Suffolk County, New York
Joined January 2022
I was honored to present at the National Prosecution Best Practices Conference on the cutting‑edge techniques that helped bring justice to the eight Gilgo Beach victims. 
Advanced forensics, inter-agency partnerships & the strength of the victim's families made this possible.

A Ronkonkoma man was, once again, charged w/ public lewdness, yet the charges are still non‑bail eligible under New York law. We will not stop talking about our commitment to ending policies that protect alleged repeat offenders instead of our community. tr.ee/A4unPt

An Islip Terrace man faces 10 years in prison after pleading guilty this week to second-degree arson after authorities said he’d set fire to a Suffolk County bar because he’d been asked to leave the premises by staff members. The Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office said Paul Lucia, 60, entered the plea to charges of setting fire to Riley Fibbers Pub and Grill on Nov. 20 in East Islip.

NGS is proven technology used worldwide to diagnose disease, identify remains and exonerate the wrongfully convicted including those who spent decades in prison for crimes they didn’t commit. It helped advance the Gilgo case. New York must authorize its use in forensic labs.

Advanced DNA analysis has helped solve cold cases, ID remains & exonerate the wrongfully convicted. Without it, Gilgo Beach victims’ families would still be waiting for justice. I was honored to testify before the NYS Legislature alongside Missy Cann & Dr. Bruce Budowle.
