krivak retrial early this year, with Tendy at one point threatening Glasser’s job if he didn’t make a particular motion to the judge. ![]()
