Judge Dally: Mezzacappa Harassed Borough Clerk

Last Spring, West Easton's very own common shrew, Tricia Mezzacappa, decided to harass a borough clerk. This included threatening and abusive behavior, like constant kicking and banging at the doors to Borough Hall after being told to wait for a police escort. Mezzacappa also cyber-bullied this low-level worker. She'd break down in tears when her children would see Mezzacappa's online taunts and vicious name-calling. Justice has finally been done, thanks to Judge Craig Dally. Let me fill you in on the details.

At a June hearing before Judge Richard Yetter, Mezzacappa brought Jim Gregory as her cheerleader. That was before he was sent to state prison. The Clerk (I won't name her) testified about Mezzacappa's fantasies of putting a hollow point bullet through my skull. She also described a bizarre gun video made by Mezzacappa, containing words like "You better outrun my gun" and ending with a coffin and a picture of the West Easton web page.

"We're afraid of her," she said.

D'you think?

What seemed to bother this Clerk most is that her own children could see the hateful and hurtful things Mezzacappa has posted about her. That made no difference to Mezzacappa. Sensitivity is not her strong suit. Many of the taunts are still on her blog.

"I just would like it to stop," she told Judge Yetter. "It's relentless. I don't want to come to work now."

Judge Yetter imposed a $200 fine and told Mezzacappa he did not want to see her again.

The Clerk found another job in a Mezzacappa-free municipality.

So everyone lived happily ever after, right?

Wrong. Mezzacappa appealed her conviction. She then sought several continuances for "medical reasons" while appearing on Jim Gregory's short-lived radio show for at least one of them.

But her luck ran out yesterday.

Despite bringing in a Philadelphia lawyer who couldn't even get her first name right, the truth prevailed. Mezzacappa was convicted again, following a hearing before Judge Craig Dally.

Dally imposed a $300 fine, $100 more than Judge Yetter and the maximum permitted by law. She's got 60 days to pay it. She still hasn't paid off her first harassment conviction.

"I'm very relieved," the Clerk told me after it was all over. "Justice has been served."

Why do her kids read Tricia's blog? Really??

Bernie O'Hare said...

Because other kids tell them about it. I have experienced this myself. Kids tend to point these things out to other kids, when they know one of them. That's how it starts. I would not believe it except that I have experienced it.

Bernie,

Secretly you fantasize about her don't you...... Come to me window Trica......

Too bad you werent in the courtroom to hear it. Judge could have rendered his opinion based on evidence.

But instead, he decided to potshot the second amendment and the first amendment.

"Considering all the mass shootings that I read about everyday, locking Mezzacappa out of Borough Hall seems reasonable."

Yeah, ok.

No prejudice to defendant on that one.

Anonymous said...

8:34 And Tricia's lawyer could have tried to defend her childish behavior, rather than whine that she's been banned from Borough Hall.
Oh, that's right, there is no defense for the way she treated the clerk. Guilty. And rightfully so.

Wait a sec, let me get this straight.

Judge correlates Mezzacappa as the next Adam Lanza in open court?

Unreal.

Anonymous said...

I'd say after three years of being verbally abused by Mezz, for simply doing her job, the Clerk should be commended for only losing her cool one time. Could you have done better?

No jail time? She threatens a public official over and over again and she gets a tiny fine, that she will never pay, and she walks? What is wrong with these judges? She needs to be in jail before someone gets hurt.

Ps when does her man slab get out?

Kevin Cerino said...

When a defendant brings in an attorney from out of town, there are usually one of two situations:

1. They have a lot of money and think that they are buying better representation than they would get from local talent.

2. They have such a horrible reputation that no local attorney would willingly represent them.

I will leave it to others to speculate which of the two applies here.

Restaurant owner tells waitress : Dont serve them what they asked for, dont bring them water, dont give them clean utensils

Waitress complies.

Customer is rightfully annoyed....waitress gets a good tongue lashing.

Waitress gets tired of her asshole boss and quits.

no one files harassment complaints and wastes the courts time.

Get a life O’Hare, no one cares

Bernie O'Hare said...

As the anonymous comments here indicate, Mezacappa has no remorse for her histrionics. She will eventually find herself in the can. i did not think she would make it through the Summer.

