Brooklyn Judge To Step Aside In The Gidone Busch vs The City Case

A Brooklyn federal judge Wednesday agreed to step aside and not preside over the retrial of the lawsuit filed by the family of a hammer-wielding Borough Park man shot dead by police in August 1999.
The judge said he would recuse himself from rehearing the police misconduct lawsuit filed by the family of Gidone Busch against the city out of an "abudance of caution" because he has questioned the credibility of some of the officers involved in the case.
