The New York Post by LAURA ITALIANO - March 16, 2010
A Manhattan judge is at the defendant's table today, as jury selection begins in her campaign fraud case. Testimony is expected to begin as soon as tomorrow. Surrogate Court Judge Nora Anderson is charged with sneaking $250,000 in illegal contributions into her 2008 primary campaign coffers. "I will tell you this," Anderson said, when reached on the eve of jury selection yesterday. "These were forms which show who contributed what -- how much to my campaign. The ethical rules forbade me to see those forms," she said. "I did not see them. I did not sign them. I did not file them. I have no idea what they say. Intent is always an element of a crime -- and the people have to prove intent." Anderson won the November 2008 election, was indicted the next month, and was sworn in the month after as one of Manhattan's only two Surrogate Court judges -- the judges who preside over the estates of the dead. But she was suspended immediately, with pay, by the state Court of Appeals pending the outcome of her case. "I hope that I am vindicated," she said. "That I can reaffirm my promises to the voters and go to work." The trial is expected to take about three weeks.

What a lightweight. This two-time judge should have gone to the Tony Scarpino School of Crime. You gotta steel big money, right Tony?
Is she corrupt or a victim?
Also, When is Tony getting indicted?
you never know who is setting u who in these Capers of the NYS Court System.......
may we the People please have a proposition-Proper Ethics Reform bills, our jails are not large enough for those criminals with initials after their names, they will be forever setting each other up ...disgusting!
The money came from her old boss, Seth Rubenstein,and she doesn't know where it came from.....
They are all funneling on campaign contributions and making up fake organizations companies, in order to keep up with criminals you have to become one......
Why isn't this front page to make Campaign Reform an issue?
I guess we know why!
Nora Anderson wants the Judgeship badly, because of the power on the control of money and attorneys. They will kill for this prize.
maybe other people should go to this trial i am sure they will not publish the good stuff in the regular paper
