Flipping Idiot
A judge who made a woman pull down her pants in court and decided a child-visitation dispute with a coin toss was removed from the bench yesterday.
Hat-Tip to Charon QC.
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
Weird some of these US judges - none so weird as the penis pump judge who got four years though. :-)
ReplyDeleteJulie, how do you know about things like that?
ReplyDeleteI once flipped a coin with a brief over whether or not his client should get bail. He won, but declined to claim his prize on the basis that Mr Fiddler was safer where he was (what with the baying crowd outside). Still, it brightened the day....
ReplyDeleteJames - I know everything. :-) No, that likely was picked up from Romenesko 'Obscure Store and Reading Room' website - full of the latest (obscure) bits of scandal from the USA.
