ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WHEC) — An email hit our in-box Friday morning that sent a shockwave through the entire legal system in Rochester. 
The email said the highest-ranking judge in our area is resigning his leadership post because of a nearly 33-year-old photo of him at a Halloween party that "has been circulated." 
The judge is Craig Doran. As the administrative judge, he supervises every county, family, and Supreme Court judge in our eight-county region and hears cases.            
"It has come to my attention that a photograph taken of me at a Halloween party in 1988 in which I appear as a well-known public figure of color has been circulated," Doran's statement begins. "I am deeply sorry for my decision to appear in this manner. I did not comprehend at the time the hurtful nature of my actions. I know now that an act of this nature is considered to be racist."
