A judge sitting in an Integrated Domestic Violence Court will weigh criminal charges against a father who violated a court order restricting contact with his daughter even though the defendant admitted the contact in a previous visitation proceeding before the same judge.
"This Court has made no pre-determination of whether the defendant is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of anything and is able to be fair and impartial," Acting Supreme Court Justice Diane Kiesel (See Profile) in the Bronx wrote in People v. Bornstein, 2012BX060927.
