ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — According to a deposition included in recent court paperwork, Monroe County District Attorney made it clear that she believes she was lied to during the course of the investigation into then-Greece Police Chief Drew Forsythe's DWAI crash back in the fall of 2021. Background Oct. 21, 2021, Forsythe wrecked a town-owned Tahoe. According to Doorley in new testimony submitted early this month, it happened after a night of drinking. Doorley: I believe based on the video from the Hyatt (where investigators said Forsythe was directly before the crash) that there was alcohol involved. And it was my intent to charge him with leaving the scene of a property damage accident and DWI. Forsythe later pleaded guilty to DWAI. But when the investigation first began, Forsythe told a different story - that he had swerved to avoid hitting a deer. The night of the crash, the responding officers never conducted any sort of sobriety test and Forsythe was not checked for drunk driving. In recent testimony, Doorley said this wasn't normal. Attorney: Was there an alcohol influence report done in this case? Doorley: No.Attorney: Does that surprise you?Doorley: Frankly, yes, based upon my observations of what Chief Forsythe drank over a period of time. She further claimed the officers that night appeared more interested in helping Forsythe out. Attorney: In terms of safety, do you think that their concern included concealing the fact that he was, you know, committing a crime?Doorley: Absolutely. I mean, they were trying to protect one of their own. I hate to say it. You know, that's exactly what they were doing. Casey Voekl's involvement Doorley said she didn't even find out about the crash until Casey Voekl, deputy chief in Greece at the time, called her two days later suggesting her office investigate. Voekl later filed a lawsuit against the Town of Greece, Greece Police Department, Supervisor Bill Reilich and Deputy Supervisor Michelle Marini after Forsythe resigned, claiming he was demoted to patrolman because he had reached out to Doorley. As part of that lawsuit, Voekl's attorney filed Doorley's deposition in which she was asked about the case. While she said she doesn't have any evidence Greece Town Supervisor Bill Reilich engaged in a cover-up, Doorley does question Michelle Marini's honesty. Doorley: She knew early on. And that was not reflected in the testimony—or the statement that she provided to the District Attorney's Office. Attorney: Would that mean that she had been dishonest in the statement that she provided tothe District Attorney's Office?Doorley: That's correct. Marini was Deputy Supervisor when this happened but no longer holds that post and is now fighting corruption charges. Town of Greece official pleads not guilty to corruption charges Voekl's attorney included Doorley's testimony in an effort to prove widespread misconduct on the part of the town. Marini's alleged contact with Forsythe Part of the reason Doorley became suspicious of Marini, was because of a conversation allegedly had between Marini and Forsythe around the time of the crash. Attorney: A 10/22/2021, 8:40 p.m. message, which I think we've decided is technically 4:40 p.m. Eastern time. Doorley: Correct.Attorney: And what does that -- what does that message from Michelle Marini state?Doorley: It says "Okay. Just checking to be sure. I Hope they know how much time they wasted for us today."Attorney: So that was 4:40 on 10/22. That would have been the day after the accident; is that accurate?Doorley: That's correct. So that would have been Friday.Attorney: Do you know what she's referencing in this text message?Doorley: I can't be certain.Attorney: Would it be with respect to the accident?Doorley: That seems to be the whole litany of text messages between her and Drew Forsythe over the 21st and the 22nd and forward. Doorley also said Forsythe told her early on when he discussed his wishes to resign, Marini allegedly told him not to. When asked if she knew why, Doorley said no. Doorley's request for an independent investigation & Bryan Root's lawsuit Doorley requested an independent investigation, right around the time media got ahold of pictures taken of Forsythe's vehicle. She also emphasized the importance of having someone outside of the Town of Greece looking into the case. Bryan Root, another officer suing the town over the matter, said he was unfairly targeted, claiming he was passed over for promotion 11 times because he was the one who took the pictures of Forsythe’s wrecked car the day after the crash and gave them to someone else, who then gave them to the media. When Marini heard of these photos, she allegedly wanted "to know who our (the town's) enemies are," referring to the person responsible for taking and leaking those photos. The (Bryan Root) lawsuit claimed the Town of Greece attempted to cover up Forsythe’s crash, “presumably to lessen any impact it could have on its Town Supervisor’s re-election bid.” It also claimed attorney Karlee Bolaños, representing the town, threatened Root with arrest for “meddling with public election laws.” Greece Town Supervisor Bill Reilich won his reelection campaign days after the crash. Doorley early on came out in a press conference, appointing Joe Morabito to lead the independent investigation, who appeared to have had some help from Mark Case. However, the attorney in recent litigation noted that their investigation ended up taking a turn. Attorney: Does it strike you as odd that Casey Voelkl and Bryan Root became the target, that those two would be the targets in light of the fact that they're now claiming that they were the two whistleblowers that brought the accident, one to you and one to the newspaper?Doorley: It's curious. Doorley: In my opinion, it looked like they were trying to deflect what really happened at the scene. Attorney: And that was -- and by deflection, does that make Casey Voelkl the scapegoat?Doorley: Yes. Supervisor Reilich's office did not return an after-hour request for comment.
