2ND SUICIDE SHOCK STATE POLICE LAB MAN FEARED PROBE By BRENDAN SCOTT, Post Correspondent

May 24, 2008 -- ALBANY - A veteran State Police forensic scientist hanged himself yesterday under circumstances shockingly similar to the suicide of another state police official just eight days ago

Garry Veeder, 59, left a note in his Albany suburb home saying he was concerned about becoming a target of an internal probe regarding the handling of a high-profile case, the Albany Times Union reported.

But sources said Veeder, who recently put in his retirement papers, was not implicated in the investigation by Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, who is probing suspected political espionage by a rogue group of State Police officials.

Veeder's death comes eight days after Gary Berwick, a retired State Police inspector, was found by his daughter, hanged in his garage in the Albany area.

Veeder was found by his wife, also in his garage, at about 7:30 a.m. yesterday.

"She came out and screamed," a neighbor in Voorheesville said.

Sources said Veeder apparently overreacted - with tragic results - to a recently concluded report on a kind of forensic-science cheating called "dry-labbing."

The report looked into whether he did research on a State Police case but guessed at the results.

Spitzers boys are hanging themselves. Oh well, it’s cheaper than a trial.

Meanwhile Patterson decides he better go to the hospital to have his glaucoma checked.

Somebody is sending a message.

It’s far worse than Arkansas. It’s had more time to corrupt itself. Secret grand juries. Political payoffs. Racketeering. Entrenched power and deal making. The list goes on.

Spitzer spent his own money on the hookers. Because he is a gentleman and that’s what gentlemen do.

“By this I mean that Vince Foster was NOT murdered. He was a psychologically tortured semi-decent individual who committed suicide over the guilt at being associated with the evil and crimes committed by the democrat party.”

Yeah, and after he didn’t murder himself he flew into Ft. Marcy Park and shot himself without leaving any powder residue. :)

Make someone write a suicide note at gunpoint, grab them in a headlock, snap the neck, hang em up and call it a suicide. Simple enough.
