- A Maricopa County Superior Court judge and her staff mocked and ridiculed people during hearings and trials by routinely emailing each other cruel and obscene statements, jokes, and memes. The conduct happened in major felony cases, including high-profile capital murders. Emails and internal records obtained by ABC15 show no one was off-limits: Defendants, their families, jurors, witnesses, attorneys, even other court employees, and top court officials.
This is just part one of Dave Biscobing's "Dishonorable" series. For the full investigation and updates since this story aired click here: www.abc15.com/news/local-news...

During my dads murder trial, while a graphic picture of the gunshot wound to his head was displayed on a projector, the presiding judge broke out into a bout of laughter after looking at something one of his assistants showed him. When I got upset and asked what was so funny, the bailiff told me to sit down and be quiet, the judge continued to converse with his assistant and chuckle. I never felt so mad and hopeless, and I'm supposed to call him your honor? Rise when he enters the courtroom? Not a chance. His name is John Knodell, Grant County wa superior Court, and he lost all respect from me that day
Fkn love u. Preach it. What’s right is right. And crap like that should never be forgotten. Forgiveness can lighten the soul, but only a fool forgets.🤔 Sorry about your father, and sorry to learn of such a shitbag judge in ANY position of power. Bastard judge. Be well. ✌️
💚💜
So sorry to hear about your father and the imbecile judge presiding over the trial which must have been so painful for you all. The disrespect you received was immature ...abhorrent and unforgivable. These are the lunatics as you say, we are supposed to show respect.
The judge in this report has a cold demeanour about her. I wouldn't trust her around children.
You are in my thoughts.
Sorry for you loss and our systems disrespect.
I am so sorry 😢
You wonder why judges forbid cameras in the courtroom or sometimes even in the building.
Shouldn't give that kind of unbridled power
Nothing should be hidden from the public!
There are cameras in most courtrooms. It’s news cameras or programs like COURT-TV that most of them don’t like in their courtroom. Because they show everyone the true behavior of people that supposed to be upholding the law. If you’ve ever go into a courtroom just look up and you’ll see those little black covers over the cameras. Just like the ones in a department stores.
Randolph county North Carolina couple hundred people too many had court one day. the judge ordered the door locked not let anyone else in that couldn’t find a seat and then issued a warrant for everyone in the hallway.
It makes you really think that the public courts aren't very public. The judge's DA's and law enforcement are out of control and need to be culled.
But they are, and they are INTOXICATED with it.
I dated a judge for a few months from my hometown and we would go out in the evenings and he would drink ALOT and then drive. He had NO fear of driving under the influence as he knew there would be no repercussions. Needless to say, I lost all respect for him and never went out with him again. Some judges and prosecutors are corrupt and need to lose their positions.
Why I'd never date a cop, or a doctor for that matter. Some professions attract sociopaths who are dangerous especially when drunk on power.
Did you report him? No,you didn't. You allowed this loser to keep breaking the law, putting others' families' lives in danger. Bad people only get away with it because good people do nothing.
@@AlwaysFallingFromTheRight... Then they are no longer the good people themselves. If you allow bad people to get away with what they done, then you're just as bad as them.
You got off lucky. I worked with a guy whose mom dumped a cop she had been dating. Thereafter, their whole family was subjected to abuse and harassment by many members of the small-town Police force. NEVER date anyone who works for Law Enforcement.
@@bwilliams463 plenty of true crime stories like that. Also cops being serial killers and all sorts of abusers, harassers and criminals and they cover their own tracks so they get away with a lot.
There's a lot more wrong with the US justice system than people sending each other crude jokes.
Much more malfeasance went down than some memes!!
The judge looks like Wednesday Adams ate Pugsly. She has no right to criticize ANYONE.
Yes, yes a thousand times yes there exactly who she looks like🤣🤣🤣🤣
All that was years ago...keep living and you will gain weight too
@Killingdance agreed. But I won't lose any sleep over it. This woman deserves the shameful rebukes.

Exactly, well said. she is not of the mind required to be a Judge. 🤮
They are all the same
I think that she is a human being who has had enough.
She should be an inmate.

