1 Thursday, April 16, 1992 The Philadelphia Inquirer NJ Bl 1 South Jersey deaths I i 1 I I it i4 4 ill1! 'fa 1 fV 9ssd Officer to seek disability after killing teen ASSOCIATED FHESS HACKENSACK, N.J. Teaneck Police Officer Gary Spath plans to file for a disability pension, claiming emotional distress after he shot a teenager to death, according to published reports. In February, Spath, 31, was found not guilty of reckless manslaughter in the April 1990 shooting of 15-year-old Phillip Pannell. To qualify for the pension, Spath must prove that he is unable to work either for mental or physical reasons because of a "traumatic event" on the job. The application could be submitted to the New Jersey-run Police and Firemen's Retirement System by the end of the week, attorney James Pa-tuto said in yesterday's New York Times.

Patuto is the partner of Robert Galantucci, Spath's attorney. "I'm respecting Gary's wishes and not commenting on this matter," Galantucci said. Under the plan, Spath would get a yearly pension for the rest of his life equal to two-thirds of his current salary of $46,000. Spath has been on paid sick leave since March 10. His doctors have not cleared him to return to work.

During his trial, Spath testified that he shot Pannell in self-defense because Pannell was reaching for a gun. Prosecutors had contended that Pannell was shot with his hands up as if in surrender. Pannell's parents, Phillip Sr. and Thelma, have filed a civil lawsuit against Spath, the town of Teaneck and the Teaneck Police Department. They charge that their son was the victim of excessive force when he was killed, and that the department did not properly train its officers.

The mayor announced a plan yesterday to make the city's streets safe and conceded that he feels nervous when he steps out. When asked whether he felt safe walking in East Orange, Mayor Car-dell Cooper replied, "I feel as safe as any human being can in these trying circumstances the mayor feels apprehension." Cooper said a $50,000 state grant would enable the city to expand police foot patrols, publish pamphlets with safety tips and expand its community policing program. The grant follows the discovery last week of the bodies of four women who had been beaten or stabbed to death. A paroled sex offender, Jerome Dennis of East Orange, has been charged with the four killings, as well as the death of another woman in Newark. At least three of the women were raped.

The East Orange Police Department has 270 officers. Police Chief Harry Harman said 45 officers assigned to foot patrols would work expanded hours. iw.n nwiiimii i in iiiupiuii-im iinuiinwu.
