The town has to clean up her yard because she can't and her convicted felon husband won't. She has a long history of not paying her debts. She has already had two attorneys for this hearing, both have not been paid. She is pulling the "disability" card. What a crock. She is a manipulator and is using the system. Cut off her pay now!

Mornon. What does this say about you?

First anyone who would put up with what you "ALLEGE" Halverson did to you deserves it.

You need to stand up and be a man and grow some churros pal.

You thought it was your job to rub your bosses feet? RIGHT.

Next comes a racial discrimation thing to cash in... I feel it comin... oh lordy I do...

Liz in Vancouver wrote on August 06, 2008 08:18 AM: Wow. This trial should be a no-brainer, butr of course she has to have her day in court. Be assured that the rest of the country is watching this trial with great interest, and it provides a welcome relief from the stresses of the presidential campaign. Can't the voters start a recall campaign? If she was elected, seems like she could be UN-elected.

I'm also wondering why her poor husband puts up with her.

What about the taxpayers rights to have a real judge, not a massive buffoon. Halverson is a disgusting and needs to be removed. Voters remember this, and do not blindly vote for a name on a sign.

Two Liars, and Halverson's Questionable Cognitive Functioning wrote on August 05, 2008 10:07 PM: "Jordan was often evasive and combative when Schwartz questioned him. Jordan refused to answer simple questions, such as whether he had medical training or if other bailiffs worked at the Regional Justice Center."

Okay, Jordan's credibility is clearly in question; however, so is Halverson's.

The people have a right to know how much Halverson weighs, how much oxygen she is on, whether she actually uses her C-PAP device at night for her sleep apnea, and how oxygen deficits among the severely morbidly obese affect their cognitive functioning.

Re-Elect Judge Moseley wrote on August 05, 2008 09:50 PM: If a morbidly obese woman with a life threatening eating disorder and serious oxygen deficit (that could very well have diminished her judgment, as it may still be doing) can get elected to the bench, then anyone, and I mean anyone, can become a judge in Southern Nevada.

Donald Moseley: there IS hope for your re-election!

tmosley wrote on August 05, 2008 09:24 PM: Thanks to Chief Judge Hardcastle and her own violations of law, it is conceivable that Judge Halverson will not be removed, certainly not soon. Instead of following the guidelines mandated for Chief Judges, Hardcastle disregarded proper procedures, exceeded her authority, and deprived the judge her rights to due process. There now, are constitutional issues with far reaching effects.

With the prosecutor's intense desire to remove Halverson, additional violations have occurred, including the inappropriate testimony by the prosecution's star witness, demonstrating a clear bias and possible agenda. Of course we are national laughing stock, but we cannot point the finger solely at Judge Halverson.

I do wish some readers would stop complaining about Judge Halverson receiving her salary while off the bench. It wasn't her choice, that was Hardcastle's. And if we are focusing on a deliberate attempt to delay, well I recall one judge in particular that managed to delay one of his judicial discipline hearings for approximately three years.

Either Hardcastle doesn't understand the law, thereby qualifying for her own JDC complaint, or she (willfully) disregarded the rules of law as a result of her inability to see past her own personal agenda, and lack of professional decorum.

It wouldn't surprise me to learn that many of the fat jokes trace back to the same place. Aren't there more interesting issues to discuss?

I am no judge, but will predict the outcome will be a finding of bad judgment, and mistakes, not willful misconduct.

For me it's about an equal and just system that we can predict and depend upon. The punishment should fit the crime. If the people then still wish her off the bench they can vote.

The Judge is one revolting pig.

madgie wrote on August 05, 2008 08:51 PM: Johnny did not do any thing different then any other Bailiff that is hired by
a Judge. (At will employee's) Rubbing the feet of a Judge is mild compared to lieing, stealing and solicting favors from citizens and Attorney's.

Halverson isn't the first nor the last Judge to fall a sleep on the Bench.

Any way Johhny may make it to the Tonight Show. I heard the case was on CNN. That's great for Las Vegas. Now let's hope there is a snow ball effect and the Commission goes after all the other Judges. But, who will then go after the Commission. Step right up, Feds.
