Prolonged Special Prosecution in Appellate Courts
The governor notes the special prosecutor appeared before the Appellate Division eight times with wins in all. Four cases reached the Court of Appeals, two victories for the prosecution including a jury legality ruling, two losses on case tests. The probe’s Albany transfers, tax issues, and jury lists raise impartiality concerns. Costs near $200,000, with tax authorities claiming far more in unpaid state taxes. Indictments for tax nonpayment and voluntary restitution marked the investigation, while legal battles slowed work but set precedents on criminal procedure. Mayor LaGuardia criticized a Court of Appeals ruling clearing Cassidy on a conspiracy count tied to testimony before the grand jury.
