Re: USA v Arnold Bell
3:03cr230 (AHN)
Dear Judge Nevas.
l represented defiendant Arnold Bell as court appointed counsel (CJA) in his federal case
where he was charged with Possession of a Firearm By a Convicted Felon. The case concerned
the shooting of`New Haven Police Officer Fumiatti during a drug interdiction. The gun that was
allegedly used by my client left a bullet in the neck of`Of`ficer Funtiatti. however. it was never
recovered Hom Officer Fumiatti`s neck due to its location near his spinal cord. Consequently.
the bullet could not be tested against the gun that was recovered from the street near the shooting
incident. At trial. Mr. Bell denied his involvement in the shooting. but thejury convicted him
and he was sentenced to 45 years imprisonment.
Last week. Officer F untiatti passed away and the body was sent to the Medical
Examiners Of`ficer fbr an autopsy to determine whether the death was related to the shooting.
The Medical Examiner concluded that Officer Fumiatti died from natural causes. During the
autopsy. the bullet was removed from Officer Fumiatti so it is now available for further testing
and comparison to the weapon that was linked to the defendant. .
Based upon the foregoing. I am requesting that a new CJA voucher be issued so l can
submit a bill for my legal representation concerning this matter.
iSincere y E
I
