MR. FRONDUTO: Mr. Polimeno, you’re under

4

arrest for the unauthorized spread of private

5

documents to civilians outside of East Coast

6

Compton. You have the right to remain silent, and

7

anything you say can and will be held against you

8

in a court of law.

10

MR. POLIMENO: That motion was never passed
yet? / I did it before

11

MR. FRONDUTO: The motion passed

12

MR. POLIMENO: Yes before it was passed

13

MR. GRACE: “Retroactive punishment on above

14

statute is permissible” / I thought ahead young

15

buck

16
17

MR. POLIMENO: The motion was not passed 10
min. ago / When I did it

18

MR. FRONDUTO: He beat you to it my dude

19

MR. POLIMENO: Yes I confessed that 10 min

20

after the fact I sent it

21

MR. ROSSETTI: [Miranda Warning]

22

MR. POLIMENO: I sent it to her before the

23

motion was passed...I therefore legally did nothing

24

wrong.

MR. GRACE: “Retroactive punishment on above
statute is permissible”

3

MR. POLIMENO: If we go by the documents

4

MR. ROSSETTI: Ahh incorrect

5

MR. GRACE: Important clause

6

MR. POLIMENO: Then why are we allowed to send

7

memes we have used before?

8

MR. GRACE: Because clause (b) of 1010.1

9

MR. POLIMENO: Yes...but it has its

10

similarities / Would you rather have me lie? Or be

11

straight up with you. Honestly is important.

12

MR. GRACE: But 1010.1 explicitly makes prior

13

violations permissible, 1016 explicitly makes prior

14

violations non-permissible

15

MR. POLIMENO: I regret the decision, but I was

16

not aware that we would propose that. I now agree

17

to it. The motion wasn’t made.

18

MR. ROSSETTI: Retro / Active

19

MR. GRACE: I propose, off record, Mike be

20

cleared of his charges but the statute still

21

remains

22

24
25

MR. POLIMENO: I think I did nothing wrong. /
No one told me
MR. FRONDUTO: I agree that he should be
cleared of all charges, but note his misconduct

1

MR. ROSSETTI: Let’s be real here, if any of us

2

actually shared this to anyone not involved what we

3

are doing with our lives

4

MR. POLIMENO: Let’s be real here, you said you

5

were trying to be nice to me and then you just

6

questioned what I’m doing with my life? Hungry

7

Hungry

8

MR. ROSSETTI: I was not/ You told Erin and she

9

was involved / So I was not questioning your life

10

MR. POLIMENO: Well technically she’s not

11

involves if she was why would I be in trouble / But

12

ok I understand what you were trying to say

13
14

MR. ROSSETTI: She’s involved because she was
part of the reason

15

MR. POLIMENO: I think I did nothing wrong

16

because that was proposed after the fact, but I do

17

see the risk I took, and it will not happen again

18

MR. GRACE: I retract my plea bargain

19

MR. POLIMENO: How come cam?

20

MR. GRACE: Because the plea bargain was not

21
22

accepted in a timely manner
MR. FRONDUTO: Mr. Polimeno you do have the

23

right to a lawyer / When will we have the arrest

24

warrant on Mr. Polimeno?

5

 
 
1

MR. POLIMENO: Well I didn’t know I had to

2

accept I just thought you were proposing it to

3

others / I accept the plea deal

4

MR. GRACE: Ehhhh it’s been retracted

5

MR. FRONDUTO: In all fairness you refused to

6
7

comply with D.A. Grace’s modest requests
MR. POLIMENO: I didn’t refuse I didn’t know I

8

had the right to accept / “I propose, off record,

9

Mike be cleared of his charges but the statute

10
11
12
13
14
15

still remains” Proposing to others, not me
MR. GRACE: I proposed to the entire board /
Just as I do with all proposals / You didn’t vote
MR. FRONDUTO: But rather than vote yes, you
argued that there had been no wrongdoing.
MR. POLIMENO: I didn’t mean to argue against

16

it, I did not know I had to accept, and I lost

17

track of everything because I thought Kyle

18

personally attacked me. / I think I did nothing

19

wrong because that was proposed after the fact, but

20

I do see the risk I took and it will not happen

21

again. / If this was Frond I bet he would 100% be

22

“under trial”

23
24
25

MR. GRACE: There is no resolution that
guarantees equal protection :/
(Whereupon, at 10:08 p.m., it was submitted)
