10 . Judge Misconduct Circuit Judge Cynthia Imperato has admitted
to violating the code of conduct for judges by refusing to cooperate with the police!
This was from when they pulled her over for being drunk behind the wheel two years prior.
The judge admitted that she lied to the investigators when she told them that she had only drank
two glasses of wine at a function for lawyers.
In reality, it had been much more than that.
During her new trial for the old DUI, she apologized to the officers who she had originally
tried to defame.
You see, the cops had known she was wasted when they pulled her over, so arrested her
anyway and wounded up in criminal court.
As a judge, she knew all the tricks to get herself off.
She had her lawyers challenge the integrity of the arresting officers, while pleading
not guilty to the DUI charge.
But it came out during the trial that she had tried to persuade the cops not to arrest
her by showing off her judge badge, basically saying she was above the law.
In the end, being a judge did not help her at all.
Her plea deal was denied by the Florida Supreme Court, who put her on trial yet again.
During her second trial, she finally admitted what she had done.
And now, it’s looking like she’ll lose her job as a judge for good!

Conflict of Interest In 2019, Livingston County judge Theresa Brennan
was removed from the bench and given a six-month jail sentence.
Why?
Because she lied on the stand, betraying the public’s trust.
She was brought up that December on perjury charges, as well as charges of misconduct
and tampering with evidence.
If she hadn't accepted a plea agreement with the Michigan Attorney General's office, she
probably would have gotten 15 years in prison.
Instead, she only got six months.
Theresa got into this trouble in the first place because she lied about having a relationship
with a state police trooper from Michigan who had been the lead detective in a murder
case that she was presiding over.
It was a major conflict of interest, especially since she sentenced the defendant to life
in prison.
Because of the conflicting relationship between the trooper and the judge, that criminal is
now getting a new trial and could be released on a technicality!
But her perjury goes even further.
She had actually heard her own divorce case in court and tampered with the evidence.
When getting divorced from her husband, she made a point of being the judge that presided
over her own case, which is a massive conflict of interest.
She naturally won the case, but only by lying under oath.
For all this lying, the judge lost her job and had to hang out with a bunch of criminals
behind bars for six months!

Permanently Removed A judge for New Jersey has been permanently
removed from his duties.
This judge told the victim of an alleged rape that she simply needed to close her legs to
prevent herself from being sexually assaulted.
WOW.
The gross misconduct and disgusting statement saw Superior Court Judge John Russo Jr. banned
from ever being a judge again.
In fact, the decision to remove him from his job was unanimous, especially since he had
repeated acts of misconduct.
The Chief Justice involved in removing John from the bench said that because of what he
did, no reasonable victim would ever be able to have confidence in the court system.
At least, not with him sitting in a position of power.
But let's go back to the court proceedings in which the vulgar statement was made.
John had been presiding over a 2016 case of a woman who wished to have a restraining order
placed against a man whom she accused of forcing her to perform lewd acts on him.
After the woman described her unfortunate encounter with the predator, the judge then
asked if she knew how to stop somebody from doing such a thing.
She responded that she didn't know, and he said to her that the best course of action
would have been to close her legs.
After this shocking case, it came to light that the judge had been un-impartial in several
cases.
One of those cases involved a man he went to highschool with.
He didn't like the guy, so he ruled as harshly as he possibly could against him with obvious
bias.

Kentucky Three-Way Judge Dawn M. Gentry from Kentucky is being
suspended with pay after one of the most outrageous allegations that can be brought up against
anyone.
The allegation says that she participated in a three-way in the courthouse.
Yes, a three-way.
The family court judge had been presiding in Kenton County.
But even before the threesome, she had a pretty poor track record.
She's been accused of coercing her staff members to work on her election campaign.
She's been accused of retaliating against the employees who didn't support her campaign.
She's also gotten in trouble for hiring a man whom she was in an intimate relationship
with even though he had no proper experience.
She also let her lover, who just so happened to be a former pastor, bring his guitar into
the courthouse and sing songs in her office.
And while this doesn't seem like a big deal, the other people in the courthouse weren't
happy about it because they said it disrupted their workday.
But let's go back to the threesome.
That's the real juicy part.
Judge Gentry allegedly had her male lover and a female court employee engage in some
serious NSFW activities in the courtroom behind closed doors.
The judge has denied any wrongdoing, saying it's a bunch of hearsay.
But considering her track record, she’s probably lying.
Still, even though she's been suspended with pay, she's expected to get back on the bench
in just a little while.

Drunk & Disorderly Texas judge Nora Longoria, 49 years old, was
stopped for a measly traffic violation early on a Saturday morning.
But when the officers looked into her car, they realized she was very intoxicated.
I'm talking wasted beyond belief.
And this was on a Saturday morning!
When the officers made her get out of her vehicle, she was so drunk that she swayed
back and forth and could hardly keep her balance.
Her eyes were red and bloodshot, making it pretty obvious she had been out partying all
night.
But here's the hilarious part.
When the officers performed a sobriety test, Nora complained that they were ruining her
life.
She told them that she had worked hard for 25 years to get to where she was and that
they were ruining her career.
But let's get real, she ruined her own career.
The judge failed every sobriety test, got emotional, and refused to let the officers
handcuff her.
She had to be dragged to the police station, where she refused to take a breathalyzer.
Now here's where you're going to get upset.
After her drunken driving arrest, she had the charge dismissed by the District Attorney
and went right back to work.
She even made a motion as a judge to have the incident stricken from her own record.
In the end, she got away with everything and kept her job.
How do you feel knowing that a judge can be this ridiculous and break this many crimes
without any kind of punishment?
Do you think judge Nora Longoria should be in jail – or up on a bench deciding whether
other people should go to jail?

