One of the unanswered questions that remain after Assemblyman Bill
Nojay's suicide on Friday: What is contained in the sealed federal
complaint against him?
It's believed Nojay was to appear in federal court Friday, where a
complaint would be unsealed allegedly charging him with fraud.
Nojay was not only a state assemblyman running for re-election when
he killed himself Friday morning near his family's burial
plot at Riverside Cemetery, he was also an attorney,
businessman and volunteer with non-profit
organizations. Since that complaint is sealed, the public may
never know what the charges are that were pending against Nojay.
Defense attorney Jon Getz, who handles many cases in federal court,
says it will be unsealed if others are implicated.
"Since it was sealed, the government certainly will not unseal
it. The question is whether or not a party, whether it be the media or
some entity or a person who thinks they may have interest in this, in
making a motion to unseal it. And it's a very specific motion that
needs to be made, so it's a good question. An average citizen, I
think, would have a lot more trouble getting it unsealed," Getz said.
