Judge Erin P. Gall resigns after threatening to shoot black teenagers at party in wild footage

A senior judge in New York is resigning after she was caught on police body camera having an epic racial meltdown as a teen graduation party went out of control.

Judge Erin P. Gall threatened to shoot black partygoers, told police they were under her jurisdiction and praised her son for “kicking the s*** out” of another guest in what a disciplinary panel called the most shocking case in forty year mentioned.

“I’m a goddamn judge and I’m telling you to get off that goddamn building,” the New York State Supreme Court justice bellowed during her 90-minute tirade.

‘That’s how I roll. That’s how Mrs. G rolls. That’s how Judge Gall rolls. We’re cleaning this place up.’

She had planned to challenge her suspension in the appeals court, but filed a motion through her attorney Wednesday to announce she was quitting.

“The decision to no longer pursue a review and give up hope of remaining on the bench has been extremely difficult,” she said.

The motion states that she has officially resigned effective December 15, one year after the end of her fourteen-year term.

Gall, a Republican, has no plans to serve on the court again, according to the Republican New York Times.

The judge also asked the court to essentially leave her alone after her dismissal to avoid further investigation and outrage against herself and her family.

“I certainly don’t think it’s fair to characterize my responses as racially motivated and to stigmatize me with that finding based on the facts of the case,” she wrote, adding that she had received several death threats and had to continually hire security officers.

“It appears she has finally conceded that her reprehensible conduct would result in her formal removal from office, which under the New York Constitution would prevent her from ever returning to court,” said Robert H. Tembeckjian, administrator of the judicial commission.

Gall, 53, had gone to the friend’s house party in New Hartford with her husband and their three teenage children in July 2022.

Fights broke out when party crashers arrived around 11:30 p.m. and police were called an hour later as the situation deteriorated.

Officers from the New Hartford Police Department attempted to evacuate the premises, but four black teenagers who arrived after being invited by a guest to the party claimed they were stranded after losing their car keys in the chaos.

Dozens of teenagers were still wandering around, but Judge Gall turned her anger on the four as police allowed them to search for their keys along the road.

“You have to go!” she shouted. “You’re not going to find the keys, you’re going to have to call an Uber and leave the premises.

‘No. you’re done. Finished. Finished. Get off the property, and that’s Judge Gall. I’m a goddamn judge and I’m telling you to get off that goddamn property.’

The police body camera captured an officer trying to reason with the irate law enforcement and allowing his colleagues to help the stranded guests find their keys.

“Ma’am,” he began.

“It’s ‘Judge,'” she shot back, before breaking away to yell at one of the guests.

“I don’t care,” she shouted. “You tell your mother that you were in a building you weren’t supposed to be in.”

“You have to tell them to leave the area,” she ordered, turning back to the officer.

“They have nowhere to go,” he noted.

“I don’t care, they can call an Uber, they’re not going to find it here now, I mean, Jesus, it’s like finding a needle in a haystack,” she replied.

“If I have to clean it up, I will. They won’t find the keys, but they will tomorrow.’

“Guys please stop looking for keys,” she told the officer. “I don’t care about this kid’s damn keys.”

“I’m so relaxed,” he replied. “It’s not even your house, just relax.”

“It’s my jurisdiction, though,” she told him.

“Okay,” he replied, stifling a giggle.

‘Yes! Yes, that’s it! Don’t laugh!’ she replied. “What’s your name?”

“Capelli,” he replied.

“I don’t care, drag him, give him a ticket, he shouldn’t be there,” she shouted.

“You know what, you’re not going to find your mother’s keys, you’re going to have to ask her for a second set, brother,” she taunted.

She told police that her son and husband had both been attacked, but that her son “threw a punch when he was hit.”

“I taught my son to kick the hell out of whoever hits him first,” she explained.

Gall later told investigators that she had not been drinking as she went back and forth between cajoling the police officers and issuing orders.

“I would take anyone down for you,” she told them at one point. ‘You know that. I’m on your side.’

And she sneered at the black teens, telling the officers that they “don’t look that smart,” and “they didn’t go to business school, that’s for sure.”

When an officer pointed out that the unwanted guests might return later to resume their search if they were forced to leave, she said she would call the police.

“If they do, they will be arrested or shot on the premises,” she predicted.

“Because if they trespass, you can shoot them on the field. I will shoot them on the premises.’

The Republican judge was elected to the state Supreme Court in 2011 and served her term in the Fifth Judicial District.

She was suspended pending an appeal after the state Commission on Judicial Conduct ruled that her “wide range of misconduct seriously undermined public confidence.”

“The judge’s behavior in this case is as shocking as anything I have seen in my 40 years of upholding judicial ethics,” Tembeckjian said in July.

Her lawyer Robert Julian said Gall admitted making the comments but was in a “state of fear, dismay, frustration and exhaustion” at the time.

She was allowed to continue drawing her $232,600 salary during the investigation.
