Attorney Charles J. Assini of E. Greenbush, NY; potty mouth misogynist

 
The state of New York presented Charles J. Assini with a law license in 1972 after he graduated from Albany Law School.

For about twelve years, Charles sat as a part-time Justice of the East Greenbush Town Court. During the same period of time
 
During his tenure on the bench, the New York Judicial Commission charged Assini with a variety of misconduct, some of which is as follows:
  • Made obscene and sexist remarks about another judge
  • Neglected his judicial duties by refusing to deal with more than 100 cases over 8 months
  • Failed to disclose personal conflict of interest to opposing counsel on several occasions
  • Allowed private person to sit at bench and make ex parte recommendations to sentencing of certain defendants
  • Represented his former court clerk in her action against town in which he was the judge
Potty-mouth comments
 
The following comments by Assini are part of an official Commission report. They were made about Judge Catherine Cholakis.
  • Referred to Cholakis as a “fucking cunt” while speaking to councilman Poorman
  • Referred to Cholakis as a “fucking bitch” during a conversation with Poorman
  • Told a court officer Ingoldsby that Democratic Party should run a candidate against that “fucking cunt:
  • When court clerk Amodeo asked Assini if should move a cast to Judge Cholakis’s calendar, he replied that he didn’t want to give anything to that “fucking bitch”
After ruling that Assini wasn’t fit to sit as a judge, the Commission ordered that he be removed from his judicial office.
 
As we speak (ca. March 2012) Assini practices law at 27 Park Drive in East Greenbush, New York.
