The Nassau County District Attorney’s Office has decried what it characterizes as a judge’s unfounded accusation in a written opinion that prosecutors had improperly manipulated a grand jury, allegations that a prosecutor said would “besmirch” his reputation.

Assistant District Attorney Michael Bushwack on Wednesday moved to reargue an Aug. 23 decision by Acting Supreme Court Justice George Peck in People v. Draper, Indictment No. 894N-11, dismissing two counts of criminally negligent homicide and one count of third-degree criminally negligent assault against upstate trucker Ryan Draper.
