Miss Anything? This Week in Review

Defendants in two high-profile cases were in court this week. One-time Harrison cop Ralph Tangredi appeared in Port Chester on Monday and murder suspect Stacey Pagli appeared in White Plains on Wednesday.

Tangredi was released on $1,000 bail Monday while awaiting trial for his arrest outside a Port Chester bar on Aug. 14. He pled not guilty to misdemeanor charges but was not forced to enter a plea on felony charges for impersonating an officer. Police said this week that Tangredi launched into an obscenity-laced tirade when bouncers wouldn't let him into a Port Chester bar the night of his arrest. They also said that he displayed an I.D. card and claimed to be a still-active member of the Harrison Police Department.

He is charged with disorderly conduct and two felony counts of impersonating an officer.

Stacey Pagli, who is charged with second-degree murder in the death of her daughter on the Manhattanville College campus in February, appeared in White Plains court on Wednesday. Attorneys confirmed at the hearing that John Pagli, Stacey's husband, has participated in a mental evaluation of his wife.

The evaluation will be used to determine Stacey Pagli's mental state the day police believe she strangled her daughter. If experts believe Stacey was suffering from severe depression the day of the killing charges could be reduced from second-degree murder to manslaughter.
