Murder ma’s sex ‘appeal’
On Sept. 27, 2005, John Giuca was convicted of murdering Mark Fisher, a 19-year-old football star from New Jersey. According to prosecutors, Fisher encountered Giuca and his friends — who called themselves the "Ghetto Mafia" — while bar-hopping on the Upper East Side in October 2003.
Fisher took up an invitation to continue the party at the house on Prospect Park South, where Giuca still lived with his mother. (Doreen divorced John's father when her son was 2.) The next morning, Fisher's body was found a few blocks from Giuca's home. He had been shot five times in the face and chest and wrapped in a blanket that Doreen would later identify as hers.

THE SON "Ghetto Mafia" bruiser John Giuca, convicted in 2005.
THE VICTIM NJ jock Mark Fisher shot dead after party.
It was a sensational case that became known as the "grid kid" slaying, and in 2005, Giuca and his accomplice, Antonio Russo, were sentenced of 25 years to life.
In 2010, based on new evidence uncovered by his mother in her extraordinary sting operation — which involved months spent wooing Jason Allo, who was Juror No. 8 in her son's trial — Giuca filed an appeal. He lost, but his attorney has filed an appeal in federal court, with the ruling expected within the next few weeks.
Even now Doreen is astonished that her son was found guilty. Two witnesses — one of whom was John's girlfriend at the time of the murder — testified that John confessed to giving Russo the gun and telling him to show Fisher "what's up." The prosecution's theory was that the murder was prompted by Fisher having leaned against a table in Giuca's home.
"I thought I heard [the verdict] wrong," Doreen says today. "Once the jury came back with 'guilty,' I thought, 'There's something wrong here.' "
One month later, Doreen says, she hatched her plan: She would go deep undercover, targeting one juror in particular, and prove that her son had been railroaded.
'My first approach was to go to him as Doreen Giuliano," she says. "Then I said, 'No.' He's not gonna come two feet near me."
Though Doreen has said before that she tried (and failed) to befriend two other jurors before Allo, today she insists that he was the only one. It's unclear how she would have learned their names and addresses: Jurors filled out no forms, and attorneys for both sides had no information, either. She says she learned where Allo lived by asking around. "His barber ratted him out," she says.
She concocted an alter ego: Dee Quinn. (Quinn is her maiden name.) "Dee" was a business-management consultant from California, and she had the business cards ($ 20 from Staples) to prove it, with her alternate cell number and e-mail address.
