I made the ninth post on this thread last December and haven't kept up during the intervening time. Have you made any substantive breakthroughs in your post-mortem of the murder here in your public forum? At odd occasions Jim Van de Velde and his plight pass into my thoughts and I marvel at the horrific mystery behind them. I believe that you have demonstrated that there is a reasonable doubt about the accusations that have been made against Jim and guess that the New Haven police have singled him out to bring resolution to the case however falsely. If you still have contact with Jim, please give him my sympathies.

Re: 9/14/00 - Schwartzberg's allegations deserve no credence LETTERS Schwartzberg's allegations deserve no credence -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Published 9/14/00 To the Editor: Your article, "The Saga of Steven Schwartzberg," (YDN Sept. 8, 2000) could leave some of your readers with the impression that Mr. Schwartzberg's allegations might be worthy of consideration. They are not. Mr. Schwartzberg has given his views on the murder of Suzanne Jovin (who was my student in International Studies 490a at the time of her murder) to me periodically since January 1999 and I have taken notes on his assertions throughout this time. This record reveals that Mr. Schwartzberg progressively has altered his position, from first, in January 1999, believing that he himself was the primary suspect in the murder, to his present insinuations about Professor Gaddis. The record shows that Mr. Schwartzberg has added new charges as time has passed, such as the claim that he observed Professor Gaddis near Phelps Gate on the night of the murder; it was not until a year or more after the murder that Mr. Schwartzberg concocted this addition to his story. Mr. Schwartzberg's statements are not rational; they are delusional. As this tragedy unfolds, it is important not to give any credence to his delusional allegations about Professor Gaddis.
