Violent Robbery Victim Now Forced To Defend Herself In Hudson, NH
On November 23, 2004, Lucie Lacasse , was Christmas shopping with her infant daughter at the Blockbuster Video Plaza in Hudson, New Hampshire. Upon returning to her vehicle she was baited , robbed, and violently beaten by three individual’s known to her.
Hudson, NH (PRWEB) February 11, 2005 -- On a beautiful November afternoon
around 2:00 p.m. Lucie Lacasse returned to her vehicle from a day of shopping
and was placing her daughter in the car seat when she realized that she was
being watched by individual’s a couple of cars away. The driver (her ex’s wife)
gave a friendly wave and Lucie approached their vehicle to return the greeting.
The conversation quickly turned hostile with the perpetrator’s screaming
obscenities. Lucie , returned to the side of her vehicle and while trying to
call 911 the phone was knocked from her hands, she felt a fingernail digging
into her eyeball, she was spit on, kicked, and brutally beaten by two women and
a man while onlookers at the plaza watched. Lucie states,”I was screaming for
someone to help me.” When the three perpetrators realized they were being
watched they ran back to their vehicle taking Lucie’s purse with them. Realizing
that her purse was gone, Lucie ran to their vehicle reaching in to grab and lock
the steering wheel all the while screaming for them to, “give her back her
purse.” The driver of the vehicle then rolled up the window on her arms and
proceeded to lurch and drag her thru the parking lot. A mailman on his route
testified he saw her, “lurch the vehicle four times” and realizing that she was
trapped, “I put a stop to it before she was dragged underneath the vehicle and
seriously injured.” Hudson Police Officer’s, SGT Brianchi, and CPL McDonald
e-mail police @ hudsonpd.com arrived at the seen to find Lucie in a state of
shock and the robbers sitting in the vehicle laughing at her. Their only
investigation was to ask the robber’s what happened while laughing along with
them (Lucie urinated on herself when being dragged by the vehicle) according to
the police reports, the witness’s statements corroborated the victim’s story.
They left after issuing a ticket to both parties and ignored the several
felonies committed by the perpetrators to include: obstruction of 911 call,
mayhem, felony robbery, criminal threatening, and attempted murder. Never did
they ask Lucie if she needed medical attention or if her baby was alright. Upon
returning to the Police station for photos the following morning, Officer
Bianchi stated, “he did not realize how much hair had been torn from her head.”
A complaint with the NH Attorney General, Kelly Ayotte, (603) 271-3671
investinfo @ doj.state.nh.us about the conduct of both these Officer’s has been
ignored. The victim’s attorney Joseph Gall,(603) 881-5800 of Jordan, Maynard,
& Parodi P.L.L.C. in Nashua states, “I am very disappointed with the Hudson
Police Dept.” and “the Hudson prosecutor, Brenda Lapointe (603) 594-3250 is
aggressively pursuing a conviction because of the complaint filed with the
Attorney General.
Lucie is being criminally charged in Nashua District
Court, State v Lacasse (Docket No. 04-CR-12211,Trial-May 25,:1:00) with spitting
her gum at the Robber’s. Donations to Lucie’s mounting legal fees can be made
thru paypal. LucieLacasse @ aol.com.
