The final verdicts came in today in the Deutsche Bank Building fire case, and the two remaining defendants, John Galt Corp. and construction supervisor Michael Alvo were found not guilty of numerous felony charges.
Both had been charged with involuntary manslaughter, negligent homicide, and reckless endangerment in connection with the August 18, 2007 fire that claimed the lives of FDNY firefighters Robert Beddia and Joseph Graffagnino. Galt was convicted of a misdemeanor charge of reckless endangerment, which carries a $5,000 penalty.
Two construction supervisors, Jeffrey Melofchik and Salvatore DePaola, were acquitted last week.
