I can’t tell you how distressed I was to hear of Charlies passing. I read it recently in the Skidmore directory and was totally shocked. He was a good friend of mine at College and I will miss him.

Charlie was a great guy. 45 is way to young to go. RIP Charlie…

I think the focus on this blog should be to remember a good & decent man.

y’all some sick mfs… lies, by definition, can’t hurt… only the truth hurts. If his pain came from this episode, that’s probably because the accusations are true, not false…

Slant at 4:08am, Sheila a little tough sleeping, maybe a few nightmares, hearing his voice, remembering Charlie’s smile, thinking of little Emily’s pain. Sleep well dear Shiela,,,,,,I doubt it.

Sheila while you were up because sleep has a hard time breaking through his voice in your head, did you look at your hands? While you were examining yourself in the mirror did you find yourself looking at your hands, maybe wondering if his blood can be seen by your naked eye? You know it’s there. You know that it was you trying to get Charlie to go to lunch to get his story, not the other way around. Do you wonder if there is anyone who can say it was you showing up in his courtroom and calling him, instead of the other way around? You know that proof of your lies is right around the corner, and you know how you changed your story about a key detail yet again, after your “Affidavit”
You know it, and you know that Charlie knows it. The love of a good man,grey old Ronnie, cant change it Sheila, and it wont stop your nightmares. It wont change that you are the cause of this loss, and the pain of those children. When you are alone, and its quiet, can you hear him saying why are you doing this? You know how you haunted his thoughts all those days leading up to his death, you know what you did, lest there be no doubt, the haunting just begins for you. May it rip you apart from the deepest recesses of your mind. And you know it will Sheila. It’s just the begining Sheila. Try and sleep well, I doubt it

BudYou more than anyone knows that it happened exactly the way Alu says it happened because the very next day she told your very best friend Ali, and it’s the same story she Ali told me 18 months ago. How about you balance the story Buddy and report that their were two independent witnesses to this discussion? Nah, that would be too balanced, right Buddy? Gardiner and Scheinberg’s lawyers may be able to lie to the press, but they sure aren’t lying to the people who hold their fate.

Sheila Alu should have a wonderful sleep tonight she knows when she looks in the mirror, and when she lies awake at night that her lies have caused the stress and pain suffered by Charlie and others. She should be haunted with those lies, while she holds old grey Ronnie in her arms, and thinks of her child, and then Charlie’s kids. In her own sick demented world she lives a lie, she knows it, and will only feel pain when she cant hide from her own thoughts about the truth Sleep well Shiela enjoy the nightmare

Charlie Kaplan was a wonderful judge who always had a smile for everyone in court. When he was a private attorney earlier he was the same warm, wonderful guy. I will miss his smiles, his greetings, his warmth. He was a good man who left us too soon.

Charlie had a great outlook on life
and had a heart of gold.
The thing about Charlie was that as your friend, he was there no matter what.
I will remember his laugh and sense of humor.
I’ll you on the other side.