A very wise and accomplished local attorney once said:

“Drop 4 quarters into a vending machine, and make your selection. When nothing drops into the bin, give it a kick and see what happens. If nothing, then go to the shop owner, and get your dollar back. Its easy.

Drop those same 4 quarters into a vending machine owned by the government , have the same result, and getting your dollar back will cost 10,000 more and 5 years of annoyance.

Whatever happened to your suit against this woman?

And come someone tell me where the heck West Easton is?

Bernie O'Hare said...

10:34, aka Tricia Mezzacappa, You've been found guilty, twice, so I don't know why you are arguing the matter here. I guess that's what people with histrionic personality disorders do.

But lets bring your analogy closer to reality.

Customer is convicted in court after threatening to kill restaurant owner. Doors are locked and public must ring bell to get in.

Waitress is terrorized by customer on the phone. She comes to the restaurant and begins pounding at and kicking on the doors.

Customer taunts waitress, even to the point of posting vicious comments on line that are seen by the waitress' children, causing humiliation.

Customer taunts waitress in front of police.

Waitress is so upset by this behavior that she quits her job abd starts at another restaurant.

Customer continues online taunts, continues attacking restaurant owner and continues screaming and yelling whenever she is in the restaurant.

No one cares? It appears this waitress cared. So did the two judges who found you guilty.

Bernie O'Hare said...

"Whatever happened to your suit against this woman?"

I have a libel judgment against her, and am awaiting a court date to set damages.

Bernie O'Hare said...

"Secretly you fantasize about her don't you.."

Dally didnt like her choice in stillettos ...they had glitter on them.

you missed all the fun when she heaved one at him from the courtoom door.

I think she went straight to jail.

Bernie O'Hare said...

"Judge correlates Mezzacappa as the next Adam Lanza in open court?"

From what I hear he did nothing of the sort. It is a case of harassment. But I will remind you that it is Mezzacappa who penned a LTE that defended the mass murders of people attending a public meeting in Ross Township.

Not a nice person.

Steward, Crivello and Bachick were called to the scene as a special response team. EPD swat team on standby.

They took her screaming and kicking with one shoe straight to F block in NCP. No bail set as of yet.

She cant bother tiny West Easton no more

Bernie O'Hare said...

10:52, I stayed out of the courtroom bc I've seen enough of her histrionics. i can tell you that the last time she was in front of Judge Brenner, when he denied her a PFA against me, she did storm out of the courtroom, nearly knocking over a deputy in the process. She is unstable.

Bernie O'Hare said...

" She threatens a public official over and over again and she gets a tiny fine, that she will never pay,"

She was convicted of harassment, a summary offense. People do not go to jail for that unless the behavior is repeated. I believe Mezzacappa is headed in that direction.

Bernie, I see that Mezzacappa (3:49 AM) is disrespecting your lawyer again. She's worse than a shrew, and she will never change. Has your case for damages been put on an upcoming trial list? I hope so. Enough is enough!

I feel sorry for the clerk, who was just trying to do her job and the children who read the horrible things about their Mommy. How much can someone take?

@2:56AM Obviously you have no children. My kids are doing research for school on the internet. They have all searched their names as well as others. I doubt they're regular readers as you claim.

I believe after reading about all her shameful behavior, she'll get what's coming to her. Karma's a bigger bitch than she is.

Kathleen, You are correct. I found that out the hard way.

Anonymous said...

To summarize: Tricia "Stiletto" Mezzacappa was convicted and fined $200 by Judge Yetter. Jim "Unity PAC" Gregory was with her for moral support. Soon after, sidekick Gregory was sent to state prison by Judge Zito. Stiletto filed an appeal of her conviction and hired a criminal defense attorney from Philadelphia. On appeal, she was convicted and fined $300 by Judge Dally. Her arrogance cost her an extra $100, plus what I expect was a big Philly-style bill for legal services. During the process Earl, her pet pig, died. That's the definition of bad Karma. My guess is there will be more bad Karma in her future.

Why is Bernie O'Hare still obsessed with this woman? Great question and one many people know the answer to.

Bernie O'Hare said...

Considering Mezzacappa's wild behavior, death threats to elected officials and constant runs for public office, this is a matter of public interest.

Anonymous said...

@2:51 Why do you call this an "obsession"? Look at the body of Bernie's work, and you will see he wastes minimal time on this person who created her own "public limelight" and I use that term very loosely. She's a catastrophe, quite simply - a train wreck in the making. The travails of someone who threatens and harasses local officials is of public interest, IMO.