@@daonlyrainsolo You know.
Ridiculous. Erin Otis should never be a judge again nor should she be a prosecutor.
She should be sentenced to a life time of janitorial service, or food service, so that she learns what it is like to serve others, and perhaps develop a tiny bit of empathy for society.
She should be brought up on FEDERAL charges of HATE CRIMES AGAINST……EVERYONE.
She needs a few dirt naps from her victims. I'd pay PPV money to watch it.
As long as she keeps the streets clean from criminals, I don't care how she acts.
A judge should be unbiased, fair and just, this woman was judging everyone on everything including their appearance. She should never be a judge again, I honestly don't think she should ever step inside a court room again.
Dear Ms Thank you for coming forth! Who knows how many others have this same Conduct! DISGUSTING & DESPICABLE
It's astonishing that some people never grow out of their adolescence. I expect more maturity from a judge.
Her “peers” ruled that she did nothing wrong.
This is why we need more independent and public oversight.
Unfortunately we live in a world of privilege and that won’t happen.
It should probably be pointed out that this _is_ in Maricopa County, after all--the attempt to be as backwards as the South while located in the West, sponsored and publicized for so long by old pardoned-convict Sheriff Joe, endlessly re-elected. It is certainly not somewhere that ethics and accountability to wider standards will be regarded without federal compulsion.
We live in they're privilege
US Bureaucracy! Disgrace
People have no clue. I'd guess the number of evil dysfunctional inept judges is well over half.
@@XxByePolarxX
We live in there privilege. It's right there!

Absolutely.
I figure she has dirt on a few of them
This reminds me of the surgeon who got caught mocking his patient under anesthesia. Professionalism matters, people.
That would destroy me. Past trauma and abuse as a child by medical personnel has made it a very long and painful journey to making myself seek medical attention for serious issues, and then for regular health, I’m in a good place now 20 years later, but I’ve only just arrived, if I found out this happened to me, it would be irreparable, 20 years of healing down the toilet, but this time, the lid would be glued shut.
@@toyyatoy I’m so sorry you went through this. ❤
Yeah well what are you gonna do about it Dakota?! No one is allowed behind the scenes of the judicial system.
There's one Dr. Boutte who danced with a piece of incised flesh, rapping and making music videos with the patient on the table. Look it up, it's on TH-cam (the flesh obviously blurred).
@@kokoskokso ugh
That judge should be banned from any legal jurisdiction period. How vile and unethical can one be.
Anyone having to appear in front of this judge should disqualify her immediately.
I’m sure there’s plenty of judges like this all over the country. A young assistant district attorney once told me that they are taught in law school “Be kind to your lesser achieving classmates for they will be the judges deciding your cases”!
This just exposes the mindset of people with no morals or standards and too much power.
Unfortunately it's true.
They all have skeletons. Weak American pansies allow all of this
It's true
I had a da tell me he will have an expert come in an say whatever the da wanted him to say. I said that’s not an expert then. But in small towns the judges and da do whatever they want.
As I’ve stated numerous times, a respectable job title doesn’t make one a good person!!!! Yet people refuse to stop putting other human beings on pedestals!!!
Yep, just like all these idiots who put service members on a pedestal just because they serve in the military. 🙄
Some are just garbage human beings.
All facts
@@SgtMars I've served with some down right despicable people.
True facts
It seems, many times, that the most "respectable" tends to also be the most corrupt.
You can see why people don’t come forward here this brave employee of many year finally becomes brave enough to stand up and said this isn’t right and nothing is done about it. Why take a chance on even coming forward? I’m so proud that she took this amazing responsibility to show how one judge behaved and even though nothing has been done she did the right thing. Now she’s an high paying attorney wow way to be held accountable. I feel bad for anyone who has her as the prosecutor on their very important cases.
It's the "judge's courtroom." Idc what the circumstances are, she's responsible.
If the judge was proven guilty, then they would have to question every judgment she made. What a Justice system.
They already went through her record. That was part of the investigation.
ALL THE PROOF SHE'S GUILTY N SOME STAFF
That's probably why they just let it go. It would cost the county/state too much money to reopen so many cases. That and the just simply don't care. There is little justice in the so called "Justice" system.
