Less severe penalty urged for Mulroy
A former Court of Appeals Justice Stewart Han cock Jr argues the racial slur may be pivotal in Mulroy's case but disputes the commission's basis for removal. Hancock's brief cites judicial independence and other cases with lighter penalties, while defending plea bargaining to curb caseloads. The County Judges Association stresses independence and warns against undermining public confidence. The commission seeks removal despite amicus opposition, and defenders urge mitigating factors and protections against "gotcha" removals.

Judge allows cameras in court in select proceedings
Syracuse Judge Branetting ruled cameras may enter his courtroom for non testimony proceedings. He cited a 1952 civil rights law not prohibiting filming during arraignments pleas and sentencing, while noting balanced rights of media and defendants. Local judges move toward broader camera access amid similar rulings and recent high profile uses.

Village Voters Review Liverpool Traffic Bypass Plan
About 150 residents gathered at the village fire station to review a Syracuse Metropolitan Transportation Council plan for a bypass linking Electronics Parkway and Cold Springs Road to divert commuters from Oswego Street. The proposal also suggests narrowing Oswego Street to two lanes with a center turn lane to steer traffic away, drawing concerns about losing customers and changing the village’s character. Supporters argued the Thruway could handle increased traffic with improved ramps, while opponents on Old Liverpool Road resisted a cross-over to Electronics Parkway and fears of a walled community. The plan carries an estimated cost of at least 13 million dollars.
