As Final Appeals Brief Filed, GrokAI Predicts Most Likely Outcome in Vaccaro NRPD Lawsuit

DUBLIN, IRELAND (May 18, 2025) — The appeal in Michael Vaccaro’s gripping legal battle to overturn his termination by the New Rochelle Police Department has reached a critical juncture: with the final brief filed on May 8, 2025, all submissions are now in the hands of the Appellate Division, Second Department, awaiting a decision. Typically, the court takes between 6 and 12 months from the last filing to issue a ruling, so we could see a resolution by November 2025 or as late as May 2026.

I’m not qualified to dive into the legal weeds of the extensive court documents—ranging from the Verified Petition to the Appellant’s and Respondent’s Briefs—which I am publishing here for readers to explore. Instead, I turned to Grok, an AI developed by xAI with a knack for dissecting complex legal filings, to analyze the case and predict the most likely outcomes. What follows is Grok’s take on the appeal’s potential fate, and if the predictions miss the mark, well, blame the AI, not me!

Grok assigns a 35% probability to the most likely outcome which may or may not result in Vaccaro being reinstated to the New Rochelle Police Department with back pay.
