| Subject: Barbaric statist: NYPD detective forces murder confession, but state Supreme Court sets aside Joseph Barbato's conviction and puts an end to police use of third-degree beatings Sun Feb 03, 2013 7:52 pm | |
| Sgt. John Cordes extracts confession from Barbato in the murder of Julia Musso. But with no evidence, Barbato was set free and Musso's 1929 murder never solved
Four words scribbled on a notecard after hours of rugged police persuasion earned Joseph Barbato a bunk in the Sing Sing death house.
“I kill Julia Musso.”
The “kill” occurred in the wee hours of Sept. 15, 1929, in a tenement on Cambreleng Ave. in the Belmont section of the Bronx.
