The Office of Court Administration and the Staten Island district attorney are asking an appellate panel to allow an investigation into the operations of the Working Families Party to continue under the direction of a special prosecutor.
In briefs recently submitted to the Appellate Division, Second Department, District Attorney Daniel Donovan Jr. and Deputy Chief Administrative Judge Fern Fisher (See Profile) defend their actions in having attorney Roger Bennett Adler take over the investigation. Adler was appointed special district attorney by Fisher after Donovan requested to be removed from the case.
