“William Flanagan’s imperious behavior brought scandal to his department and this county. Today, nearly eight years after his crime, William Flanagan is finally serving his sentence for official misconduct and conspiracy. New York’s highest court unanimously affirmed his conviction for unlawfully hindering the arrest of a friend’s son. No one – including William Flanagan – is above the law and I thank our prosecutors for their outstanding work at trial and in the appellate courts.”
