Timber-cutting con man given six months in jail, five years probation

By Howard B. Owens

It will be decades before the 13-acres of woodlands Lynn Belluscio and her late husband once enjoyed together return to their former "park-like" nature, but the man responsible for the removal of more than 100 of her trees will be out of jail in six months and off probation in five years.

David Henry Isabell, 43, of Liverpool, entered a guilty plea in January to scheme to defraud 1st and timber trespass. He was sentenced today in County Court.

The $36,000 Belluscio received in restitution is small compensation for what she lost, she told Judge Robert C. Noonan prior to Noonan handing down his sentence.

"I have only been able to walk in the woods once, and that was at the request of Deputy John Duyssen," Belluscio said. "What I saw that day made me sick to my stomach. If I ever have a chance to explain to my husband what happened, I would be at a total loss for words. ... I will not see the recovery of my woods in my lifetime."

Belluscio hired Isabell's company, Icon Timber Marketing, to cut down about 35 trees that were aging, diseased, or needed removal as a matter of good forest management. Workers took about 140 trees, left stumps and limbs on the property, big ruts in the ground and an area that once included a scenic horse trail is now unusable, covered by thorny vines and overgrowth, Belluscio said outside of court.

As part of the criminal complaint against Isabell, the DA's office alleged six land owners were defrauded out of more than $72,000 in hardwood timber by Isabell.

For the trees from Belluscio's land, Isabell received $60,000, according to bank records obtained during the investigation.

Attorney Robert Durr said his client's family stepped forward to pay the restitution, and Isabell said he's lost everything trying to repay his debts, which allegedly includes money owed to customers not part of the criminal complaint.

"Mr. Isabell is a terrible businessman," Durr said. "As a result of being a terrible businessman, he has placed himself in a situation of criminal liability."

Durr also described Isabell as a changed man who has quit drinking and recognizes that what he did was wrong.

"I truly believe that Mr. Isabell is a different man today than he was two years ago," Durr said. "I truly believe Mr. Isabell has great remorse and sorrow for what he did. I truly believe he feels remorse not for himself, but for these victims, and I truly believe that if he is given an opportunity, he will prove to the court and to the victims he is worthy of that opportunity."

Isabell told Noonan that he is "very remorseful" and that he is working day and night to earn enough money to repay his debts.

"These are all very good people and they trusted me," Isabell said. "I had done work for these people five or six years ago and based on that relationship, they trusted me. I broke that trust.

"I wasn't there," he added, "to oversee things and make sure things were done right and make sure they were paid. I'm very sorry. I feel terrible that they now feel this way about me because I worked very hard to gain their trust."

The case came to the attention the Sheriff's Office when Le Roy businessman and Oakta Trails property owner John Morrill agreed to let Isabell remove some trees from his land. 

In an interview outside of court, Morrill said Isabell identified himself as "Isabella" and said the trees might fetch Morrill about $1,500.

After months of not hearing from "Isabella" and not getting his calls returned, Morrill spotted some of the same trucks that had been on his property and stopped and talked to the crew.

One of the men, according to Morrill, was Donnie Hendrickson, who was later  charged as a co-defendant in the case.

Morrill said Hendrickson provided the correct identity for Isabell and said about Isabell using a different name, "he does that all the time."

When Isabell got wind that Morrill was going to talk with local law enforcement, he said Isabell offered him a payment of $50 toward the timber.

Because Morrill didn't take the payment, the Sheriff's Office was able to open a criminal investigation (if a potential fraud victim takes such a payment, it creates a contract, making the dispute a civil matter, not a criminal matter).

Duyssen was assigned to the case and located Belluscio as a potential victim.

By this time, Isabell was apparently in the Niagara County Jail for violating his probation from a prior DWI conviction.

According to Duyssen, Isabell apparently heard about the criminal investigation and allegedly sent an employee to Belluscio house at 11 o'clock at night with an offer of $5,600 for the wood.  Belluscio turned down the offer.

Outside of court, she described the late-night appearance of Isabell's employee at her house as frightening.

Eventually, Isabell was indicted on charges of two counts of grand larceny, 4th, three counts of grand larceny, 3rd, issuing a bad check, 22 counts of timber trespass, petit larceny, theft of services and scheme to defraud 1st.

Hendrickson was indicted on charges of grand larceny, 4th, 23 counts of timber trespass, grand larceny, 3rd, and scheme to defraud, 1st.

In January, Hendrickson entered a guilty plea to a misdemeanor and has not yet been sentenced.

According to Durr's statements in court, Hendrickson cut a plea deal with prosecutors in exchange for his testimony against Isabell if the case went to trial.

Durr said the only reason his client was in court, and not Hendrickson, having entered a guilty plea to a felony was because Isabell's criminal past.  If the circumstances were different, Durr said, it would be Hendrickson facing a possible prison sentence.

He said Hendrickson received most of the money from the timber sales and was the person Belluscio dealt with the most on her property.

