Harold Garrett was a Judge in the New York State Supreme Court.

History[]

In 2005, when he'd been on the bench for 15 years, he came under investigation when his son Ethan was accused of raping and murdering an Iowa girl, Bethany Lunden. (CI: "In the Wee Small Hours (Part I)")

Further investigation by the Major Case Squad revealed that Garrett himself had raped Lunden shortly before her death. He was put on trial and found guilty and is now serving a lengthy sentence. Initially, it was believed that he had murdered the girl, but it was revealed that his wife had done that. Prior to his trial, after he confessed in a moment of anger to the rape, he resigned as a judge and gave up his license to practice law. (CI: "In the Wee Small Hours (Part II)")
