An hour after hosing blood off the street and ordering a bystander away from the guy her twins had beaten into a seizure, according to cops, a Staten Island mom was back in Frontierville in search of tools and hardware.
Deborah Berardi, 55, faces felony gang assault charges along with her two sons, Thomas and Anthony, (which I have every faith is pronounced âAnt-knee.â) Police say her boys and another suspect beat up a 24-year-old neighborhood acquaintance, apparently stemming from some dispute with the victimâs girlfriend and a carload of her friends.
âLet him choke,â Berardi allegedly told a witness as the victim was having a seizure on the pavement, then hosed away his blood as he lay at her feet. She then went back to Facebook and played Frontierville, posting an update that she âneeds hammers in order to complete a general store.â
Or to renovate someoneâs face.
Berardi told The Advance of Staten Island that âThe whole thing is wrong. Everything is wrong. It wasnât that way, and thatâs all I have to say. And weâll straighten it out in front of a grand jury.â Thatâs all well and good; but having been arrested and charged, itâs the regular jury where she needs to plead her case.
