The State Commission on Judicial Conduct has recommended the removal of Oneida County Supreme Court Justice Erin Gall following an incident outside a high school graduation party. According to the commission’s findings, Justice Gall participated in a “racially offensive, profane, prolonged public diatribe” and asserted her judicial influence to the police during the chaotic event.
The commission’s decision reflects serious concerns about the appropriateness of Justice Gall’s behaviour and the potential damage to the public’s trust in the judiciary. More details on this matter can be found here.
