ALBANY – State Assembly members raised concerns Wednesday about Chief Judge Jonathan Lippman’s plan to allow more public scrutiny and judicial involvement when police officers go before grand juries for injuring or killing civilians.
At about the same time that First Deputy Chief Administrative Judge Lawrence Marks was trying to sell an Assembly public hearing on the Lippman proposal, Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s counsel, Alfonso David, faced even more skeptical questioning from state senators holding their own hearing on criminal justice reforms.
