CANANDAIGUA, N.Y. — The New York State Commission on Judicial Conduct has recommended that a judge serving on the Canandaigua Town Court should be removed from office for what it calls racially insensitive conduct.
According to court documents, Walter Jones used the “n-word,” repeatedly while telling a story to coworkers in 2024. The documents said Jones was telling a story about a black man who became friends with his grandfather while working on cotton fields in Texas during the Great Depression.
During a hearing, the commission said Jones denied that he used the word himself, and that he was “quoting his father.”
Documents also said Jones made inappropriate comments during a black defendant’s arraignment days later.
Jones had previously received two letters of caution for other misconduct. The commission said his actions undermined public confidence and warranted removal.
The commission can suspend a judge from office, but the removal of a judge requires a two-thirds vote by the state senate on recommendation from the governor.
Jones’ attorney is appealing.