*If* Bernie was obsessed, he would have gone and watched this court proceeding in person - that is obsessed behavior. I don't believe you made a case for proving he is obsessed.

When Is Jimmy G getting out of the looney wing of state prison? His term must be up soon. Maybe he will have JohnBrown appoint him to Prison Advisory Board. I can't wait for his return, and Im sure Brownie is looking forward to it too. Brown/Gregory is already looking at a run for guv/lt guv in 2018.

Bernie O'Hare said...

Gregory is at the state facility in Pittsburgh. His current attorney is trying to get his sentence reduced. If that fails, Gregory should be out sometime this Summer. I don't think he'll be released much sooner, but have not looked at what his current attorney filed.

youre going to be the next one sued. your blog is full of lies, and catch this one....

never charged with threatening anyone because no threats were ever made.

this lie has been proliferated malicously on this blog and the newspapers. the statute of limitations is now one year from today.

West Easton Borough is run by uncivilized tryrants who have never been prosecuted for their own crimes. Karma goes both ways. So bud out.

not a public figure, either. your hatred and mental instability is getting WORSE...get help.



Thank you.

Bernie O'Hare said...

Tricia Mezzacappa, you ere convicted of harassment following a hearing in which two witnesses stated under oath that you threatened to kill the west Easton Boro council Prez. You are a violent person, and there is an abundance of evidence to demonstrate that fact. You are also a liar, and the proof of that is the libel judgment I have against you. You've now been convicted in court again for your abusive behavior. Now you are trying to bully me with your libel threats. By now you should know you can't intimidate me. You've had me on front of a judge seven separate times, and have lost every time. You lost the two criminal matters brought against you. The person you call your "significant other" is in state prison, largely bc he listened to you. As someone observed, you are a train wreck. And I am far from done with you. I have every intention of getting a damages award based on your outrageous behavior. I also intend to collect every dime.

I believe the courts are fed up with your histrionics, too. You waste their time with petty nonsense that you mostly manufacture in your own mind . You also seem to blame everyone for your troubles but yourself.

And yes, four runs for office make you a public figure.

Molon Labe said...

Fact is you have been braying about a judgement against Mezzacappa for sometime and the supposed damages that were to follow in January. Well we are about to be in Feb and still no damages to speak off, things are just heating up in West Easton between the Gross family cartel and I.U driver/possible former student Matt Dees there are lots of blowhards for TM to reign in.

Your not even on her radar anymore now that Stoffa is out you are more insignificant than ever, persona non grata everywhere except Million Dollar Highway.

filing a late answer and winding up in default does not convict someone of being a liar.

You have no damages because you are a liar.

DISMISSED and STRICKEN from the docket system is what you got

Bernie O'Hare said...

As I noted, you blame everyone but yourself. You are a violent person who threatened to kill the W Easton Boro Council prez. You bullied a borough clerk. You fantasized about putting a hollow point bullet through my skull. You have been found liable in my libel complaint against you, and hence are a liar as a matter of law. Your "significant other" is in state prison for listening to you. Damages will be assessed at the convenience of my attorney, not you. What a miserable person you must be.

Disgusted Spouse said...

Bernie, it is unreal that you claim to not write viscous blog entries so as not to hurt children. You care nothing about the children of the people that you post lies about and ridiculous pictures along with childish name calling. Some of those people have children who are old enough to surf the internet...including mine. Luckily, they are smart, reasonable children who can understand you are a worthless excuse for a human being whose behavior drove your own children away, and because they were raised right, they feel sorry for you, as do I.

Now she has decided to whine to the court that her fine is too harsh. She has requested community service instead. Courts said NO. The best thing they could do to serve the community? Throw her ass in jail for a while. What comes around, goes around Mezz. Perfect!

Bernie O'Hare said...

When she wastes the courts' time with frivolous lawsuits that she has filed and then spends more for a Philly lawyer, she can pay off her fine. Maybe she should think a little more about her foul mouth, foul behavior and the way she impersonates people on the Internet. She is starting up again with Dees, who nearly won his case against her. He will not hesitate to file against her, nor will I. She will then be in a real world of hurt bc I think the courts will send her to jail next time she lets her mouth or her blogging get her charged.
