Brooklyn Courthouse Scandal Prosecutions Under Way
The first of the criminal trials based on the alleged corruption uncovered last year in Brooklyn matrimonial court began Aug. 17 with the prosecution of a court officer and of Judge Gerald P. Garson's former clerk. The criminal case against Garson, who is accused of accepting bribes from an attorney to steer cases to him, is expected to go to trial next year. There will be a delay in Garson's case's commencement because the prosecution will probably appeal dismissal of six of the seven counts brought against him, including the charge of fixing case outcomes.
