New York's top court has upheld the removal of a Niagara Falls city court judge who jailed 46 people after none would own up to a cell phone that rang during his court session. The state Commission on Judicial Conduct concluded in a November decision that Judge Robert Restaino "snapped" during the March 2005 session and voted 9-1 for his removal. The court Thursday unanimously upheld his removal from the $113,900-a-year post, calling punishing innocent defendants "inexcusable."
