John F. Furey

John F. Furey (April 8, 1906 – December 22, 1973) was an American lawyer and politician from New York.

On March 11, 1941, he was elected to the New York State Assembly (Kings County, 7th D.), to fill the vacancy which resulted from the resignation of William Kirnan.

In November 1946, Furey ran for the State Senate, but was defeated by Republican C. Corey Mills.

In April 1958, Furey was appointed by Mayor Robert F. Wagner, Jr. as a New York City Magistrate.

In 1968, Furey was subject of an inquiry, and his removal from the bench was demanded, because he had allegedly given his tacit approval of disruptive court tactics by Black Panther suspects.
