Tapes Show NY Judge Taking Cash, Saying "I Don't Give a Sh**"

Three videotapes played in open court yesterday showed
Brooklyn Justice Gerald P. Garson accepting a box of cigars and $1,000
from a lawyer who had a case before him. The tapes also painted an ugly
picture of the way Justice Garson handled himself in his chambers. One
of the tapes showed the judge telling attorney Paul Siminovsky, "You
win," as the pair discussed how the lawyer should handle the case.
Justice Garson has been charged with bribery, and the lawyer in the
tapes is a witness against him. [more
