In 1991 Mausert successfully moved for the Queensbury, New York, Town Court Judge (Honorary Michael Muller), to have county prosecutor William Montgomery remove a flag pin he was wearing in court, arguing that the wearing of the flag may prejudice the jury.
New York State Supreme Court Justice John Dier overruled the decision of Judge Muller.
(Justice Dier was later admonished by the State"s Commission on Judicial Conduct for unethical conduct in his handling of the case) But that ruling was in turn overturned unanimously by the New York State Appellate Division, 3rd Department, (later affirmed by the highest court, the Court of Appeals), thus validating the position of Kurt Mausert in regard of wearing the flag pin by prosecution.
