Here she is, pregnant, pleading for her children, and this judge is talking about her mouth. Yes. In a sexual way.
But the worst thing that was going on in Garson's chambers, according to investigators, were the kickbacks in the form of lucrative work.
All that whining and dining of the judge paid off for Szymanowski, according to investigators, in a big way. If a child needed representation in a custody case, Judge Garson would assign Szymanowski as the law guardian, and the divorcing parents or the taxpayers would foot the bill, often tens of thousands of dollars.
Judge Garson's behavior was especially appalling for Joe Hines, the district attorney in charge. For him, this investigation was personal.
The district attorney thought he had the goods on Semenovsky, but he wanted Judge Garson. He told his staff to offer Semenovsky a deal and get him to flip. They would recommend Semenovsky serve no prison time. It was an offer he couldn't refuse. Semenovsky took the deal. He would wear a wire and go see the judge.
The D.A. bought a $275 box of cigars.
Next, Semenovsky brought cash, $1,000, a thank you for referring a case in another court to him.
Judge Garson calls Szymanowski back to his office, tells him it's too much money, and tries to give it back. Szymanowski insists. In the end, Garson keeps the money.
Attorney Ron Fischetti represented Judge Garson and told us the judge's behavior may look bad, but there is nothing illegal about any of it.
A judge is supposed to take referral fees?
He ended up taking it.
Furthermore, Fischetti says, Garson showed Szymanowski no special treatment in exchange for all those meals.
The judge is on tape telling and coaching Szymanowski on how to win a case in front of him.
He's giving him lessons. He's telling him how to write the memos.
And that's wrong. He says, your client's going to win, but he doesn't deserve it. It sounds as though he's saying, I shouldn't be doing this, but because of our relationship, I'm going to.
But that's what it sounds like. That's not correct. But 48 hours after Judge Garson took that money, detectives picked him up and brought him to a place they call the Gulag.
he still had the thousand dollars in his pocket.
When Judge Garson saw what investigators had on tape, they say he offered to cut a deal. But in the end, it fell apart. And nine months after Frieda Hanimoff went undercover... It took a lot of guts for her to do what she did. The authorities arrested Judge Garson and charged him with receiving a bribe. Accepting all those free lunches could put the judge behind bars for up to seven years.
And when investigators raided Nisam Elman's warehouse, they found a treasure trove of documents.
They arrested Nisam Elman and also retired court clerk Paul Sarnell. and Judge Garson's court officer, Louis Salerno. They were accused of taking bribes to steer cases to Garson's court. This surveillance tape shows Salerno accepting a bribe, a bag full of electronics, right on the courthouse steps.
