The New York Law Journal - May 19, 2010
A lawyer was sentenced up to six months in jail for contempt in Brooklyn Supreme Court yesterday for disobeying court orders requiring him to surrender $100,000 that he had been holding in escrow. Justice Arthur M. Schack ordered Samuel Racer jailed for failing to turn over the $100,000 that the Manhattan-based attorney had been holding in a failed real estate deal that was the subject of litigation before the judge, said Kali Holloway, a spokeswoman for the Office of Court Administration. In April, Justice Schack found Mr. Racer in contempt for failing to turn over the money and issued an order for his arrest. Yesterday, a sheriff apprehended Mr. Racer and brought him before the judge. When Mr. Racer informed Justice Schack that he needed several days to get the money, the judge sentenced him to jail for civil contempt for six months unless he produced the funds before then, Ms. Holloway said. Mr. Racer was remanded to the custody of the sheriff, and another court date was set for tomorrow at which Mr. Racer will have another opportunity to purge himself of the contempt, Ms. Holloway said.

Wow. How'd this guy get to be a judge in New York. Usually only those who will kiss Shelly Silver and Jon Lippman's behind get to be a judge. And while your kissing butt you protect the corrupt cash-paying lawyers. How did this happen?!

I can't believe that slime ball Tembeckjain hasn't gone after Shack yet
If all the lawyers that play with the escrow accounts were nailed the jails would be full. LOL dirtbags starting with Lippman et al.
I didn't waste Diogenes time with false hope. A quote from Gilbert and Sullivan came to mind, "Things aren't what they seem, skim milk masquerades as cream."
This same judge is named in prior post about forming a union for judges. I knew the answer to, "Is there honor among judges and lawyers?" "Would a judge turn on his lawyer buddies for more money for himself?"
There is plenty of room in Wilkes Barr for these guys, unbelievable adults scam the system and illegally put children in prisons for money from the gov't...time to put the corrupt adults in prison, free gov't money, rent, elec, gas, food...
