A Long Island attorney has been censured for sending an insulting email to a fellow lawyer whom he accused of having “hijacked” a liability case when she was forewoman of a jury that ruled against his client.

A unanimous panel of the Appellate Division, Second Department, rejected attorney Frank Panetta’s request for, at most, a private sanction, and instead publicly sanctioned the Mineola lawyer for professional misconduct for the email he sent Lauren Curry on April 9, 2012.
