State Lawyer Arrested as Probe of Harassing Calls Unfolds

Lawyer arrested as probe of harassing calls unfolds
The Albany Times Union by BRENDAN J. LYONS - October 22, 2010

ALBANY, NY -- An attorney who works for New York state and was formerly a longtime employee of the New York Police Department is in police custody in connection with an investigation into numerous threatening telephone calls that were made to people who live on his street, according to officials familiar with the matter. James J. Hennessey Jr., 58, was taken into custody early Friday in connection with the ongoing investigation by the FBI and Albany detectives, according to a person briefed on the case. State records show Hennessey is an attorney with the Department of Civil Service and his annual salary is listed as $104,080. Hennessey was arraigned in City Court and charged with two counts of aggravated harassment, a felony. Bail is set at $15,000. Hennessey is due back in court on Wednesday. It is unclear whether Hennessey was a police officer for the NYPD. The investigation centers on allegations that Hennessey used an online service to cloak his telephone number and to make it appear the harassing and racially charged telephone calls were coming from other locations, including an office tied to the Ku Klux Klan, sources said. Police records show that Hennessey filed at least two complaints with Albany police several years ago alleging someone had done damage to his home and vehicle. A police spokesman said information about the investigation will be made available later Friday.

  1. This is a good one. Let's see, either he's going to become a number or the matter will disappear. Depends on his juice. Justice has no involvement in matters any more.

  3. Saint Andrew, Patron Saint of Crooked lawyers and Judges, says he's checking to see if this lawyer was current in tithing into Saint Andrew's treasury. Saint Andrew wants to help, but please understand; this must wait till after the election. Saint Andrew can discern some value in the most depraved heart.

  4. Well, well I had an attorney who was against me call my home several times. I took photo's of the caller ID showing his office name and number. This was all submitted to a Westchester County Supreme Court Judge who turned a blind eye towards all this. The attorney walked! How come justice is not the same in Albany as it is in Westchester?

  5. How come there's no article here about Sampson getting caught with his hand in the till?

    How is that NYS AG Cuomo is nowhere to be seen on this and it's the Feds that investigated and got the goods?

    Why is Shelly being charged although his name is on it also?

  13. this lawyer is dumb.....
    payoff the dispatch to ditch reports
    payoff a couple of neighbors to keep making complaint calls
    and terrorize your target.....

    payoff a prominent judge to have his lawyer ditch the case.........

    a lot cheaper than what this guy is doing and make up fake psych paperwork and spew garbage all around town about your target!

  15. just had a chance to read pam carvel's motion to have her case re-assigned from Judge Scheindlin on remand. anyone know the status?

    very interesting motion. the bias alleged against Judge Scheindlin would seem to call into question a certain person's theory on the outcome of Anderson thus far and what was really going on.

    thus far, the reality is that Scheindlin dumped all the "related" cases improperly and what is going on in Carvel by Scheindlin after the first remand does not look good at all.

    maybe it is time to dump Scheindlin altogether from the Bench? is there a US Attorney in the house? an Assistant US Attorney??
