Dear Members of the Judiciary Committee:

This letter is delivered in opposition to the re-confirmation to Judge Stephen Frazzini to

the position as a Superior Court Judge.
As you are aware, I was present at the judiciary committee hearing on Friday, January
23 2015 and provided oral and written testimony in opposition to Judge Taggart Adams,
who was alleged in my oral testimony to have committed perjury in his sworn testimony
provided to the judiciary committee.
Similarly, Judge Frazzini delivered knowingly false testimony to the judiciary committee
on Friday, January 23, 2015.
As captured in the sworn testimony and the CT-N demand recorded video of Judge
Frazzinis testimony, there were two instances in which Judge Frazzini indicated he was
not a member of the Connecticut Chapter of the AFCC.
The attached list of the 129 members of the AFCC was for the year 2014.
Judge Frazzinis name is clearly listed in the attached documents as number 43.
Judge Frazzinis testimony that he wasnt sure that the Connecticut Chapter of the
AFCC had ever gotten off the ground was also a false statement made by Judge
Frazzini.
In order to become a member of the local chapter of the AFCC an additional fee of $20
is paid.
Therefore, the statement of Judge Frazzini that he was a member of the national
organization only was a blatantly false statement.
There is also an issue of disclosure of what constitutes a business relationship if
Judge Frazzini was to have assigned a fellow AFCC Chapter member an assignment as
a GAL or AMC as to whether that establishes a business relationship.

While Judge Frazzini was not a member of the Board of Directors of the AFCC, when
the April 19, 2013 Committee on Judicial Ethics issued advisory opinions 2013-14,
2013-15 and 2013-16 and 2013-31.
However, Judge Frazzini referenced his mentor was Judge Lynda Munro, in his
testimony to the judiciary committee.
The less than truthful testimony of Judge Frazzini about his membership in the
Connecticut Chapter of the AFCC was designed to mislead the committee members in
regards to their deliberations.
The judiciary committee cannot have a tolerance of any kind for the delivery of sworn
testimony in a judiciary committee process which constitutes material false or
misleading testimony.
Inasmuch as all members of judiciary committee did not have the attached document
(only Representative Gonzalez and Representative Dan Fox appeared to have
reviewed the list) in their possession on the date of January 23 2015, it is appropriate to
ask that this letter to be posted on the judiciarys website with the list of Connecticut
Chapter of the AFCC.
Based upon the review of these documents, any member of the judiciary committee or
member of the General Assembly can consider this document and its attachments
before votes are cast in the House or Senate on confirmation.
For the foregoing reasons, I would ask that the members of the judiciary committee
recall Judge Frazzini for further sworn testimony to explain his disingenuous remarks
to the judiciary committee and why members of judiciary committee should not consider
these remarks as grounds for criminal prosecution for probable cause for perjury to be
reported to the Office of Chief State Attorney for prosecution for having made knowingly
false statements under oath.
Cordially,

Michael J. Nowacki
