Truly unfortunate, but what Mr. Hornoff fails to state in this letter is that the reason that he was convicted was because he (and his brother WPD chief of detectives) were both found to be discredited due to lying on the stand. It was their lies to the judge and jury, in an attempt to cover up his affair with the deceased, that caused doubt in the jurors minds as to his credibility and his innocence. As a police officer, he had a higher standard to be truthful than an average person. The lies not only cast a shadow on the fine Warwick Police Dept., but it also cost the taxpayers in excess of a million dollars for the prosecution. Had certain individuals in the WPD not engaged in a cover up, and if Mr. Hornoff was truthful, there would have been a different outcome.

I take exception in this case that he was awarded a pension as he was certainly guilty of perjury and did not comport himself to the high standards of a credible officer of the law.