Assistant District Attorney Kevin Finnell said that when he and the victims read some of the letters sent to the court in support of Isabell, from friends, family and employees, they couldn't believe some of the statements in the letters blaming circumstances rather than Isabell for the crimes.

"These letters seem to suggest there is an excuse 100 times over for why he didn't pay these people, and why these events occurred the way they did" Finnell said. "No where is there any acceptance of responsibility."

Noonan said he had to balance a number of factors in his sentence of Isabell -- from the unrecoverable loss to Belluscio to the damage Isabell has done to his family.

"I have to fashion a sentence that makes a point to you and does not unduly burden society at this point," Noonan said. "I do recognize the fact that you did step up and figure out a way, with the help of people close to you, to financially compensate many of the people, if not all of the people, you involved in this scheme.

"There is a very good argument that I should lock you up and throw away the key," Noonan added. "There is also an argument that if not for the people close to you, who have paid a very huge debt, will only face a heavier burden with a long sentence."

After sentence was pronounced, Durr asked if it could be modified to nine months intermittent incarceration in the jail, giving Isabell an opportunity to work, earn money, and take care of his family as well as pay back debts he still owes.

Finnell opposed the request.

Noonan said, "I had the alternative of sending Mr. Isabell to state prison, but I elected not to do so. I fashioned a sentence for punishment as well as rehabilitation and my decision stands."

The mug shot above of Isabell was taken today after he arrived to begin his stint in the Genesee County Jail.

Burglar of unoccupied Maple Street residence gets eight years in prison

By Billie Owens

A former Thorpe Street resident who was convicted of breaking into the unoccupied Maple Street apartment of a man jailed on drug charges was sentenced to eight years in prison today.

Eric P. Doleman, 41, pled guilty in February of second-degree burglary and first-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a vehicle.

Doleman will serve one-and-a-third to four years concurrently on the aggravated unlicensed operation charge, and after his release from prison he will be under court supervision for five years.

The convictions stem from breaking into the home of Edward R. Freida on Dec. 29. Doleman entered the apartment through a window while his accomplice, Frederick H. Robidoux Jr., waited outside. A neighbor spotted the men loading up a truck with items from the residence and reported this to police. Robidoux was sentenced last week to six years in prison for attempted burglary.

Freida, who is still in jail, was allowed to speak at today's sentencing. Wearing an orange jail jumpsuit and in shackles, Freida asked Genesee County Court Judge Robert C. Noonan to impose the maximum sentence allowable -- eight years.

"I treated this guy like family," Freida said with a clear, emphatic voice. "I gave him food and a place to crash. I'm in jail and then he turns around and robs me."

Then a man in the gallery, who told an attorney he was Doleman's brother, yelled out to Freida "You did your own crime. Did the DA give you a plea deal?"

Noonan asked the man if he wanted to stay in the courtroom and be quiet or leave. The man said he wanted to stay. A deputy walked over to the man and stayed there for the remainder of the sentencing.

"I would not be in jail if not for the defendant," Freida continued.

The judge said he would not consider the statement in determining Doleman's sentence.

"I am not imposing sentence in any fashion because of Mr. Frieda's comment that he's incarcerated because of Mr. Doleman," Noonan said.

Defense attorney Terry Falk asked for the minimum prison time allowable in this case, five years. He said Doleman has never before been convicted of a Class E felony, only misdemeanors, and that the defendant has been cooperative with law enforcement agencies.

"His mother is 64 and she has COPD, and she has fluid around her heart," Falk said, adding the obvious -- that the chance that Doleman's mother will die while her son is in prison increases with a longer sentence.

The matter of restitution was debated and Falk said that although the DA's office requests around $4,000 only $292 can be documented as the material loss resulting from the crimes.

The judge told Falk that the approved plea agreement states that the restitution the DA asked for would be ordered or the DA could withdraw his consent for pleading guilty.

Thus, the defense consented to restitution of $3,810.31, for which Robidoux is jointly responsible.

When asked if he wanted to speak before sentencing, Doleman said "I apologize beforehand. I will be a good citizen upon my release."

The judge was disinclined to believe him, citing Doleman's lengthy history of run-ins with the law.

"You have a very consistent record of breaking the law -- for 20 years," Noonan said, adding that Doleman's lawyer "negotiated a good deal."

Oakfield child molester gets three to six years in prison on burglary conviction

By Billie Owens

An Oakfield child molester who pled guilty to third-degree burglary last month was given a three- to six-year prison sentence this afternoon by Genesee County Court Judge Robert C. Noonan.

In addition, Steven A. Mullen will concurrently serve a sentence of one-and-a-third to four years for failing to register as a sex offender after moving to a new address.

He was given the maximum sentence possible under a plea agreement with the District Attorney's Office. (Although he's a two-time felon, the first-degree sex offense could not be considered for sentencing purposes with regard to the burglary charge.) No restitution or fine was included in the deal.

"Mr. Mullen has a brief criminal history -- only the child molestation conviction before now," said Assistant Public Defender William Harper. "He had a terrible upbringing. He was the victim of sex abuse from multiple offenders."

