We want to know the name of the Perlitz "supporter" who made ethnic slurs, threats, accusations and derogatory remarks against a female federal prosecutor

"During this call, when a supporter suggested that the prosecutor (who was born outside the United States and is of Indian descent) should 'take care of your own f*****g country, you f*****g bitch,' Douglas Perlitz laughs again. 


This sleazy and cowardly "supporter" can be sure of one thing. When the sentencing hearing is concluded, advocates for abuse victims will be searching court files to determine the "supporter's" identity. 

Excerpt from U.S. Government Sentencing Memorandum


Throughout June and July 2010, defendant, along with a family member and a supporter, made repeated threats, accusations, ethnic slurs and derogatory remarks regarding the federal prosecutors assigned to his criminal case. Given that Perlitz knew his telephone conversations were being recorded, it is rather evident that Perlitz, his brother in Colorado, and his supporter sought to intimidate the AUSAs by: (1) comments made during the recorded telephone calls; and (2) by Douglas Perlitz?s cavalier attitude when his brother promised to seek revenge against the prosecutors assigned to the case. Moreover, it is rather obvious that when Perlitz engaged in conversations with his brother who was not incarcerated, a potential threat existed that Perlitz?s brother would carry out the threats discussed during these telephone conversations. Indeed, Perlitz?s brother made it clear that he was "serious" about taking retaliatory action against the AUSAs no matter the consequences. At the very least, Perlitz and his family members sought to intimidate the prosecutors by making such statements on telephone calls that they knew were being recorded.


The threats were made in four of the telephone calls took place from June 12, 2010 through July 15, 2010. A copy of the pertinent calls and a chart describing the nature of the threats has been provided to the Probation Officer and is available for the Court?s review.4 From these calls, the following is clear:


1. When defendant?s brother first mentions on June 12, 2010 that he cannot wait to "go after **** [AUSAs] Patel and Reynolds" and assures Douglas Perlitz that he is "serious" and "does not care" what the consequences are, Perlitz laughs. The refers to the AUSA as a "f*****g bitch" and a "f*****g whore" who should be "flipping burgers." The brother goes on to state "Can?t wait to go after f*****g [names the AUSA] I?m going to go after that bitch." No effort is made by Douglas Perlitz to dissuade his brother from seeking to take revenge on the AUSAs. See call dated June 12, 2010.


2. When the threats from the brother escalate five days later while both acknowledge that the conversation is being recorded, the brother assures Douglas Perlitz that he will "track her ass down" [referring to one particular AUSA]. The brother in Colorado states "I?ll tell you what f*****g [referring to same AUSA], f*****g grease head, f*****g where she from, India? I?ll track her down." Douglas Perlitz laughs while halfheartedly suggesting that his brother should not say stuff like that. See call dated June 17, 2010.


3. After the Government advised the Court that it would pursue charges in New York following the dismissal on venue grounds in Connecticut, Douglas Perlitz referred to the AUSA singled out by his brother as a "pyscho bitch." During this call, when a supporter suggested that the prosecutor (who was born outside the United States and is of Indian descent) should "take care of your own f*****g country, you f*****g bitch," Douglas Perlitz laughs again. See call dated July 14, 2010.
