RE: Judge removed from hearing cases while being investigated for misconduct
Sorry about the delay in responding to this particular post, but it wasn't until a recent conversation that I was reminded of who this Badgett guy is.
Steve said: Mark had the audacity to switch parties a few years ago. The amusing irony is that the guy doesn't act any differently than he did when he was a Democrat...
Judge Badgett finally found the right party for him. And yes, I don't think he acts any differently than he did before. Matter of fact, a couple of the Democrats I know didn't think enough of him to vote for him because he was "such an @$$hole." Those sentiments come from Badgett's actions nearly 15 yrs ago, and I doubt he's changed any. Maybe he's even worse.
From the article: "Dummit said that the investigation is a witch hunt."
Steve: Ya think so, Capt. Obvious?
The timing of this may be politically motivated, but I'll bet that they found themselves a witch.
From the WSJ article: "there are allegations of coercing guilty pleas, berating defendants, and embarrassing clerks..."
From the AP as reported on WFMY2.com:
Badgett is accused of "forcing guilty pleas from defendants, berating them in court, and embarrassing court clerks."
The lesson here is that it almost always pays to be nice, especially if you have successfully switched parties and finally won an election as a result. Local politics is too personal of a game to act disrespectful to those you work with and judge on a daily basis.
