A state judge has refused to delay the broadcast of a six-part CBS News "documentary series" about the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office until after the November general election. "Brooklyn D.A." is set to premiere as planned at 10 p.m. on May 28.
Abraham George, one of three Democratic district attorney candidates, complained that the series amounted to free advertising for incumbent Charles Hynes, and thus violated the Election Law (NYLJ, May 14). A lawyer for CBS countered at a May 21 hearing before Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Paul Wooten (See Profile) that the U.S. Supreme Court had "made clear that you can’t get a prospective injunction to speech" (NYLJ, May 22).
