A public defender who accidentally fired off an anti-Semitic Internet message to members of the Connecticut criminal defense bar will be suspended without pay and must partake in a diversity and tolerance training program, according to Chief Public Defender Gerard Smyth.
Smyth said last week that Thomas Wynne Jr., an assistant public defender in Stamford and a 14-year veteran of the unit, would be suspended for 10 working days without pay beginning on April 22 for referring to the firm of Gulash & Riccio as “penny pinchers” at “Jewlash & Riccio.”
