John Parrinello, the Monroe County attorney who was kicked out of a basketball game at Genesee Community College on Dec. 12, was back at the scene of the alleged crime Thursday night.
Parrinello who reportedly has a long history of supporting women's basketball at Monroe Community College, and who has a son who now coaches the team, was in the stands just prior to the start of a game between MCC and GCC.
A school official said until Parrinello is allowed on campus pending the outcome of the legal case that led to his arrest.
The MCC district trustee was originally charged with criminal trespass, 3rd, for allegedly refusing to leave the gym after reportedly mouthing off to a ref during an MCC game.
The charges against Parrinello were reduced this week to a violation of trespass and two counts of disorderly conduct.
After his appearance in Batavia Town Court where he entered a not guilty plea, Parrinello said, "I'm presumed to be innocent. They have to prove me guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, which they'll never do."

Nothing against lawyers,(some
Nothing against lawyers,(some of my best friends are lawyers, wink/wink) But this guy, I would like to see something very bad happen to him. He is in line for a good portion of "HUMBLE PIE" Every picture I have seen of him, he has been standing up...I finally figured out why. It has to be tough to sit, when you have a set of onions as big as his!
I have nothing against
I have nothing against lawyers either, and some of my friends are lawyers also. But...... this guy is way out of bounds(no pun intented). I am a referee myself and because of people like him I chose to only referee at the modified/freshman levels, where the fans are much more respectful towards the ref's. He comes across as the type of person that thinks he knows it all, is never wrong, and is above the law. I hope he gets what he deserves.
