In 2005, Richard J. Condon, the special commissioner of investigation for New York City schools, separately investigated the events at Cobble Hill. The result of his 23-month investigation was a 2007 report that, according to the "New York Times," referred to Nobile as “a subpar teacher with poor evaluations who wrongly accused Ms. Capra of engineering a cheating scheme because she had given him a negative review that could have led to his firing.” (After the first investigation, he gained tenure.) The report blamed investigator Scarcella for producing a “deeply flawed report,” and being “biased and overtly influenced by Mr. Nobile.”, who was at the time the union chapter leader. Capra was reinstated in the New York public schools, and George was allowed to return to Cobble Hill.