The birthday party one was crazy
@Politically incorrect You are 100% correct! I don't see how this issue can ever be made right though, as long as they can hide their actions and cover up what they are doing, same with cops. The entire system is a broken mess with no way to fix it.
This type of stuff goes on EVERYWHERE. An overhaul is LONG overdue
Right and they just broadcasting it 🙄...this been goin on for decades.
If it goes on everywhere than you must have a lot of names. Let’s see them.
There is no excuse for misogyny.
true..but watch who you involve..
@@tonypeterson5156 did you watch the video. It says in the beginning. The public will never know about alot of cases as this one
She looks more like "Elvira" than a judge. 😂
Ohhh My God 💔⚖️ All of Them Need Investigated
Wow she put a lot on the line to speak out. Good for her. Glad this story is being told.
RESPECT to her for telling the Truth .
Yup but a disgrace and disgusting thing by the investigation system. They keep allowing this to happen. By the way that judge looks like a gothic disaster and not in a good way
Speaking and hopefully something will come out of this. There’s always a cover up for the legal elite. God have your way
Especially in Arizona. A VERY corrupt state of cops and judges. I purposely didn't capitalize cops and judges.
She complained about coworkers sharing memes, despite her supervisor not having a problem with it; it never went anywhere because this is protected first amendment activity. If clerk Karen has a problem with the first amendment, she needs to find another job; this is protected activity and the the state had actually done anything to punish them for exercising their first amendment rights, it they could have been sued for civil rights violations in federal court.
She's just an example of a judge getting caught. This is more common than the public realizes.
We all know that we are all humans and we make mistakes. None of us are perfect. But you would think upholding that type of position. You would be more humble and thoughtful of others?
Just like when police get caught for what their body cam captures?
Not because one of those cops had remorse and told on themselves because they had a conscience?? It’s usually someone else tells on you. And that is how you get caught.
That’s a fact! I’m currently trying to put a spotlight on Fayette County’s family court. It’s shameful and legit innocent people suffer because sometimes with power comes corruption. These type of people should be watched closely due to having that much power.
@markulis to whom are you asking?
@markUlis I live in a totally different state unfortunately this is true! The proof is that they are appointed by the people for the people. That is not always the case. I believe in law in order! It’s sad that there are no checks and balances when it comes to the court system! Watch the video and see how she’s not even mentioned in her own case. Rules for the and not for me!!! Good day sir!
So what she sent a meme big deal next you people will get upset if she farts
I don't even live in Arizona but I'm following this channel. I have so much respect.
Who on earth would hire her anyway???!!!! How disgusting getting her out of accountability!!! Unreal 🤦♀️
Power corrupts people. That's why judges should be reviewed every year and not retain employees for more than that time.
Yes and every judge that released a violent criminal who went on to harm someone should be made to re-evaluate the decision and address the victims and the community.
Totally agree
@@josh6149 That's a good idea
🙌🏽!
Exactly! I know I’d be fired immediately if I pull some bullshit like that! The big boss would’ve chewed me out for it yoo
Boy, this doesn’t inspire ANY confidence in our so called “Justice System “
This judge’s blatant disregard for professionalism and the feelings of the targeted individuals is extremely disturbing. 😢
What’s worse IMO is that the agency that was supposed to be investigating the matter dismissed the case and the judge, nor the bailiff were disciplined. That agency or whatever is called needs to be investigated by an outside ethics board.
@@alvaroakatico9188 They couldn't find any cases that her demeanor impacted the results. The only questionable contact is when talking to a defendant about his music. There was probably a review of the transcript and results.
They need to hold these liberal DAs n judges who let out criminals time n time again without charges or an Ibond
Many of us have never had full confidence in the justice system. This has been complained about for many years from many people
Yeah. They should release the family that killed their 10 year old child because the judge and bailiff have a sense of humor some people don’t agree with. Is everyone a cry baby today?
Erin Otis is a liar and embarrassment, yet she shows you how in certain professions they "look out" for one another. With court video being time stamped it should be very easy to confirm poor Otis's "innocence", yet here we are. Hate when bullies land up in power and get rewarded for being less than civilized.

