Should have been removed when he admitted falling in love with his step-daughter but at least he is gone. You are supposed to fall in love with people your own age, not your spouse's children!!! Now, for the rest of the questionable judges???

Two Cents wrote on October 21, 2008 02:35 PM: Most of the charges probably belong in another court anyway. What really bothers me is his statement about falling in love and wanting to marry her. This is (I'm being nice) not a statement a family court judge should be making and he should have been removed from the bench long ago. We seem to have a serious problem with our judges. I agree with an earlier poster. The review board for these people should be made up of regular citizens, not people who will protect their own.

She Rises, He falls? wrote on October 21, 2008 01:21 PM: She is currently a Law Clerk for the Court. She graduated from the Boyd School of Law in 2006.

Geeez, the Judge helped her quite a bit. Now look what he gets in return. I suppose nice guys do finish last. You go Girl. Good job, NOT. You should be ashamed of yourself. Karma.

The Judicial Discipline Commission is a joke and has always sided on with their buddies of the courts. Prosecutors special prosecutors, cops and judges are all a bunch of crooks.

People, they are NOT on your side..
The legal system in Nevada is more than just broken, it a sham, its corrupt, its illegal, its a violation of Constitutional laws, is offensive, its designed to oppress and destroy people's lives, and a bunch more..

This guy is paramount to a rapist and sits in court making judgements against you. When in fact he himself is an abuser..

This is NOT justice. Then again, just look at how a cop in Henderson got away with MURDER of a mother in front of her children. Now see a judge get away with ABUSE.

Your tax dollars wasted again..
This is a joke and every resident should be doing everything to remove this guy.

Now lets all watch and see how he gets away with it.

So the fix is in and this disgusting human will get off the hook. And, of course, the public, who foots the bill for all of this, is left in the dark as to why a predator like this is not going to be adaquately punished.

Of course they get paid( no doubt to much) for these bungled tasks along with all the other state benefits. And people wonder why the state is at the bottom of every list and going broke. You only have to look at things like this to determine why.

Mark wrote on October 21, 2008 07:32 AM: Exactly what did this guy do that was wrong for a Judge. It sounds like he was acting just like every other slimeball judge and elected official. He should not worry, the Judicial Discipline Committee has no appetite for taking him on, just for a little hanky panky, some photos, some suggestive remarks and some sex by a Judge. This case is right up there with Judge Halversons, and we see what the Commission is doing to her, abdolutely nothing. They are going to wait until after January then claim no jurisdiction to discipline.
