A group of attorneys rallied in support of Judge Michael Town at noon today in front of Circuit Court on Punchbowl St.

Town was investigated as part of a 2004 corruption case concerning the racketeering and murder trial of Ethan "Malu" Motta and Rodney Joseph Jr.

Town was never charged with a crime, and prosecution and defense lawyers said they were shocked that such an investigation was ever undertaken.
