Judge replaced
The New York State Court of Appeals recently removed Troy City Court Judge Henry R. Bauer from the bench. Earlier this year the state Commission on Judicial Conduct recommended his removal from the position, citing coercion of guilty pleas, examples of excessive bail being set, and instances where Bauer did not inform defendants of their right to counsel.
In response to the removal, the Troy City Council appointed Joseph Ahearn, the assistant district attorney, to replace Bauer.
In addition to filling the seat immediately, Ahearn was also selected to replace Bauer on the ballot next week. He will run on the Republican, Conservative, and Independence tickets while his challenger Christopher Maier, who lost in his bid to become district attorney last year, will run on the Democratic and Working Families party tickets. | |
