Syracuse Police Chief in Controversial Press Conference
Syracuse Police Chief Tim Foody faced criticism after a volatile press conference over a $816,000 jury verdict in favor of former employee Balduzzi. The city settled for $400,000 to avoid appeals, while Foody accused the decision of undermining law and order and questioned juror respect.
