ALBANY – An appeals court proposed a remedy Thursday for a dispute that has simmered for more than a year in Albany between a city court judge and a district attorney.
A four-judge panel of the Appellate Division, Third Department, panel suggested in Soares v. Carter, 517191, that it would be appropriate to dismiss the cases against four “Occupy Albany” protesters who were arrested in June 2012. Albany City Court Judge William Carter (See Profile) could dismiss the cases in the interest of justice upon a motion by Albany County District Attorney P. David Soares, the panel declared.
