Ostroy was said to be considering an appeal. liable for Pillco's vicious crime', and that there was likewise insufficient evidence presented to find that either the building's management agents or its owners 'had reason to believe that Pillco was a dangerous person who should not have been allowed to work at the premises' in order to find them vicariously liable. The court determined that Ostroy had not established legal grounds to hold the contractor liable, writing 'While this court sympathizes with loss, plaintiffs have not presented sufficient legal grounds upon which to hold Bradford. On July 7, 2011, the lawsuit was dismissed by Judge Louis York.
According to a New York Post article, among other allegations, the complaint stated that ''Pillco was an undocumented immigrant.' as were his co-workers, and that 'it was in Bradford General Contractors' interest not to have 'police and immigration officials to the job site' because that would have ground their work to a halt'.

The second version was consistent with the lack of dust on Shelly's shoes (which she was not wearing when found) and seemed to be a confession to murder, but prosecutors reportedly thought if charged with murder Pillco might return to his original account and a jury trial could find him guilty of a lesser charge. After assaulting her and rendering her unconscious, he killed her by staging the fake suicide. Subsequently, Pillco gave a completely different account in which he said while on a break he had noticed Shelly returning to her apartment and followed her. Pillco's original version of what happened was that when Shelly asked if the noise could be kept down, he threw a hammer at her and, afraid she would make a complaint that might result in his deportation, followed her back to her apartment, where the petite 40-year-old hit him, and was killed by a fall during a struggle. On November 6, 2006, the press reported the arrest of a 19-year-old construction worker, Diego Pillco, who according to police had confessed on tape to attacking Shelly, and then staging the fake suicide by hanging her.