They dismissed the complaint... because she left the bench. That is the only thing that actually makes any sense whatsoever. However.... Oversight committees that incorporate people that are "friends" with the party investigated have a conflict of interest and those investigations should be performed by individuals with no skin in the game.
You're right because they're àll in bed with each other! It would be like snitching on a best friend or a favorite lover!
She left and didn’t have to deal with it
Leaving the bench shouldn't matter.. She was VERY Unethical in her position, should have to pay for that..not given a job deciding the future of people's lives. DIS-HONOURABLE.
I don't disagree... however, it's hard to take someones judge job from them, if they already did it to themselves.
I would be concerned about her ability to judge appropriately. Medical check on mental status and drug, alcohol use. Review her cases fully would be a good idea. Look into how she earned her credentials and position. Something is very off.
Truly systemic.
Update: she's been placed on leave, and emails to her official address are getting bounced back. she's also not listed in the employee directory. Next up should be: a review of every single one of her cases. Then, a look into whether criminal charges are warranted. See how she lives being on the other side looking at jail time.
Tell put her on leave until people forget...then business as usual. Nothing will happen.
street carp yep these people will never pay for crimes if we did as citizens would get lots of time for.
@@jeffgully6385 while extremely inappropriate and immoral, I don't think any of this would rise to the level of a crime. Unless there is something like HIPAA for judicial proceedings and they disclosed someone's private information. What should happen is for her to not be allowed to work in a law profession anymore. That is really the best punishment because it takes away her high income potential, shames her, and keeps her from doing this in another similar position. Makes all those years of schooling worthless.

Not the first, won't be the last and there are many more just like her.
Btw, a Judge is more axiomatically more powerful than a prosecutor.
@@therznocryinginbaseball1025 Most of us know that, anything other than a full disbarment is basically rewarding bad behavior. She shouldn't be in a position to prosecute anyone with that horrendous behavior.
I used to go to Small Claims Court when a club member did not pay their membership fees and we had to sue them. The judge I had for these cases was always the same very old, grey haired man with the same staff working around him. Very often some of these cases had lawyers fighting for their clients and I got to watch these cases while I was waiting for my turn. You're not going to believe this, but the judge in this courtroom would regularly fall asleep while cases were being presented in front of him. It usually took a member of his staff a while to notice this and the judge would then be nudged awake. This happened several times, and nobody, not even any of the lawyers present, would say anything. Large parts of their evidence, or summations had obviously not been heard by the sleeping judge, yet everybody carried on like he had not been sleeping. I went to that courtroom for more than ten years and continued to watch this judge fall asleep while cases were being presented in front of him. Eventually he was replaced by a younger judge when the entire court moved to another building. I can only assume that someone complained about this judge falling asleep on the job, but that this complaint was simply ignored. Judges seem to be able to get away with a lot before anything happens to them. They are treated like gods and very often not punished. The judge in your story is the total opposite of what a judge is supposed to be all about and a really nasty piece of work.
2024… this is no longer uncommon. There are some truly horrific judges among us. The unprofessionalism is stunning with some of these judges and their minions.
If she was doing things like this during her courtroom, just imagine what kind of person she is outside of court....WOW..
Exactly. Got a weird head that thing!!
Yeah she's vulgar and immature
ERIN OTIS looks exactly what she is, with her nasty, thin, dyed black hair and craggy face - a middle aged 'mean girl', the type who bullied other kids at school. And she found herself a privileged career where she could do it for a living!
I'm disgusted Otis bitched about other women's heavy periods and cellulite. Who the hell does she think she is? Nothing viler than a female misogynist. And that snake was allowed to slither off the judge's platform and into a prestigious, well paid job as a prosecutor? Disgraceful! Where is the accountability? Aren't these people public servants?
Erin Otis brought the entire legal profession into disrepute, she must not be allowed to continue to practise law - PERIOD! Respect to the professional who was courageous and principled enough to whistle blow, knowing the system would protect her. I hope this excellent journalism will succeed where the system shamefully failed, and get this ghastly woman thrown out of the legal profession and unable to practise law ever again.
