Local attorney weighs in on felony charge against Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren, husband

Following a search warrant that was carried out in May at Mayor Lovely Warren’s home, there have been new charges placed against her and her husband, Timothy Granison.

Rochester First reported:

“According to the indictment unsealed Friday by the Monroe County District Attorney’s Office, they are each charged with criminal possession of a firearm, a Class E felony; two counts of endangering the welfare of a child, a Class A misdemeanor; and two counts of failure to lock/secure firearms in a dwelling, a misdemeanor in violation of the Rochester City Code of the State of New York.”

Emily Fusco, an attorney from Trevett Cristo Attorneys, gives her opinion and stated:

“I think this is going to be a situation like any criminal charge where the attorneys are going to have to review the evidence. We have very few facts and very little information at this point, and there will be a lot more that gets discussed and more discovery is gone through. There will obviously be discussions regarding possession and as I indicated this somewhat of a unique type of charge, it only came into existence in 2013 and often we see it is related to whether or not the person registered the firearm.”
