I can't open the newspaper article, it keeps timing out. If someone has read it, could they please let me know what the reason for dismissal of some charges were for? If you're able to copy it, better yet.
Thanks
Something worth mentioning: In NYS, Supreme Court judges are elected by the voters in the county where they preside.
The Chief Judge and the 6 associate judges of the NYS Court of Appeals, the highest court in NY, are appointed by the governor and confirmed by the NYS Senate. Andrew Cuomo appointed every one of the currently sitting judges, they sit for a 14 year term.
The well is somewhat poisoned.
