ALBANY – A former Court of Appeals judge has accused the lead prosecutor in the New York attorney general’s long-running case against former American International Group boss Maurice “Hank” Greenberg of intentionally deceiving trial and appellate judges.

Joseph Bellacosa, who sat on the Court of Appeals from 1987 to 2000 and also served as dean of St. John’s University School of Law, submitted a letter to the Joint Commission on Public Ethics (JCOPE) last month asking it to hold assistant attorney general David Ellenhorn accountable for allegedly false statements.
