Grandy, Tremain

Affidavit - Continuedat around 2000 when he heard an argument on the level above him. He said that he walked up one level to see

what was going on. He saw Moscato and an unidentified male standing near Moscato's office door. The

unidentified man had his hand on Moscato's face and was pushing Moscato's head. Grandy claimed that Moscatowas trying to defend himself. He said that he thought the guys were fooling around so he left the parking garage.

Grandy stated that he retumed to the garage about ten minutes later and saw a police officer and asked him whatwas going on. Grandy claimed the officer said that there was an incident but didn't say much more. Grandyclaimed that he then went back to his apartrnent building and went to his friend Shaun Burns' apartment. He toldShaun that he had just seen Moscato "getting his ass kicked" and relayed the story to Burns. The next momingShaun came to Grandy's apartment and told him that Moscato was looking for him. Grandy went to see Moscatoat the parking garage, and at Moscato's request prepared the hand written statement that he initially tumed in toour dispatcher. At the conclusion of,his written statement, I had Grandy read the statement to himself. I then hadhim read the following out loud prior to signing the statement: "By affixing my signature to this statement, Iacknowledge that I have read

itand/or have had it read to me and it is true to the best of my knowledge and

belief'. I then had Grandy sign his statement.

5.) There were obvious inconsistencies between Moscato's version of events as dictated to PTL Bartone, and theversion of events that Grandy claimed to have seen. Knowing that the parking authority maintains a videosurryeillance system in the garage, a search and seizure warrant for the system was obtained and executed byDerby detectives on 10/15/10. A search of the video showed that Tremain Grandy entered the parking garage at2016 hours on 10/13. This is at least eight minutes after the alleged incident occurred. The incident, according toMoscato, allegedly occured on the basement level of a stairwell. Grandy never went anywhere near that stairwelwhile he was in the gange.It was obivous from reviewing the video that Grandy could not have seen anyaltercation between Moscato and Dorosh

6.) I contacted Grandy and asked him to come back to the police station for another interview and he agreed. On10/18/10 at approximately 2015 hours I agatnmet with Grandy in the detective bureau of the police station. Iadvised Grandy of his Miranda rights and had him sign a notice of rights form. I asked Grandy if he was willingto talk to me about the previous statement that he gave regarding the alleged assault and he agreed. I explained toGrandy that I had reviewed the video surveillance and it was clear to me that he could not and did not see anyfype of altercation between Moscato and Dorosh. I told him that the alleged incident didn't even occur in thelocation that he claimed to have seen it. Grandy initially stuck with his story, but after a few minutes ofquestioning he admitted that he had fabricated the story. Grandy agreed to give me a second statement to explainwhat actually occurred. In the second statment Grandy admitted that he lied in the first statement. He said that henever saw Moscato get assaulted. He said that he entered the parking garage on the night of the l3th to go to hiscar and retrieve something. He said that he overheard Moscato tatking to someone and telling them that he hadbeen assaulted. Grandy walked over to the booth attendant, Mark lzzo, and asked him if Leo was all right.lzzotold him that he didn't know what had happened and he didn't want to get involved. Grandy left the parkinggaftge and walked to the gas station to play his numbers. When he went back to his apartrnent building he saw
