Despite no criminal probe, Depew refuses to release video of train hitting judge
Lou Michel Mar 24, 2021
Depew officials are citing two investigations of State Supreme Court Justice John L. Michalski as reasons for the village refusing a Buffalo News appeal to release videos of him being struck by a freight train on Feb. 28.
The Buffalo News has reported that about a week before Michalski was struck by the freight train, federal agents contacted the judge to question him about his relationship with Peter G. Gerace Jr., a Cheektowaga strip club owner who has been indicted on charges of bribing a DEA agent, sex trafficking and narcotics trafficking.
Last week, The News reported that the New York State Commission on Judicial Conduct was investigating allegations that Michalski received $5,000 from Gerace, the owner of Pharaoh's Gentlemen's Club, for officiating at his wedding to Katrina Nigro in 2014,
Alba’s decision comes one day after WIVB aired a portion of a video showing the judge approaching the freight train. The video was shot by a train enthusiast who provided Depew Police with a copy of the video.
In describing the incident, the enthusiast, Alex, whose last name was withheld by WIVB, said it happened over 10 seconds.
“I thought he might have been a rail fan like us, but I had a little bit of concern when he walked out onto the tracks and when he lay on the tracks, I was like, ‘oh, no, this isn’t good,’ ” Alex told the television station.
His video showed the 60-year-old judge jogging across sets of train tracks and, according to Alex, lying on his stomach as the train approaches.

Judge John Michalski takes own life on Tuesday
Yesterday 5:00 PM
Williamsville, N.Y. (WBEN) - WBEN has confirmed that State Supreme Court Judge John Michalski took his own life on Tuesday. He was 61-years-old.
Michalski was the subject of federal and state investigators executing a search warrant at his home back on Thursday, March 24. No arrests or charges were reported at that time.
Michalski had made headlines in recent months after returning from medical leave following injuries he suffered in a train incident. He was returned to the bench this past January.
