ABC15 exposes ‘astonishing and horrific’ conduct by judge, staff in major cases

- A Maricopa County Superior Court judge and her staff mocked and ridiculed people during hearings and trials by routinely emailing each other cruel and obscene statements, jokes, and memes. The conduct happened in major felony cases, including high-profile capital murders. Emails and internal records obtained by ABC15 show no one was off-limits: Defendants, their families, jurors, witnesses, attorneys, even other court employees, and top court officials.
This is just part one of Dave Biscobing's "Dishonorable" series. For the full investigation and updates since this story aired click here: www.abc15.com/news/local-news...

During my dads murder trial, while a graphic picture of the gunshot wound to his head was displayed on a projector, the presiding judge broke out into a bout of laughter after looking at something one of his assistants showed him. When I got upset and asked what was so funny, the bailiff told me to sit down and be quiet, the judge continued to converse with his assistant and chuckle. I never felt so mad and hopeless, and I'm supposed to call him your honor? Rise when he enters the courtroom? Not a chance. His name is John Knodell, Grant County wa superior Court, and he lost all respect from me that day
Fkn love u. Preach it. What’s right is right. And crap like that should never be forgotten. Forgiveness can lighten the soul, but only a fool forgets.🤔 Sorry about your father, and sorry to learn of such a shitbag judge in ANY position of power. Bastard judge. Be well. ✌️
💚💜
So sorry to hear about your father and the imbecile judge presiding over the trial which must have been so painful for you all. The disrespect you received was immature ...abhorrent and unforgivable. These are the lunatics as you say, we are supposed to show respect.
The judge in this report has a cold demeanour about her. I wouldn't trust her around children.
You are in my thoughts.
Sorry for you loss and our systems disrespect.
I am so sorry 😢

@@b.csplatbriancross7062 exactly. Theyre ALL corrupt. Term limits are a MUST.
I dated a judge for a few months from my hometown and we would go out in the evenings and he would drink ALOT and then drive. He had NO fear of driving under the influence as he knew there would be no repercussions. Needless to say, I lost all respect for him and never went out with him again. Some judges and prosecutors are corrupt and need to lose their positions.
Why I'd never date a cop, or a doctor for that matter. Some professions attract sociopaths who are dangerous especially when drunk on power.
Did you report him? No,you didn't. You allowed this loser to keep breaking the law, putting others' families' lives in danger. Bad people only get away with it because good people do nothing.
@@AlwaysFallingFromTheRight... Then they are no longer the good people themselves. If you allow bad people to get away with what they done, then you're just as bad as them.
You got off lucky. I worked with a guy whose mom dumped a cop she had been dating. Thereafter, their whole family was subjected to abuse and harassment by many members of the small-town Police force. NEVER date anyone who works for Law Enforcement.
@@bwilliams463 plenty of true crime stories like that. Also cops being serial killers and all sorts of abusers, harassers and criminals and they cover their own tracks so they get away with a lot.
Thank you to both the whistleblower and to the journalists investigating judicial misconduct.
You wonder why judges forbid cameras in the courtroom or sometimes even in the building.
Shouldn't give that kind of unbridled power
Nothing should be hidden from the public!
There are cameras in most courtrooms. It’s news cameras or programs like COURT-TV that most of them don’t like in their courtroom. Because they show everyone the true behavior of people that supposed to be upholding the law. If you’ve ever go into a courtroom just look up and you’ll see those little black covers over the cameras. Just like the ones in a department stores.
Randolph county North Carolina couple hundred people too many had court one day. the judge ordered the door locked not let anyone else in that couldn’t find a seat and then issued a warrant for everyone in the hallway.
It makes you really think that the public courts aren't very public. The judge's DA's and law enforcement are out of control and need to be culled.
But they are, and they are INTOXICATED with it.
Why was she not disbarred for unethical conduct as a bar attorney?
Judge tranquili got disbarred Allegheny county
They found that her conduct was not unethical so why would they disbar her?
Corruption, Maricopa county is a highly corrupt county
Bar complaints don’t file themselves

It’s not just about the memes, it’s about the judge - She’s a narcissist with no empathy, and should NOT be a judge. A narcissist is individualistic, NOT INCLUSIVE.
Exactly, well said. she is not of the mind required to be a Judge. 🤮
They are all the same
I think that she is a human being who has had enough.
She should be an inmate.
The perfect example of how our system lets us down.
The judge looks like Wednesday Adams ate Pugsly. She has no right to criticize ANYONE.

