Jersey City man guilty of reckless manslaughter in 2009 fatal beating
By Anthony J. Machcinski/The Jersey Journal May 15, 2013 at 4:44 PM A Jersey City man accused of beating a man so severely that the victim fell into a coma and died a month later has been found guilty of lesser charges of reckless manslaughter and criminal trespass. The man, Tim McGeachy, 46, sat silently in the courtroom while the jury returned its verdict this afternoon in front of Hudson County Superior Court Judge Joseph Isabella. McGeachy had been charged with felony murder, as well as robbery, burglary and criminal trespass. The jury found that McGeachy was not guilty of two counts of felony murder, but said he was guilty of second-degree reckless manslaughter. McGeachy was also found not guilty on both the robbery and burglary charges. On Nov. 24, 2009, McGeachy got into an altercation with Jackie Sinclair, 31, of Dales Avenue in front of Sinclair's home. During the fight, McGeachy threw Sinclair down a flight of steps and "pounded" him, according to one witness. Sinclair was taken to Jersey City Medical Center following the incident, where he died on Christmas Day 2009. McGeachy will be sentenced on June 28 and faces 5 to 10 years in prison. http://www.nj.com/hudson/index.ssf/20 ... _in_200.html#incart_river

Suspect in fatal JC beating apprehended in Pa.
JERSEY CITY AND PENNSYLVANIA - Hudson County Prosecutor Edward DeFazio on Thursday gave some good news before the year's end. DeFazio said Tim McGeachy, 43, formerly of Clinton Avenue in Jersey City, was arrested earlier in the day by police in the Pennsylvania town of New Castle, 50 miles northwest of Pittsburgh, as a suspect in the fatal November beating of 41-year-old Jackie Sinclair in front of Sinclair's home on Dales Avenue in Jersey City. DeFazio said based on information by witnesses, McGeachy and Sinclair were in a confrontation on Nov. 24 over money when McGeachy allegedly struck Sinclair in the face and on the head until Sinclair fell and hit his head against an iron fence. DeFazio said McGeachy allegedly continued beating Sinclair while he was lying on the ground. DeFazio said Sinclair did not regain consicousness and died on Christmas Day from what an autopsy revealed was the result of head trauma incurred in the attack. DeFazio said police in New Castle spotted McGeachy on the street. DeFazio said McGeachy allegedly fled to New Castle where it is believed he had relatives. A warrant had been issued for his arrest. DeFazio said both Sinclair and McGeachy had previously served jail time. Anyone with further information into Sinclair's murder can call the Hudson County Prosecutor's Office Homicide Squad at (201) 915-1345. - RK