Actually, she probably puts that fake humble act when she was not in court because she has no power elsewhere. People like her relish any power & are not comfortable where the playing field is even.
Dark heart
This is why everyone is REQUIRED to "rise out of "respect" when a judge enters the courtroom. Sorry... Respect is EARNED.
It's not to respect the individual judge, it's to respect the position of judge. It's the same reason all enlisted servicemembers salute all officers, regardless of how they feel about the particular officer. That's why they're SUPPOSED to kick monsters like this lady off the bench, because they're hurting the overall position's respectability.

Simple reason she was not disciplined: Every case she sat in on could come up for a new trial, uncovering even more judicial corruption
Thats fucked up. Better one hundred guilty go free than one innocent go to prison.
@@RobertWilkinsonJKekMaloy That's America for you. In most other developed countries like Canada, Australia, etc. the judges don't get this kind of power and discretion. Look at what the courts did to the poor Kniffen Family in the 1980s. Judical abuse in America is through the roof, not to mention the number of lawyers who see criminal convictions as a notch in their belt rather than finding the truth and protecting the innocent. Criminals should obviously be incarcerated and punished, but the courts have also ruined many innocent lives.
In legal terms they call this judicial efficiency or economy. It's the same reason they will overlook large and broad injustices, while granting relief on sporadic technicalities. When you see a child molester or a murderer get relief on a technicality while people get life for stealing three golf clubs (see Ewing v. California, SCOTUS), you can thank judicial economy for this.
Exactly!

Imagine you're a mechanic, you totally screw someone's car up beyond repair, but we let your fellow mechanic buddies determine your level of accountability and punishment.
It's disgusting.
I'll fix it for you: ''imagine you're a mechanic, you repair someones car, its an ugly car, barely running, so you take pics and find some memes and send it to your buddies''
.....it's memes mate. f**king memes. Get over it.
@@danielseaburg9763 they are memes, however, in judicial processes, they must remain professional during related emails and court related information.
Here's an example:
In business/auditing/accounting/consulting memes like this could get you in trouble because if the meme relates to a client or any work, depending what it is, it's sharing confidential material AND possible insider information. There needs to be professionalism. Also a judge should be unbiased and these memes show a bias. I get it, I love memes, I meme on my free time and share memes often but never share memes directly related to any workload or client. Memes sent should be on a private channel outside of work, again, not relating or based on work
Better analogy, imagine you're a mechanic whose poor performance and lack of skill causes a car to crash and kill several people, and then your peers decide you can carry on. This woman is deciding death penalty cases, when she's proven she's intellectually and emotionally incapable of understanding the severity of that responsibility. Her peers have given her the green light to kill people when she has the maturity of a drunk teenager.
Yeah but she didn't screw up anyone's life. The just made "jokes" behind people's back
I think your example is way off. This would be like the mechanic fixing your car, after you crashed or failed to install the oil filter correctly, and then they made a poster with your face labeled "car expert."
its like a click of high school kids who all graduated went to college then all came back together reuniting to work together in the justice system an the same actions continued but now they have the power of a judge in there click.
What?! A dismissal? Wow.
Shocking that the Judicial Tenure Commission dismissed the case, it proves there's no justice in Arizona.
Filth
It's not any different in other states, unfortunately.
Especially Maracopa Co.
I’m an az native of 30 years and unfortunately can back up your comment to the fullest. Super fucked what people will do to make a quick buck out here…
@@RAINCLEARY Yes I lived in Tucson years ago, I'm well aware how screwed up it is there, it's a shame.
They won't do anything, because they are corrupted has her...
True
LoL thank you for showing your ignorance.
@@ey67 a one word troll. LoL You can’t write a decent sentence so one word is all you post.
It’s Maricopa, what do you expect.
I'm just a 'state employee' of a different state. At the minimum if I did such things - there would probably be massive trainings, etc. but because of the 'breaches' of IT use policy I could expect to not be able to use a computer, definite 'demotion' and that's a given; worst is charges and termination... But they only 'slap her hand' here and try to protect their findings and the judge... donno what happens to her but still...
