Virginia divorce filings reveal 2022 gun incident and mental-health concerns around Justin Fairfax

Court filings reveal that in 2022 former Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax bought a handgun with money meant for his children’s riding lessons and was later found in a park during an apparent mental-health crisis; a Fairfax County judge noted isolation, drinking and a sense of hopelessness, and granted joint legal custody while ordering him to vacate the family home as divorce proceedings continued. The court also scheduled a show-cause hearing, and police said paperwork in the case may have spurred the shooting in which Fairfax killed his estranged wife Cerina Fairfax and himself days after those proceedings.

"NY Judge Removed from Office for Pointing Gun at Black Defendant in Court"

Robert J. Putorti, a judge in Whitehall courts, has been removed from his position after pulling a loaded gun on a black defendant in court in 2015. The New York Court of Appeals unanimously found that Putorti exhibited racial bias and exploited racist stereotypes. He later bragged about the incident and made irrelevant racial remarks. The court determined that the defendant posed no threat, and Putorti's actions were unjustified. Additionally, Putorti violated judicial conduct rules by fundraising on social media. The court's decision highlights that such behavior has no place on the bench.
