NEW YORK — The accused Queens “duck sauce killer” denied gunning down a restaurant deliveryman and said he was committing suicide because he didn’t want to be sent back to the notorious Rikers Island jail complex.
In a long, rambling suicide note he wrote before he fatally shot himself on Aug. 5, suspect Glenn Hirsch called his case “very winnable” and said he had actually been looking forward to his day in court — but not to being locked up again.
“After my edifying monthlong stay on Rikers Island, I have elected not to return to the jail for the next two years pending trial,” Hirsch wrote in the note, filed in Queens Criminal Court on Monday. “I did however enjoy playing chess, but as a practical matter, the accommodations left much to be desired.”
