State police finally unlock security footage from Myers' apartment
Raymond Pignone is reporting for Columbia-Greene Media Greene County prosecutors have received a report on the state police analysis of videotapes recorded by cameras in the West Bridge Street apartment where a man was stabbed to death in November 2021, District Attorney Joseph Stanzione said December 12. The details found on the tapes by investigators will not be released by the DA's office anytime soon, however. “The report can’t be divulged before the time of the trial,” Stanzione said. “The reason is we don’t want to prejudice any jury pool one way or another.” Carrie Weiser, 32, of Catskill, was indicted by a grand jury a month after 68-year-old Scott Myers of 39 West Bridge Street in Catskill was stabbed to death. Weiser has been charged with second-degree murder, a felony, and one misdemeanor count of criminal possession of a weapon. Myers installed video cameras in his apartment and state police seized a hard drive containing recordings made inside the apartment. The content of the surveillance footage has been a long-time coming. State police worked for months to crack the password on the drive and unlock the potential evidence. The discovery process in the case is continuing, Stanzione said. “We’ll go over the discovery materials and another court hearing will be scheduled,” Stanzione said. “We’re probably going to discuss probable-cause issues and find out what will be permitted and what will not be permitted at trial.” Weiser pleaded not guilty to all charges at her arraignment on December 17, 2021, in Greene County Court. She was denied bail and ordered held pending trial. No trial date has been set. Read more at HudsonValley360 [dot] com.
