Kings County District Attorney Charles J. Hynes today announced the conviction of Robert Ramirez, who attacked two police officers in July 2006, to prevent the officers from arresting his stepfather, Jose Morales, who was convicted of Resisting Arrest, in the same trial.

Ramirez, 29, was convicted of Assault in the Second Degree. Both defendants will be sentenced May 6. Ramirez faces up to seven years in prison. Morales, 51, faces a maximum one-year sentence.

Police Officers Dominick Desiervi and Jason Jeremiah were responding to a noise complaint at an outdoor party at the Glenwood Houses development on East 56 Street, on July 24, 2006. Morales began arguing with, and shoving, Officer Jeremiah when they tried to speak to the DJ, about turning down the music. As the officers attempted to handcuff Morales and arrest him, Ramirez hit the officers in the head and neck with a folded metal “Razor” scooter. In response to the attack, Officer Jeremiah shot Ramirez once, wounding him in the chest.

Lewis Lieberman, Deputy Chief of the Investigations Bureau, prosecuted the case.
