Dear Members of the Judiciary Committee:

This letter is delivered in opposition to the re-confirmation to Judge Stephen Frazzini to the position as a Superior Court Judge.

As you are aware, I was present at the judiciary committee hearing on Friday, January 23 2015 and provided oral and written testimony in opposition to Judge Taggart Adams, who was alleged in my oral testimony to have committed perjury in his sworn testimony provided to the judiciary committee.

Similarly, Judge Frazzini delivered knowingly false testimony to the judiciary committee on Friday, January 23, 2015.

As captured in the sworn testimony and the CT-N demand recorded video of Judge Frazzini’s testimony, there were two instances in which Judge Frazzini indicated he was not a member of the Connecticut Chapter of the AFCC.

The attached list of the 129 members of the AFCC was for the year 2014.

Judge Frazzini’s name is clearly listed in the attached documents as number 43.

Judge Frazzini’s testimony that he wasn’t sure that the Connecticut Chapter of the AFCC had ever “gotten off the ground” was also a false statement made by Judge Frazzini.

In order to become a member of the local chapter of the AFCC an additional fee of $20 is paid.

Therefore, the statement of Judge Frazzini that he was a member of the “national organization” only was a blatantly false statement.

There is also an issue of disclosure of what constitutes a “business relationship” if Judge Frazzini was to have assigned a fellow AFCC Chapter member an assignment as a GAL or AMC as to whether that establishes a business relationship.

While Judge Frazzini was not a member of the Board of Directors of the AFCC, when the April 19, 2013 Committee on Judicial Ethics issued advisory opinions 2013-14, 2013-15 and 2013-16 and 2013-31.

However, Judge Frazzini referenced his “mentor” was Judge Lynda Munro, in his testimony to the judiciary committee.

The “less than truthful” testimony of Judge Frazzini about his membership in the Connecticut Chapter of the AFCC was designed to mislead the committee members in regards to their deliberations.

The judiciary committee cannot have a “tolerance” of any kind for the delivery of sworn testimony in a judiciary committee process which constitutes “material false” or “misleading testimony”.

Inasmuch as all members of judiciary committee did not have the attached document (only Representative Gonzalez and Representative Dan Fox appeared to have reviewed the list) in their possession on the date of January 23 2015, it is appropriate to ask that this letter to be posted on the judiciary’s website with the list of Connecticut Chapter of the AFCC.

Based upon the review of these documents, any member of the judiciary committee or member of the General Assembly can consider this document and its attachments before votes are cast in the House or Senate on confirmation.

For the foregoing reasons, I would ask that the members of the judiciary committee recall Judge Frazzini for further sworn testimony to explain his “disingenuous” remarks to the judiciary committee and why members of judiciary committee should not consider these remarks as grounds for “criminal prosecution for probable cause for perjury” to be reported to the Office of Chief State Attorney for prosecution for having made knowingly false statements under oath.

Cordially,
