A great tragedy. I hope better procedures evolved from this case.

By the way, I don't think they had to "drive passed". The probably had to drive PAST.

Officer Andrews, I read your story in "Brave Hearts." You were a true hero serving your community well. Losing you was a tragedy for those you swore to protect and your family. Thank you for all you did.

I am glad tor the verdict and thankful that the death penalty still exists in the federal courts so that these two families received the full measure of justice they deserved for the brutal murder of their loved ones. I am remembering with gratitude the service and supreme sacrifice of Detectives Andrews and Nemorin today and hold all who call them beloved in my heart's embrace.

Its hard to believe that you were killed 10 years ago. Your children have grown to be very special young people, and you would have been proud of them yesterday.
Rest in Peace Jay.

May God bless BOTH these brave brothers and their families.
In reading the events that transpired, a red flag went up with the cops returning a week later to buy another weapon. I think that led to the suspects suspecting they were cops. Maybe not enough time had lapsed between buys. Maybe the backup cops should have kept a closer eye on their partners. Who knows? Nevertheless, I sincerely hope the NYPD has reviewed and revised this buy and bust procedure.

I remember Detective Andrews coming over to my family's home ever so often to play dominoes, when I was going through the beginning stages of my investigation to get into the NYPD Police Academy. He was a very good friend of my father-in-law. I met him when I started my process and he told me that He, too, was a Police Officer, and He used to give me brief synopsis' of the job, here and there. I also remember that when his two boys used to misbehave, he would NOT yell at them or punish them, but yet, make them drop down and pump out ten push-ups, and because he was such a fitness buff and in great shape, that always gave me great motivation to try to stay in shape and treat everyone with respect and dignity they way he showed his two boys at my home. I truly respect the way Detective Andrews carried himself and I would love to Honor his memory by carrying myself in the same fashion. When he passed my Father-in-Law, and my family were crushed, because he was such a nice guy and he always treated me with Respect and like a Cop even though I wasn't even on the Job yet. He will always be missed and Honored by Myself and my family. God Bless You both Rodney and Detective James Nemorin and the families, you left behind. May you both Rest in the Lord's Kingdom Forever!!!

Looking back now, I still can't believe you are gone. We had some good times together working "The Heights" while in the MNTF. You were one of the truest people I ever met and your courage will never be forgotten. You're appearance always made people think twice, but if they only knew the kind hearted person you were. You were a true friend will will never be forgotten. Rest In Peace Jay.
