Panel slaps Albany jurist

Panel slaps Albany jurist - Times Union: "ALBANY -- Albany County Family Court Judge Gerard Maney repeatedly asked police for 'professional courtesy' and flaunted his status for 'favorable treatment' during his alcohol-related driving arrest in Green Island in 2009, a judicial panel revealed Thursday in reprimanding the judge.

Maney, 61, of Menands, also tried to contact Albany County District Attorney David Soares in a failed attempt 'of trying to minimize publicity of his arrest,' according to the state Commission on Judicial Conduct. He did not reach the prosecutor."
