Connie Tomlinson writing here to comment on the appalling injustice served against Vinnie Corrozza, an Autistic young man who was doing just fine in the community when living with his family. Vinnie held a job at Lowes, received Employee of the Month Recognition, cut lawns for people in his community, was made an Honorable Member of his local Fire Dept. and ALWAYS had a smile to share. You must educate yourselves and do better. Autism runs prevalent in our society and the spectrum of this population typically does not communicate as clearly as you or I, but they are HUMAN BEINGS and deserve better. Encapsulating this young man at Sunmount, a HORRIBLE FACILITY, so far from his family, Vinnie's situation can only be exacerbated and cause further breaking down. PLEASE, take a look at this young man, his family's strong unit, and how much Vinnie had accomplished in his life despite so many travesties. Please find the compassion within you to do the right thing and release Vinnie to his family. And finally, do take some time to understand how Autistic people tick. A bit of knowledge, understanding, and empathy will serve you, as DA of your community well. Thank you for your time.

A great injustice has been done to a young man on the autistic spectrum. He was wrongfully arrested for events that occurred as a result of his disability and mostly because the facility in which he lived was negligent and did not adhere to their responsibility of having a 1-1 aid for Vinnie Carozza. This is a young man with special needs and this never should have happened. It is actually shocking that things went this far. Do the right thing and send Vinnie home, he has a loving family that will care for him. In this day and age, one would think people would have some basic understanding of autism spectrum disorders. Unreal.

Disgusting... I wish I can give -5 stars. They do not care about people with disabilities such as autism, they just throw them in jail like they're nothing. However, my buddy Vinny Carozza was jailed and he is not a danger to anyone. He needs to be with family and/or some type of appropriate care facility, not in jail with a bunch of lowlife inmates that actually comment crimes. They should be finding ways to help someone like Vinny rather then just jailing him. This makes me sick...

The DAs office apparently lacks the awareness to deal with autism in the community. Vinnie Carroza is an autistic man with special needs who has been locked up unfairly and much to his detriment. Mr. Grady has a prime opportunity to show people his compassion by helping Vinnie and his family find a way out of the current situation. He is not a danger to the community. Vinnie is a kind and loving person who needs help and supervision. For anyone reading this review that does not know his story, google either "Vinnie Carozza" or "Justice for Vinnie" and read about him. Mr. Grady - please help this man.

This office should be ashamed with themselves for indicting a young man with autism of this crime as a tax payer in this county and over 50 family member in dutchess you will.never get another vote from us and we will be spreading the word about everything especially in the 3 businesses we own about how there is no justice in this court and how terrible and crooked the DA is you are not welcomed in any of our places of business.

This DIstrict Attorney blantany refuses to prosecute inmates in state correctional facilities because he does not want to change the county’s crime statistics. He allows hardworking Correction Officers and civilian staff to become victims of often brutal assaults by saying to the asailents “there is no penalty for violence in Dutchess county.”

Appealing what you are doing to that man with autism. You people do not know anything about compassion or special needs.

Disgusting treatment of an Adult with Autism. Take a sensitivity class you dullards, he was living in a group home which is not a good living situation provided by your county... You all should not be able to sleep at night.
