In response to Jessika Lamparillo's charge that her husband left bullets and an unloaded gun on the kitchen table, allowed their five-year-old kid to play with the weapon, and later showed the youngster how to load the it, the Suffolk County Family Court issued an "order of protection" against Michael Lamparillo based on "reckless endangerment."
When Michael challenged that order, the Appellate Division, Second Department, deferred to the trial court's credibility determinations and was of the view Jessika's testimony sufficiently established the offense and supported the outcome.
No jumping the gun there.
