I could go on about the travesty that left Daniel Gross - an 86-year-old New York man with no legal connection to Connecticut - locked in a Waterbury nursing home for 10 months, his freedom stolen in the courtroom of Waterbury Probate Judge Thomas Brunnock. Gross's shameful ordeal is a powerful lesson for our state legislators and governor, who are unwilling to demand reform of Connecticut's shoddy probate court system. But Gross is now a free man. I prefer the words of the Superior Court judge who ordered Gross freed at an emotional hearing in Waterbury Wednesday. "A terrible miscarriage of justice has happened here," Judge Joseph Gormley told the courtroom as Brunnock and the lawyers who worked on the old man's behalf hung their heads. What happened was Gross, ailing and living alone on Long Island, came to visit his daughter in Waterbury last summer.