It's astonishing that some people never grow out of their adolescence. I expect more maturity from a judge.
This reminds me of the surgeon who got caught mocking his patient under anesthesia. Professionalism matters, people.
That would destroy me. Past trauma and abuse as a child by medical personnel has made it a very long and painful journey to making myself seek medical attention for serious issues, and then for regular health, I’m in a good place now 20 years later, but I’ve only just arrived, if I found out this happened to me, it would be irreparable, 20 years of healing down the toilet, but this time, the lid would be glued shut.

If I was a defense attny, I'd try & impeach her "character" every chance I could.
Ridiculous. Erin Otis should never be a judge again nor should she be a prosecutor.
She should be sentenced to a life time of janitorial service, or food service, so that she learns what it is like to serve others, and perhaps develop a tiny bit of empathy for society.
She should be brought up on FEDERAL charges of HATE CRIMES AGAINST……EVERYONE.
She needs a few dirt naps from her victims. I'd pay PPV money to watch it.
As long as she keeps the streets clean from criminals, I don't care how she acts.
A judge should be unbiased, fair and just, this woman was judging everyone on everything including their appearance. She should never be a judge again, I honestly don't think she should ever step inside a court room again.
As I’ve stated numerous times, a respectable job title doesn’t make one a good person!!!! Yet people refuse to stop putting other human beings on pedestals!!!

@@SgtMars I've served with some down right despicable people.
True facts
It seems, many times, that the most "respectable" tends to also be the most corrupt.
They dismissed the complaint...WOW!!!!
You can see why people don’t come forward here this brave employee of many year finally becomes brave enough to stand up and said this isn’t right and nothing is done about it. Why take a chance on even coming forward? I’m so proud that she took this amazing responsibility to show how one judge behaved and even though nothing has been done she did the right thing. Now she’s an high paying attorney wow way to be held accountable. I feel bad for anyone who has her as the prosecutor on their very important cases.
If the judge was proven guilty, then they would have to question every judgment she made. What a Justice system.
They already went through her record. That was part of the investigation.
ALL THE PROOF SHE'S GUILTY N SOME STAFF
That's probably why they just let it go. It would cost the county/state too much money to reopen so many cases. That and the just simply don't care. There is little justice in the so called "Justice" system.
The birthday party one was crazy
@Politically incorrect You are 100% correct! I don't see how this issue can ever be made right though, as long as they can hide their actions and cover up what they are doing, same with cops. The entire system is a broken mess with no way to fix it.
I’m sure there’s plenty of judges like this all over the country. A young assistant district attorney once told me that they are taught in law school “Be kind to your lesser achieving classmates for they will be the judges deciding your cases”!
This just exposes the mindset of people with no morals or standards and too much power.
Unfortunately it's true.
They all have skeletons. Weak American pansies allow all of this
It's true
I had a da tell me he will have an expert come in an say whatever the da wanted him to say. I said that’s not an expert then. But in small towns the judges and da do whatever they want.
It's the "judge's courtroom." Idc what the circumstances are, she's responsible.
That judge should be banned from any legal jurisdiction period. How vile and unethical can one be.
Imagine the defendants whose fate were decided by this immature high school bully. 😭

