Law & Crime report…
Police body camera footage shows that an apparently “intoxicated” and shirtless New York State Supreme Court Justice Mark Grisanti shoved and threatened a police officer as that officer tried to arrest the judge’s wife on June 22.
Local news previously reported that Grisanti and his wife had gotten into an altercation with neighbors over a parking space. Those neighbors said that they were attacked and had the scars and bruises to prove it.
The neighbors demanded that the justice be brought to justice. That has not happened. Law360 reported Tuesday (and you can watch the videos there) that a Buffalo Police Department spokesman said “the decision not to arrest anyone that evening was based on consultation with the DA’s office [in Erie County].”
Capt. Jeff Rinaldo said Grisanti “did not actually tackle an officer nor did he injure anyone.”
“The ultimate decision not to charge anyone was based on the videos and witness statements in consultation with the DA’s office,” he added.
