State Appellate Court dismisses appeal filed by former WHEC meteorologist Jeremy Kappell

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WHEC) — The State Appellate Court unanimously dismissed the appeal filed by former WHEC meteorologist Jeremy Kappell against WHEC.

Thursday’s decision comes after his two lawsuits against WHEC were dismissed by a State Supreme Court Justice last year.

At that time, the judge said Kappell’s "utterance" of a racial slur was "detrimental" to WHEC and "contrary to public morals and conventions."

The State Appellate Court also dismissed Kappell’s appeal aimed at the City of Rochester and Mayor Lovely Warren.