I question everything she has done as a judge or a prosecutor. Anything she has touched needs to be re-examined.
100%
You know what's amazing? No one ever looks to into a judges who release violent criminals who then go commit crimes against innocent civilians.
Every time something happens - we look at the criminal's past history and wonder who would let that individual out.
That is precisely why the panel refused to discipline her. They could have to retry all of the cases she sat on and there is a very big dollar number associated with that.
@@MikeJones-nu4sd source ?
Based on what ?
These allegations stem from a single angry court clerk.
The only evidence at issue was that the bailiff had dent a handful of inappripriate memes over the years. The judge didnt and her court rulings were flawless
If these folks can take our freedom from us we deserve to see these types of investigations. Absolutely DEPLORABLE

@@kipkyzer9298 what's your point?
@@HoloScope My point is that the person I responded too capitalized the word deplorable, making it a political shot. I just pointed out that the person she was referring to was a democrat, not a so called deplorable republican. I'd think long and hard about telling the world you are affiliated with the party that is completely burning this country to the ground and how ironic the story is about the judges obvious racial bias towards people
@@kipkyzer9298 Love how you just ignored the fact that the other half was Republican
Judges don't--the prosecution does
So much for upholding justice. What a coward.
Some judges????
Most judges
We are judged by the worst people in our society. Disgusting.
She should never work in any courtroom. People’s life is in the balance here and it’s one big meme to her.
State legislators can also remedy this with actual laws for judges and force DAs to act by law or be subjected themselves.
Then they'll change the law. Immunity......
.
Politicians stop illegal activity???!!! They are too busy getting paid by lobbyists so they can buy second homes on the beach!
More laws??? More laws??? Imbalanced imposition of consequences for breaking law are chaotic!!! We need an OVERHAUL bottom to top and top to bottom
I bet the defense lawyers would love to see all the memes sent. They should all ask for new trials
This is what happens when women prefer a Career over raising a family.
We need to acknowlege that when people become cop's judges, doctor's, nurses. ...toll booth collectors etc. they DON'T always leave their prejudices and bias at the door. They fully display them on the job and it hurts society.
No such thing as non bias. You can attempt it but lawyers are biased as a job description. Defense lawyers for their clients and prosecutors for the state.
Everyone has some kind of bias. It is impossible to be human without some bias. Human beings judge things at first sight. It is just part of being human. NO ONE walking the earth has absolutely ZERO biases.
Reading your comment I couldn't agree more... but I can NOT wrap my brain around it... just disgusting!
I agree but I’m from a very small city where toll booths don’t exist😭😂so that caught me off guard
Lol... tollbooths..kind of a thing from the past! Gotta pay to get in or out!
The more someone has power over others, the more they need to be held to a higher level of accountability. Period. Unrestricted power, almost without exception, breeds corruption.
Yes starting with Trump
Facts!
@@onigiri2136 said "Facts"
About that
@@Cuffsmaster starting with the Clinton’s
@@IAmWithinEverythingThe Trumps were worse and even more dishonest sadly
That's exactly how it was working at an obgyn clinic in san antonio texas. I was the one who was talked about in text messages and told what was said about me on the side. However, the same females who told me were to scared to speak up. I left because I felt like it was a high school.
There's no honor in evil. When are we going to realize how evil this world really is?
Disgusting. When people in power behave like depraved children you strip them of that power. Its only just.
Well, that describes most politicians.
@@sugarfree8303 Here's the thing about blaming "all politicians" or "most politicians": Politiicians are people with power, and we already know that power corrupts. It isn't that politicians are terrible people, or terrible people seek political office, it's that the more power people accumulate, the more temptation there is for them to behave badly, and to get away with it, which encourages them to continue behaving badly and to escalate the bad behaviour. What we lack are institutions that hold people with power to account.
t . byrne I agree when they act like depraved children that they should be stripped of their power, however who will strip them of that power when they all work together hand & hand!
@@stoverboo Your comment? Wild thundering APPLAUSE. Thank you.
@@sugarfree8303 should be applied to parents too.
