Shot him in the back as the poor guy slept. His "abuse" consisted of asking his wife to wear some FMP type shoes and a wig for some bedroom fun. She got away with murdering the guy in cold blood based on an emotional abuse defense!

Here we have a horribly abusive woman who wore her hatefulness like a badge honor, publicly humiliating and castigating her poor husband over and over. If someone is willing to treat a spouse that badly in public, how must they treat them behind closed doors?

EH is one of the nastiest, meanest spirited women I've ever seen. I think disgust over her internal ugliness is the root of rude comments made about her outer package. Battered spouse syndrome doesn't leave only women in its wake. Some things are a lot more hurtful and permanently damaging than physical abuse.

I'm not even certain the guy did it. That 911 call is bizarre..seems he doesn't know what happened to her and was trying to help her. Is it possible she did this to herself and blamed him in an effort to garner sympathy for her legal plight?

Huh, Elmer? wrote on October 01, 2008 09:37 PM: To Elmer Fud said it best, what does your comment have to do with this story? "hired guns for security purposes" regarding her husbands attempted murder charges? Your agenda is showing....

Elmer Fud said it best wrote on September 29, 2008 11:56 AM: Apparently, Halverson is playing the court system. Does anybody doubt that? If she was so scared, that she had to bring in her own "hired guns for security purposes," she should have exhausted her opportunities in filing a suit.

But no, she decided to turn the judicial building into some cartoon third world country, and break every law of decent behavior. She's gone to the dark side, that's all folks.

Why is everyone making a big deal about Halverson when there are Judges like Mosley and Hardcastle who are far more corrupt?

Wonder if she will recruit another man servant from the ex-con lonely hearts club. Civil Service Is the Maird!! Especially if you're an attorney.

Ken, that is a very good question. In the studies I was part of, most if not all of the super morbidly obese subjects had been large from adolescence.

Weight is a very complex issue. It can be different for different people. While a psychological event can effect a persons weight (some gain, some lose), Weight consistent with Super morbid obesity is most often a life long battle and more often than not has some heredity factors to it. I suspect if more research were done I think we would find there may be some clear physiological components more so than psychological. Although most morbidly obese people suffer from severe depression. Most often that depression is brought on by the treatment they receive from others as well as their own feelings of failure and despair at their situation.

None of us know what attempts Judge Halverson has made to try to reduce her weight. None of us know, or should know what medical issues may be involved.Having worked in this field many years and having worked with bariatric patients for many years I would suspect that Judge Halverson would not be suitable candidate for Weight Loss Surgery. I would be very surprised if she could find a qualified Bariatric Surgeon who would perform surgery on her.

I think it is great that you were willing to ask questions to educate yourself rather than jump on the fat joke band wagon.

While it is easy to blame someone and ridule them for being so large. It really is not as simple as many on this site seem to think.

Very, very sad to see such disrespect and focus on this woman's size more than anything else.

Inside The RJC wrote on September 24, 2008 08:45 PM: To Dumblasvegas; The people would be better informed if Mosley would stop hiding from interviews and debates (Jon Ralston). In addition, he has successfully removed the comment section from his the RJ and Sun websites. The question is what did he threaten the newspapers with to do this. I know of comments that were suddenly removed which were nothing more than JDC Decisions and web addresses for news stories.

What's he hiding? 25 yrs. of corruption. If he won't debate the voters should not give him their vote.

Cynthia Graveman wrote on September 24, 2008 07:54 PM: I went to high school with Elizabeth Halverson. I think her name was Elizabeth Machia at the time.

She was in fact on the basketball team. She also played tennis as I took lessons with her. Truth is she was big back then. Not anything like now. But definetly bigger than the rest of the girls. It always amazed me that even though she was larger she was into sports and was actually a very good player.

She also was in the student body. I remember her loving politics back then. I remember her as being very opionated but not rude like people are portraying her to be. I remember she was working on some politcal candidates campaign and did a big speech about what it took for women to vote. She was one of those really smart students who always got awards.

Odd to see her in all this mess. I always thought she would be somebody. Never thought it would turn out like this.

Sad really.
