New York (JTA) — In two
days of depositions taken
here last week by represent-
atives of the Crown Heights
Jewish community, New
York Mayor David Dinkins
appeared, by turn, angry
and defensive.
Mr. Dinkins has made it
clear he has felt victimized
by the Chasidim who are su-
ing him, and representatives
of the Chasidim have made
it clear they believe the
mayor is being intransigent
and dishonest.
And no matter whether
the Jews of New York
believe that the mayor is
guilty of ordering police to
hold back from protecting
the Jewish community; or of
being irresponsibly dis-
engaged from what was
happening at the time; or
could not have done a better
job, few believe that any-
one's mind has been changed
by his testimony.
"It hasn't changed a single
mind," said Phillip Saperia,
director of the mayor's office
of Jewish affairs. "For the
most part, people made up
their minds before."
"The damage done to
Dinkins in most Jewish
communities (of New York),
unless there's some new
smoking gun, was done by
the Girgenti report," said a
senior Jewish organizational
official who requested ano-
nymity.
The Girgenti report, issued
last month, was the result of
the state's investigation into
the rioting of Aug. 19-21,
1991, in the Crown Heights
section of Brooklyn. The
violence, in which one Jew
was killed, was set off by the
accidental death of a black
boy by a Chasidic driver.
The report found several
inconsistencies in the
memories of mayoral aides,
who said they did not know
how dangerous Crown
Heights was during the first
day and night of rioting.
The report also found that
while Mr. Dinkins did not
order police to hold back in
protecting the Jews, the
mayor was detached from
the crisis, and did not closely
supervise the actions of the
police.
The Crown Heights Jewish
Community Council and the
estate of Yankel Rosenbaum
filed a class action suit
against Mr. Dinkins and the
City of New York, claiming
that the civil rights of the

David Dinkins:
Feels victimized.

Chasidic Jews were violated
as the police stood by
without protecting them
from rioting blacks during
August 1991.
Mr. Rosenbaum, a
Lubavitcher Chasid from
Melbourne, Australia, was
in New York doing research
on the Holocaust when he
was murdered by a gang of
young blacks.
They were rampaging
through Crown Heights yell-
ing "Kill the Jew" in
retaliation for the accidental
death of 7-year-old Gavin
Cato earlier that evening,
who had been run over by an
out-of- control car driven by
a Lubavitcher.
The only suspect charged
in his murder, Lemrick

The violence was
set off by the
accidental death
of a black boy by
a Chasidic driver.

Nelson, was acquitted on
Oct. 30, 1992.
The class action suit
against Mr. Dinkins and the
city was filed by the Jews of
Crown Heights on Nov. 17,
1992.
Both those on Mr. Dinkins'
side and his opponents in
this case agree that while no
one's mind has been chang-
ed, he has been successful,
