A judge denied a motion to dismiss felony fraud and campaign finance charges against Mayor Lovely Warren and two co-defendants during a two-hour court session Monday. But state Supreme Court Justice Thomas Leone, a Cayuga County judge who has been assigned the case, left open the possibility of dismissing the cases on other grounds. On Monday, he indicated he’d make future rulings on motions seeking dismissal of the charges either on grounds of selective prosecution or due to flawed evidence presented to the grand jury which indicted the co-defendants. click to enlarge PHOTO BY MAX SCHULTE Mayor Lovely Warren addresses reporters during a City Hall news conference on Sept. 3, 2020.
