I was fielding calls from the media yesterday about Robert Guidi<\/a>, that fellow in Mine Hill, New Jersey who pretended to be a Special Forces Vietnam POW but was actually a postal clerk in a Headquarters Company in the 101st Division. Peggy Wright at the Daily Record<\/a> says that he has a criminal record;<\/p>\n

In 2007, Guidi was indicted by a Morris County grand jury on charges of bilking three homeowners in Denville out of $63,901 in home improvements and landscaping projects that never were completed. He pleaded guilty to theft, according to a computer court record and Guidi’s former attorney, but the exact sentence he received in 2009 was not immediately available.<\/p>\n

Twenty years ago, Guidi was a controversial, key witness for the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office in its murder-for hire trial against Pamela Young, who was charged and acquitted of trying to hire a hit-man to kill a man she briefly dated but who wound up harassing and stalking her. The trial was reported extensively by the Daily Record.<\/p>\n

Guidi, then living in Parsippany, testified at trial in 1996 that he was involved in plans in 1994 to start a prostitution business but went to police because of threats from a rival prostitution ringleader. Guidi testified that he met Young in the course of business dealings and that she confided to him she wanted to find a hitman to kill a stalking ex-boyfriend. Guidi told the jury he alerted State Police to Young’s alleged quest to find a hitman.<\/p>\n

During cross-examination of Guidi by a defense lawyer, jurors heard that Guidi was convicted in 1992 of impersonating a federal drug enforcement officer, faked his own death on another occasion, and lived in Colorado for awhile, where he pretended that his wife and child had been killed in an accident when they actually were alive.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is not my shocked face – stolen valor is just an indicator that there are other crimes. The prosecutor should keep digging on Guidi.<\/p>\n

Fred Aun at TapInto<\/a> says that Guidi has been giving other media folks false information for quite awhile when he discovered that no one would bother checking on him;<\/p>\n

In 2014, Guidi told a local newspaper that he has terminal cancer from exposure to Agent Orange. In the article, Guidi spoke about the negative way he was treated upon returning home from his valorous tour of duty in Southeast Asia.<\/p>\n

He reportedly expressed dismay at the way he was treated by the Veterans Administration: \u201cAs a result, Guidi did not talk about his experience in Vietnam,\u201d said the story. \u201cHe even went so far as to burn the medals he was given, including the Medal of Valor, Bronze Star and Purple Heart.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, I don’t see someone like Guidi burning any of his medals, and I still don’t know what a “Medal of Valor” is. In the Daily Record, they reported that the county veterans’ service officer had dealings with Guidi in the past few years and that he had an “uneasy feeling” about Guidi. You should always go with that feeling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