She's not the only bad judge in Arizona.
That may be true, but that doesn't mean she deserves to slip through the cracks.
Is this the county of Lock'm up Joe?
@@williammcbroom6158 Correctamundo 🎯
Thank you ABC15 for this investigation and the others to come.
THIS JUDGE IS UNFIT TO SERVE AS A JUDGE OR IN ANY CAPACITY IN LAW ENFORCEMENT. FIRE HER IMMEDIATELY AND CHARGE HER WITH ETHICS VIOLATIONS.
"The judge acknowledges her remorse"? Remorse of being caught!
The fact that they all have not been fired speaks volumes for the state of Arizona legal system, what a disgrace!
This is why Arizona won't look at the new evidence that could declare someone innocent, and save their life, she's in there.
all anerica laws not only one state
Not just that, that judge was transferred and given an other job as a Prosecutor!!!
They're elected officials. They don't get "fired."
@@user-kb8qw7dy4t bull .
I legit walked into a case with a foolproof case. Other lawyer walks in. Judge goes; " oh hey Mr. X"
I'm fucked I tell myself. Of course I lost
There is no segment of any profession that hasn’t devolved into disgust….there may be ethical professional examples in those professions….but they are overshadowed by the disgusting examples that take the forefront! Our society is doomed, as is all of mankind as a result.
We’ve investigated ourselves and found no proof of misconduct……🤦🏻♂️
This is why NO agent of the state should be trusted for a single second. They should be CONSTANTLY under the microscope.
Let's have brain scans to see what they laugh at ... Was she doing a good job ! That is the ONLY thing that needs to be under anything . This article is revulsive . It is about hurt feelings ... NOT getting streets safe .
I do not care if anyone is laughing at FAT jokes or THIN jokes ...This victim system of opression wokeness is getting our streets less safe and is a massive waste of time and ressources.
Was this judge doing a good job or NOT ? This is what has to be presented . Ho about looking into Chesa Boudin's record on crime ... Care to get to the root of this communist American hater ? This article does NOT address the only thing of importance ... Was this judge doing a good job !
@@niniv2706
An agent of the state who holds the power to strip you of your fundamental rights should behave with the utmost of integrity not like an immature high school mean girl
No agent of the state should ever be trusted period.
Those given power to destroy should be under constant scrutiny.
The number one killer of humanity outside of disease is the government.
And isn’t this the same Maricopa County with all the official vote tampering and election fraud? Lot of bad people in official positions there
I totally agree. We should have had far more transparency in all aspects of government and finance and justice system for decades now.
That’s called transparency
What about leaving your personal humor issues at home? Can't do that? You have no right to be a judge. You're not even doing the job.
It makes you wonder, if she is so irresponsible and disrespectful, what kind of mess she made of her decisions? How can people like this be in positions of such great power over other people's lives?
It’s rare to remove a judge from their judicial position. It’s basically a tenured type job. Our system has been broken for a very long time.
In Utah, Judges are voted in. Attorneys also rate the Judges and it is anonymous. I don't know if it that way for other states though.
@@triciac1019 You’re correct. Federal judges are appointed. But I’ve seen judges on the state level hold their power on pure ideology.
We vote for our judges it is not a tenured position every election cycle we vote
@@triciac1019 That makes Judges political to it has its faults also
Term limits. There, I fixed it.
"I've taken full responsibility " . Easy to do when you know there are no consequences

she finally blew the Whistle we need many more W.B. Specially today..
People who you'd think
could be trusted is
no longer the case..
Look at the

who've been committing crimes abuse rape
against children doing horrible horrible crimes
against many children
while video recording their evil works..
They should both
get the death penalty
for these evil acts crimes against children..
People today have no limits to the acts of evil they will
do to other's..
The so-called Commissions on Judicial Conduct are a sick joke. They do nothing to hold these irrational judges accountable.
@@maskedmarvyl4774 like half the video waa angry about the judge letring a kid have a cupcake on his birthday before his dad is sent to prison. Meanwhile thr victim was the kids mom.
It was for both of the.
Why do so many crazy things always happen in Maricopa County?! 🤔
