Gothamist: Judge in Astor Trial Busted for Abusing Parking Placard
Reported by uncivil on Mon, Jan 04 2010
The Supreme Court Justice who sentenced Anthony Marshall to prison for stealing his mother Brook Astor's fortune has been caught illegally using a parking placard issued by the NYPD. The Post, which, like the Daily News, loves busting parking placard abusers, caught Justice A. Kirke Bartley routinely parking his SUV at expired parking meters around his Upper East Side neighborhood. Judges who request the placards are not allowed to use them while they're off duty, but Bartley's ride was observed parked at an expired one-hour meter three times last week, without a single ticket. Confronted by the tabloid, the judge confessed—but refused to pay his debt to society.
