Claim to Fame: Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice
Why He's the Liberal Scumbag of the Week: for his kid-gloves treatment on repeated felon and drunken driver Zakiyyah Steward that would eventually lead to the death's of innocent young couple Yisroel Levin, 21, and his fiancée, Elisheva Basya Kaplan, 20.

Steward, 25, was indicted in March 2017 for breaking into the cafe where she used to work — Stonefruit Espresso & Kitchen on Bedford Ave. — and stealing money from the safe, authorities said.
She burglarized the trendy coffee shop a stunning four times, allegedly making off with more than $3,000 in cash. The brazen bandit, unable to come up with the cash to post $10,000 bail, remained in jail for eight months. She was facing up to 25 years in prison if convicted. Prosecutors floated Steward an offer: Plead guilty in exchange for two-to-six years behind bars, sources said. But Sciarrino stepped in and instead sent her to a court-mandated alternative to incarceration program.
She was booted from the Fortune Society-run program and twice missed court appearances. Sources said prosecutors requested a bench warrant but Sciarrino refused. Instead, a March 5 hearing ended with the judge giving Steward a second chance to complete the program. She walked out of the courthouse that day, and a month later, hopped into her Hyundai Genesis, setting a deadly sequence of events in motion.