Harper noted that his client "somewhat understands" how his family history has impacted his judgement.

"He makes poor choices, he acknowleges making poor decisions and knows that his actions affect others," Harper said before asking for the minimum sentence allowable.

When the judge asked Mullen if he had anything to say to the court, the slightly built 25-year-old spoke only of the failure-to-register conviction.

"I knew better, on failure to register, I knew I had 10 days," Mullen said. "I'm only asking the court to be lenient for my family, not myself."

Noonan was not swayed, saying multiple crimes have been committed because of one man's poor choices.

"I can't see that anything else should be afforded you," Noonan said before making his ruling.

Several supporters sat in the gallery behind the defendant and one woman wept softly as the sentence was handed down.

In 2004, Mullen was convicted of first-degree sexual abuse and served two-and-a-half years in prison.

Mullen was arrested earlier this year after an alert neighbor on Weatherwax Road in Oakfield reported a burglary in progress. He has been in Genesee County Jail since his arrest Feb. 16 and subsequent conviction on third-degree burglary.

Sexual abuser said to show little remorse, given 20 years to life in state prison

By Howard B. Owens

The picture that emerged in Genesee County Court this afternoon of Stephen Irving Stone was that of a 45-year-old man with little remorse and with little understanding that sexual abuse of children is wrong.

The only positives Judge Robert C. Noonan found in Stone was that he has no other criminal history and that by pleading guilty Feb. 24 to predatory sexual abuse he saved his victims from the torture of testifying in open court.

For those "limited reasons," Noonan said, he took a little time off the possible maximum sentence and sent Stone to prison for 20 years to life.

Stone's only words in court came after Noonan asked if he wanted to make a statement.

"No, your honor. It is in your hands, sir," said Stone, who came into court with a fully grown beard and shackled and in a jail orange jumpsuit.

The sentencing range available to Noonan was from 10 years to life to 25 years to life.

Assistant District Attorney Kevin Finnell spoke at length about Stone.

"When I read the PSI (pre-sentence investigation report), I came away with three thoughts," Finnell said. "This is a defendant who rationalizes, who minimizes and who fails to accept responsibility."

"I saw nothing," he added, "that said he expresses any kind of remorse or concern for his victims."

Defense Attorney William Harper said he had a slightly different read of the PSI, that Stone had "in his limited ability to do so" expressed remorse and that just prior to his arrest, he had come to the realization that what he was doing was wrong.

"Mr. Stone was indoctrinated into this behavior from an early age by multiple abusers," Harper said. "By his teenage years, he thought it was normal. In my last conversation with him, he told me he is full of regret."

Noonan said Stone's prior abuse was no excuse for his behavior, but noted that his own victims stand a better chance of being able to move on with their lives because Stone was caught, and they were willing to tell investigators what happened and will now benefit from more modern treatment programs.

"This case is one of the most vile set of circumstances I have had the responsibility to be involved in," Noonan said.

"It's amazing to me," he added, 'that a person could have such callous disregard for other human beings."

Noonan said the details of the crimes -- more than 100 acts over a several year period -- that Stone admitted to as "so disturbing" that he couldn't refer to the descriptions in public.

Man who participated in burglary on Maple Street given six years in prison

By Howard B. Owens

A Rochester man with no permanent address said he was just looking for gas money to get back to the city when he went along with a burglary at 10 Maple St., Batavia, on Dec. 11.

Frederick H. Robidoux Jr., 49, will spend six years in prison, Judge Robert C. Noonan ruled this morning.

Robidoux went along with Eric P. Doleman, 41, a former Thorpe Street resident, to the home of a Batavia man who had recently been locked up on drug charges.

An alert neighbor spotted the two men at 3 a.m. loading up a truck with items from the residence.

Doleman entered the apartment through a window while Robidoux waited outside.

For his part, Robidoux entered a guilty plea to attempted burglary Feb. 29. Two days earlier, Doleman admitted to burglary, 2nd, and aggravated unlicensed operation, 1st, and has yet to be sentenced.

District Attorney Lawrence Friedman told Noonan that Robidoux received all of the consideration he should through his plea deal, which reduced his possible maximum sentence down from 15 years to seven.

Defense Attorney Fred Rarick argued that much of Robidoux prior criminal record never led to convictions -- except one prior felony -- and a three or four year sentence would be more appropriate.

Rarick also took issue with a statement in the pre-sentence probation report that said Robidoux didn't accept responsibility for his actions.

"He does take full responsibility," Rarick said. "He's very remorseful."

Robidoux said, "I'm sorry I did it and I take full responsibility. I needed money to get back to Rochester or I wouldn't have been there."

The matter of restitution is still pending. Rarick contends that some of the items the victim claims were stolen were not on the property list of items recovered by police. And given the fact that the two men were captured within minutes of leaving 10 Maple St., it's not reasonable to conclude they took those items.

A hearing on restitution is scheduled for next month.
