Here’s a story detailing some of Barbara Ricci’s alleged criminal history…..she did plead guilty to harassment re: the uniformed police officer she hit.
Mrs Ricci, let me remind you that you cannot fabricate negative stories about people and post in a public forum. While I am aware that you are a pauper, you are still held to the laws of liability. Raymond Hernandez
The Mount Vernon Police office was named Michael Pelliccio, he was punched and kicked by Barbara Ricci during a school board meeting in 1993 and he had to go to the hospital.
Barbara Ricci pled guilty to harassment in that case. Sadly rather than thank her lucky stars that she did not get a criminal conviction she seems angry at the world in that case.
She did go to trial in the case of endangering a child in 1995 according to David Alper of the Mount Vernon Assistant District Attorney’s office at the time. I guess the child was 11 and the name of the mother of the child was Anna Merck.
It’s true that Ricci was not found guilty but that was after two trials, and in the second she refused to take the stand and testify. I guess it’s hard to convict on an incident where it’s not filmed. Again, rather than thank GOD she didn’t go to jail Ricci seems hell bent on attacking Pirro for some strange reason. Pirro had zilch to do with the case I’m sure.

She is of course described as a bigot.

Barbara Ricci has been bizarre for many years. Her husband has been faking a disability so he does not have to work and they live in gov’t subsidized housing. Again, facts that are public record. Perhaps the IRS & DSS should look into their “profitable website?”
August 13-19; Congeniality, New York Style
Barbara Ricci, the winner of New York State's Mrs. Congeniality contest this year, was acquitted last week of having committed a most uncongenial act -- trying to run down her neighbor's 11-year-old daughter with a car.
But the acquittal doesn't exactly make Mrs. Ricci the most agreeable woman in the state, as 24 of her fellow contestants judged her to be during the pageant. In 1993, Mrs. Ricci pleaded guilty to a charge of harassment after being arrested for punching, kicking and pushing a police officer in Mount Vernon, where she lives.
As for Mrs. Ricci's acquittal on charges that she tried to run over her neighbor's child, that came only after a second trial. The first trial in Mount Vernon City Court ended with a hung jury earlier this year.
So what made the difference? According to David Hebert, a spokesman for the Westchester County District Attorney's office, "she took the stand in the first trial." The second time, Mrs. Congeniality kept mum. RAYMOND HERNANDEZ
