The Hartford Courant gives us the latest details on the case of the Fox61 staff member who was arrested on suspicion of DUI twice in one evening last year. You may remember this case from last April because the person identified in the car with Elsa Veisor was Courant publisher Richard Graziano.
A woman who was charged with driving under the influence twice in one night was granted admission to an alcohol education program for one of the charges and pleaded not guilty to the other in Superior Court today.
Elsa C. Veisor, 30, of South Windsor, an employee of Fox61, was granted accelerated rehabilitation — a special form of probation — on a charge of driving under suspension. That charge and one of the drunken-driving charges will be dismissed if she completes the programs successfully. A person cannot apply twice to the alcohol education program.
Veisor was arrested April 18 in Farmington for allegedly driving drunk. A short time after she was released, police spotted her driving along Route 4 and charged her again with drunken driving.
She was scheduled to appear in court on Feb. 18 on the second charge of drunken driving.
Still want to know the REAL story here…
Early on, the Courant’s story had three reader comments, including at least one mentioning the publisher’s presence. The last time I looked, those comments had disappeared. Perhaps someone at the Courant can fill us in on how that came to be.
It is thoroughly amazing that any reference to Mr. Graziano has **vanished** from the story. It is now simply a DUI case.
It is so much simpler now that the Courant and Fox61 are under the same roof. So much easier to sanitize the facts.
I notice they don’t allow any provision to comment on the article. Wonder why?
Actually Curious Too, it would have been a lot easier for the Courant to simply ignore the case and not follow up. But then that would have denied you folks the opportunity to be snotty, wouldn’t it?
If anyone had any real information about what happened, information they’d stand behind, it would have come out. Seems all we have is talk. And talk, as the cliche goes, is cheap.
Sorry Fred, but that is not exactly the case. What we DO have is a lot of facts, almost all reported here and in the Courant.
Coupled with the other stories about events at Fox61 they speak for themselves.
What are those facts, Curious? Lay them on out, then.
Facts, that is, that go beyond what’s been reported. There’s a suggestion of more facts, that there’s some sort of cover up. Putting something on your website and in your paper is a funny way to cover things up.
Oh, there are indeed facts. But facts that have not been allowed to be presented because the other person involved in this case is in charge of two media outlets.
It okay to praise the importance of journalism except when the story is about “you.”
Worse. Two media outlets in the same city which they get to do only because the FCC continues to grant waivers to Tribune. Think of the possibilities if the FCC told Tribune to divest itself of either the Courant or Fox61.
OK. Now we know that Curious Too is Chris Powell. Too funny.
Seeking Truth. What facts haven’t been out there?
I see lots of hyperventilating, but no offer of proof.
What facts exist beyond what’s already been in the Courant and in the warrant posted here on the Laurel?
What facts are the Courant/Tribune/Fox juggernaut with holding that haven’t already been published in some form?
Answer the question, Seeking Truth. The world waits.
What facts do you speak of?
What’s the difference? The Courant and Fox61 are absolute wastes of carbon molecules and RF anyway.
What’s wrong curious, cat got your tongue?
Typical internet twerp. All talk. No cojones.
You too Felix.