Dragged from the Courtroom A former judge had to be dragged out of a
courtroom in Ohio by the police after refusing to go quietly!
Tracie Hunter was convicted in court of using her powerful position as a judge to keep her
brother from being fired.
According to ABC News, Judge Hunter had gotten a little too involved with an incident involving
her brother and his government job.
Her brother was to face disciplinary measures because of wrongdoing on his part, and she
shared confidential documents with him to help his case.
When word of what she had done got out, the judge was in serious trouble.
She herself then had to go to court, where another judge sentenced her to spend six months
in jail for unlawful interest in a public contract.
But when she heard that she was going to jail, she lost her mind.
The deputies came to take her away to the holding cells beneath the courthouse, but
she would not go with them.
The disgraced judge then pulled the classic “deadweight” trick.
She went completely limp, refusing to budge.
The officers had to drag her by the arms out of the courtroom as she went stiff as a board,
not speaking and staring off into the distance in complete disbelief of what was happening.
But to be fair, that's what happens when you break the law.
Tracie Hunter learned the hard way that if you're going to abuse your power, you might
just go to jail.

Escaping ICE Newton District Court judge Shelley M. Richmond
Joseph was accused of helping an illegal immigrant flee from Immigration and Customs Enforcement
agents who were waiting to take him into custody.
The judge, along with a court officer named Wesley MacGregor, allowed the illegal immigrant
to slip through a backdoor, thereby eluding the ICE agent who was there to take the immigrant
into custody.
He has been identified as Oscar Manuel Peguero, from the Dominican Republic.
He had already been deported twice and had a fugitive warrant for drunk driving in Pennsylvania.
He was brought into the courtroom to be arraigned on drug charges, yet the judge and her accomplice
let him slip out the back door.
If you’re wondering why the judge would go through so much trouble, it's because she
wanted Oscar to at least get free of his fugitive charges before ICE got ahold of him.
If he was able to evade immigration officers until he was cleared of the drug charges,
things would have been a lot better for him.
So, doing exactly what her conscience told her to, she let him out the back door.
But in the end, it didn't go very well for anyone.
Oscar was captured a month later and the judge has been brought up on charges of obstruction
of justice.

Domestic Battery A judge in Las Vegas was arrested by the police
after being suspected of domestic battery.
According to Fox News, Judge Stefany Miley got into an argument with her son after he
drove through a yellow light.
She was so angry at the kid that she reached over and slapped him across the face, so hard
that his lip busted open.
And she didn't stop there.
With her 8-year-old son in the back seat, Stefany Miley continued to unload on her older
son in the driver’s seat.
She just kept hitting him for over 2 minutes.
By the time the officers arrived at the parked car in the middle of the street, the judge’s
son was terribly beaten.
He had blood all over his face, the left side of his head was red and swollen, and the kid
in the back seat was screaming.
Clearly, this woman is not a very good person.
Who does that to their own son in the middle of the street!
After the incident, even though Stefany Miley was charged with domestic battery, she was
never prosecuted.
She walked away free and to this day is still a judge in Nevada.
2.
Abuse of Power A judge from Jefferson County has been suspended
after allegations of power abuse.
Circuit Judge Tracie Todd has been temporarily removed from her duties.
It happened after a complaint was filed against her by the Judicial Inquiry Commission, with
the report being over 100 pages.
The complaint says that from between 2014 and 2018, the judge acted with total and unignorable
authority.
For example, she ruled in 2016 that imposing the death penalty was unconstitutional.
Because of this ruling, at least four men charged in a series of murders escaped the
death penalty.
While this may seem like a good thing, what actually happened is that the judge used her
power to pick and choose rules that she preferred.
Because she was a huge opposer of the death penalty, she did everything in her power to
prevent it from being enacted.
Anything that she believed wasn’t right, she simply tried to change.
Judges are absolutely not allowed to do this.
They are not supposed to pick and choose what laws they enforce based on their own personal
feelings.
And as another example, Tracie Todd once asked a man on trial for murder if he had donated
money to the political campaign of an old judge who had once been her opponent.
In other words, she was trying to determine his sentence based on his political standings.

The Profiled Judge The Vancouver police found themselves in a
pickle of a situation after they racially profiled the wrong man.
It happened when a group of police officers approached retired Judge Selwyn Romilly on
the street and arrested him for absolutely no reason.
The officers told the judge that he matched the description of a suspect that they were
trying to apprehend.
The judge at the time was in his 80s, but the suspect had been described as in his 40s.
The only thing they had in common was that they were both dark skinned.
Judge Selwyn Romilly happened to be the first black person ever put into the Supreme Court
in British Columbia, Canada.
He called the incident extremely embarrassing, going on to say that he hopes it doesn't happen
again and that the police learn from their mistakes.
The biggest issue here, according to some, has to do with the crime of the suspects the
police were looking for.
They had received reports early in the morning that a man was assaulting strangers, walking
up and beating them in the street.
The retired judge, being in his 80s, did not look anything like a violent maniac who would
be assaulting strangers.
He looked like an ordinary senior enjoying his early morning – and yet he was arrested
even before the police could figure out who he was.
What do you think about all these misbehaving judges?
