Assault victim fears elderly woman’s murder could have been prevented
Editor's note: Hey, Rabbi Moshe Faskowitz and sisters, Attorney Miriam Solo, et al...Why didn't you all include your brother Mordechai Faskowitz in the alleged "Uncle Irving" Estate? That's fraud against a disabled person, isn't it? Poor Mordy really got the shaft with Irv's estate and now he faces life imprisonment for murdering Gayle Ivy. Shame on all of you.

Near the intersection of Thorndale and Glenwood in Chicago’s Edgewater neighborhood, just across the street from Senn High School we heard Maurice La Bonte’s account of being attacked.
Just weeks ago, Maurice was attacked, allegedly at the hands of 63-year-old Mordecai Faskowitz.
“And before I knew it he was on me. He spit at me, he punched me,” Maurice said he was dragged across the street and yelled for help.
Police quickly arrived.
“It took five officers to bring that guy down,” Maurice said, “He really meant to hurt– I could see it in his eyes I knew immediately he wasn’t well. I could tell that he had some sort of psychotic break.”
Faskowitz was taken into custody and to the hospital, but according to Maurice, that’s where his story ends.
“One of those six responding officers could have taken a minute to ask me how I was. I asked, please take my statement and they told me, not necessary.”
It’s a moment that haunts him today.
“I can’t help but think it might have been prevented.”
Knowing that just this week– just feet from where his attack happened, Faskowitz was arrested. This time for murdering 70-year-old Marjorie Ivy, inside the apartment the long-time friends once shared.
Police said Faskowitz admitted to the crime for which he’s now charged.
“I sort of fell to the floor in a puddle because I couldn’t help but think maybe, just maybe, if the information about my assault had been given to the healthcare professionals, just maybe they wouldn’t have released him so soon. And I thought maybe this woman would be alive.”
Maurice said despite his alderman’s office getting involved in his case before Ivy’s murder, he has yet to hear from Chicago Police himself.
In a statement, 48th Ward Alderman Harry Osterman said:
“I have asked the Chicago Police Department to investigate every aspect of this case, including what has transpired from the assault in September up to Wednesday’s tragedy.”
When we contacted Chicago Police about the assault case, we were told that the offender was taken to Lakeshore Hospital, involuntarily admitted and kept under supervision.
As is standard procedure, they wrote, the victim of the battery was informed of his options to pursue the case should he wish.
Maurice said that’s not how he remembers it and is simply worried that a breakdown in communication may have allowed this suspect back into the public to commit another crime.
“I just couldn’t get that thought out of my mind. Could we have prevented this incident?”

- Very unfortunate situation. Mordy is the brother of Chicago Attorney Miriam Solo who by her own admission in a legal educational video is also Mordy's legal guardian. This Shark reported to the State of Florida Attorney General that the "three siblings" of Miriam Solo, aka Miriam Greenfield, aka Miriam Faskowitz, aka Miriam Soloveichik excluded Mordy, a fifth sibling from an inheritance in Florida.
The two million dollar inheritance was from an alleged deceased relative in Florida, Irving Fisk Faskowitz. The Florida Attorney General discovered that Miriam and her "three other siblings" were not entitled to the inheritance and retained the half of the Irving Faskowitz Estate not dispersed, for coffers of the State of Florida.
To the best of Your ProbateShark's knowledge the real decendents of Irving, his two brothers, David and Samuel or their decendents were never advised using due diligence by the State of Florida as being true heirs to Irving's Estate. In essence, total strangers with the same last name recovered the life achievements of Irving Fisk Faskowitz and the fifth unrelated sibling, Mordechai Faskowitz was excluded.

"To the best of Your ProbateShark's knowledge the real decedents of Irving, his two brothers, David and Harry or their decendents were never advised using due diligence by the State of Florida as being true heirs to Irving's Estate.

So what is it, exactly, that bothers you? That they are thieves, or that they didn't share their ill gotten gains with their disabled brother?
Are David and Harry decedents of Irving? I'm not sure what that means. Decedent means "one who is dead." Are they the dead ones of Irving? Or maybe you mean descendants. But are brothers descendants? I thought children or legal wards were desecendants?
Oh, my mistake. I thought you were a serious and rational independent investigator, but now I realize that you're just letting off steam for a perceived injustice. It's an emotional thing, and nothing has to really make sense. Sorry to bother you.
Thank you so much for your most helpful comments on the ProbateSharks.com blog. We appreciate all constructive comments to the blog. This Shark apologizes for errors as his fish brain is limited. This Shark has corrected 2 incorrect words in the posting i.e. decedents changed to descendants and Harry Faskowitz to Samuel Faskowitz. Your ProbateShark checked the genealogy that ProbateSharks.com commissioned after witnessing the incongruities of the genealogy prepared by the Faskowitz-Solo Clan for the court in Sebring, Florida. This genealogy along with the complete Irving Fisk Faskowitz file is being limited to law enforcement personnel only.
Barzilai, what bothers this Shark is that one of the Faskowitz siblings is the same person who defrauded Alice R. Gore, a 99 year old disabled ward of the Probate Court of Cook County, removed her gold teeth, her fortune, her liberty and placed an unnecessary gastric tube into her stomach thus depriving her of one of her favorite senses, her taste of food. Yes, if these are the acts of thieves and people who would rob their own brother of any gains...legal or ill begotten...if the shoe fits...so be it.
Your ProbateShark has big shoulders and accepts your criticism as he is a fish and not a professional investigator. As a sister and legal guardian of Mordy much more would be expected, but alas this was not forthcoming and the results to Marjorie Gayle Ivy were horrendous, deadly, and fatal.
Barzilai, I have not corrected your errors in the word descendants in your original comment which you misspelled.
