NYT – A State Supreme Court judge in Manhattan dismissed 13 charges on Thursday in a criminal case against the political consultant Hank Morris, but ruled that some of the most serious ones could remain.
Mr. Morris, a Democratic strategist who had been a top adviser to Alan G. Hevesi, the former state comptroller, was charged in 2009 with 90 felonies and misdemeanors, including bribery, grand larceny, money laundering and fraud.
