    CRANE A CUT-RATE HEAP: PA - By DAREH GREGORIAN, BILL SANDERSON and JEANE MacINTOSH, New York Post
    In papers filed Thursday in Manhattan Supreme Court, his father asked for a court order instructing the city to keep the crane as evidence for a planned lawsuit.

    A spokeswoman for the city's Law Department said the request would be honored.

    "We just don't want this to happen to any other family," the dead man's mother, Maria Leo, 48, told The Post.

    In his filing, Donald Leo noted, "I have some knowledge of the Kodiak tower crane that killed my son, because while he and my [other] son Shawn were away with friends for Donald's bachelor party, I covered [for him] at the site."

    Leo said the owner of the killer crane, New York Crane & Equipment boss James Frank Lomma, got a steep discount when he bought the used machine "12 to 15 years ago" from a Canadian company because that model had been discontinued and replacement parts would be hard to come by, the papers said.
