New York’s highest court has removed an upstate judge from office for pointing a loaded handgun at a Black man during a 2015 court hearing. Justice Robert J. Putorti was a Whitehall Town and Village Court. He repeatedly emphasized the race and stature of the litigant when recounting the episode, sometimes boastfully.
ALBANY, N.Y. — An upstate New York judge who pointed a loaded handgun at a Black man during a 2015 court hearing was removed from office Thursday by the state’s highest court.
In one instance, Putorti described the defendant to another judge as being 6 feet 9 inches tall and “built like a football player.” In reality, the man was only 6 feet and 165 pounds , the decision noted. While the fundraising would not itself warrant a removal, its timing and the fact that it happened while Putorti was under investigation showed “an unwillingness or inability to abide by the Rules of Judicial Conduct,” the decision noted.
