By Jess Wisloski and Ariella Cohen The Brooklyn Papers Assemblyman Clarence Norman Jr., the boss of Brook- lyn Democratic politics for 14 years as chairman of the Kings County Democratic Committee, was convicted Tuesday of violating election law and falsifying business records. He promptly resigned from both offices. The Sept. 27 guilty verdict marked the end to the first of four corruption cases brought against Norman by his one-time politi- cal ally, District Attorney Charles Hynes, who has said the charges against the party chief stemmed from a probe by his of- fice into judicial corruption and the selling of judgeships. Hynes investigators claimed to have found evidence that Nor- man, a 23-year veteran of the state legislature, mishandled cam- paign contributions, leading to conspiracy and grand larceny charges, which led to the other charges against him. Norman, who represented Flatbush and Crown Heights, faces up to four years imprisonment. Sentencing is scheduled for Nov. 29. Defense attorney Edward Rappaport argued the case did not merit a felony charge, calling it merely an unintentional infrac- tion of campaign law, but prosecutors proved to the jury that Norman had committed a crime when he solicited and concealed $10,000 in contributions from a lobbyist — more than the state limits — in the 2000 and 2002 primaries. Norman hid the contributions in the party’s coffers instead of claiming them on his campaign disclosures, prosecutors said. Norman called it an unwitting mistake.

Norman’s resignation from his political offices, which would have Callan / Tom been enforced under law had he not quit, may signify a sea change for Brooklyn’s Democratic Party, say some experts. “I think removal of Clarence Norman, the re-nomination of See NORMAN on page 5 / Tom Callan / Tom The Brooklyn Papers File The Brooklyn PAPER HOLIDAY… Pizza on parade This week’s Brooklyn Papers are “double issues” — a new Paper The Brooklyn Papers File The Brooklyn will not be published next week, and our offices will be closed Hundreds of coustumed children in homemade outfits — like this slice of pizza from 2003 — will be Former Brooklyn Democratic Party Chairman Assemblyman Clarence Nor- Tuesday, Oct. 4, for the Jewish New Year, and Thursday, Oct. 13, on parade during Saturday’s 39th annual Ragamuffin Parade between 72nd and 92nd streets along man Jr. stumps at the West Indian Day Parade last year. for Yom Kippur.

CHARITY Coat drive As the weather cools and the time nears to swap your summer clothes for warmer threads, a local businessman asks Brooklynites to consider donating their “gently-used” coats to the National Cleaners Association’s “Coats for Kids” drive. From Oct. 6 through Nov. 24, Ken Kinzer (pic- tured), Brooklyn chairman of the “Coats for Kids” campaign, will be col- lecting coats for kids of all ages — even adult- sized coats — at his Bridgestone Cleaners (109 Front St. at Wash-

(718) 834-9350 The Brooklyn Papers’ essential guide to the Borough of Kings October 1/8, 2005 Papers The Brooklyn Kinzer, who has been participating in the program for a decade, stresses that the coats should be in good condition. “We need gently used coats,” he explained. “They shouldn’t be damaged — no rips, tears or broken zippers.” Kinzer’s businesses then clean all donated coats prior to distribution. Kinzer is inviting local organizations — such as synagogues, churches and firehouses — to contact him about either accepting donations or distributing On their toes the cleaned coats.
