That's really unprofessional behavior (if true). I love how her lawyer said that "being a judge doesn't require a beauty contest". I agree with that, be it also requires, among other things, THE ABILITY TO STAY AWAKE ON THE JOB. I'm not surprised in the least she's diabetic. If that's the cause of her falling asleep, then maybe she needs to take care of herself a little better before she's deemed fit to pass judgment on the lives of other people.

...but also tainting juries and falling asleep on the bench....

poor jurors, as if sitting in her court room while she snores away is bad enough, Judge "rub my feet" has to mess with their taint

Quote:

She has submitted a report from a therapist who diagnosed her with an adjustment disorder, anxiety and depression. And she produced a letter from her physician, Dr. Michael Jacobs, who said she is diabetic, uses a wheelchair because of arthritis in her feet and knees, and needs oxygen to counteract the effects of sleep apnea.

Jacobs said a drop in blood sugar may have caused a brief episode in which she fell asleep in court. But he said there is no physical reason Halverson cannot be an effective judge.



It's difficult to get all the facts in a case when your asleep.

Another time, she allegedly had her husband sworn in so that she could ask him under oath whether he had completed chores at home.

if that's true it's soooooooooooo far beyond ridiculous...

 

[AngryMetalsmith]

I bet she eats at the bench during a trial and uses the low blood sugar as an excuse.

"Plaintiff, gompf nom nom clomp muf , how do, slurp smack nom nom, you plead? buuuuurppp"

That she has a husband?

This might be my favorite part...

Halverson did not respond to an interview request. A shirtless man who answered the door at her home pointed to a "no trespassing" sign and ordered a reporter off the property. The yard is clean these days, after the city cited Halverson for leaving it strewn with junk and letting the water in her pool grow murky and stagnant.

All I can imagine is trailer with plastic lawn furniture. I bet her husband is a twig too. I'm picturing Cleetus from the Simpsons:

He'd have to be to get into all those nooks and crannies. That was probably what he was doing at the time when he answered the door shirtless.

She probably has more food stored in her fat rolls than the local food bank.

No, she IS the food bank.

Her former bailiff, for example, says Halverson made him feel like a "houseboy." He says the judge -- who is obese and uses a motorized scooter to get around -- made him put her shoes on her feet, massage her back, cover her with a blanket for naps and make sure her oxygen tank was filled. He says she asked him, "Do you want to worship me from near or afar?"

Mmm. I'd be her houseboy any day.

Lay off me I'm STAARRRVING!!

 

[brungeman]

I can hear her getting fatter!

 

[LordOpie]

This thread is full of all kind of funny. Well done!


Also, gives new meaning to "justice is served".

 

[AngryMetalsmith]

I can picture her clapping like seal and yelling, " Treats, treats who will bring me treats? "