Yup but a disgrace and disgusting thing by the investigation system. They keep allowing this to happen. By the way that judge looks like a gothic disaster and not in a good way
Speaking and hopefully something will come out of this. There’s always a cover up for the legal elite. God have your way
Especially in Arizona. A VERY corrupt state of cops and judges. I purposely didn't capitalize cops and judges.
She complained about coworkers sharing memes, despite her supervisor not having a problem with it; it never went anywhere because this is protected first amendment activity. If clerk Karen has a problem with the first amendment, she needs to find another job; this is protected activity and the the state had actually done anything to punish them for exercising their first amendment rights, it they could have been sued for civil rights violations in federal court.
Anyone having to appear in front of this judge should disqualify her immediately.
I don't even live in Arizona but I'm following this channel. I have so much respect.
Simple reason she was not disciplined: Every case she sat in on could come up for a new trial, uncovering even more judicial corruption
Thats fucked up. Better one hundred guilty go free than one innocent go to prison.
@@RobertWilkinsonJKekMaloy That's America for you. In most other developed countries like Canada, Australia, etc. the judges don't get this kind of power and discretion. Look at what the courts did to the poor Kniffen Family in the 1980s. Judical abuse in America is through the roof, not to mention the number of lawyers who see criminal convictions as a notch in their belt rather than finding the truth and protecting the innocent. Criminals should obviously be incarcerated and punished, but the courts have also ruined many innocent lives.
In legal terms they call this judicial efficiency or economy. It's the same reason they will overlook large and broad injustices, while granting relief on sporadic technicalities. When you see a child molester or a murderer get relief on a technicality while people get life for stealing three golf clubs (see Ewing v. California, SCOTUS), you can thank judicial economy for this.
Exactly!
you read my mind,if she is challenged in any way,in her demeanor or attitude toward other human beings then her whole case load could be up for scrutiny,this is kind of mess that is called up when people who are trusted,CAN NOT BE TRUSTED WITH POWER,asked a friend of mines widow,what she wanted out of life,her answer,POWER,SCARED ME TO DEATH knowing her like it do,the last thing a man a or woman needs is power when they are devoid of understanding

ALL judges should be INCLUSIVE, valuing ALL LIFE, not just human life, but all life.
Do you eat plants or animals?
Inclusive? That has nothing to do with this. Valuing all life.. Did you see the story...it's not about 'valuing life...all life' (dogs, cats???). This i's about being an Adult and Respecting People, nothing to do with animal welfare, or inclusion.
No one is suprised this is how most courtrooms conduct themselves. The system is a joke
This is the dude that broke that ada lawsuit story, I hope something comes of this, people who no one would consider a “criminal” get treated like human garbage, family members too, they ruin people’s lives on a whim
For fun.....you mean.... There's been experiments to prove that if you give anyone power like this with immunity they're going to be corrupt depraved narcissistic sociopaths..
It's human nature unfortunately but true......
Something just has .
You sure right..... sure right.
Boy, this doesn’t inspire ANY confidence in our so called “Justice System “
This judge’s blatant disregard for professionalism and the feelings of the targeted individuals is extremely disturbing. 😢
What’s worse IMO is that the agency that was supposed to be investigating the matter dismissed the case and the judge, nor the bailiff were disciplined. That agency or whatever is called needs to be investigated by an outside ethics board.
@@alvaroakatico9188 They couldn't find any cases that her demeanor impacted the results. The only questionable contact is when talking to a defendant about his music. There was probably a review of the transcript and results.
They need to hold these liberal DAs n judges who let out criminals time n time again without charges or an Ibond
Many of us have never had full confidence in the justice system. This has been complained about for many years from many people
Yeah. They should release the family that killed their 10 year old child because the judge and bailiff have a sense of humor some people don’t agree with. Is everyone a cry baby today?
What?! A dismissal? Wow.
Her “peers” ruled that she did nothing wrong.
This is why we need more independent and public oversight.
Unfortunately we live in a world of privilege and that won’t happen.
It should probably be pointed out that this _is_ in Maricopa County, after all--the attempt to be as backwards as the South while located in the West, sponsored and publicized for so long by old pardoned-convict Sheriff Joe, endlessly re-elected. It is certainly not somewhere that ethics and accountability to wider standards will be regarded without federal compulsion.
We live in they're privilege
US Bureaucracy! Disgrace
People have no clue. I'd guess the number of evil dysfunctional inept judges is well over half.
@@XxByePolarxX
We live in there privilege. It's right there!
Power corrupts people. That's why judges should be reviewed every year and not retain employees for more than that time.
Yes and every judge that released a violent criminal who went on to harm someone should be made to re-evaluate the decision and address the victims and the community.
Totally agree
@@josh6149 That's a good idea

Erin Otis is a liar and embarrassment, yet she shows you how in certain professions they "look out" for one another. With court video being time stamped it should be very easy to confirm poor Otis's "innocence", yet here we are. Hate when bullies land up in power and get rewarded for being less than civilized.
I used to live in Arizona. Not anymore, it sucks big time.
If she was doing things like this during her courtroom, just imagine what kind of person she is outside of court....WOW..
Exactly. Got a weird head that thing!!
Yeah she's vulgar and immature
ERIN OTIS looks exactly what she is, with her nasty, thin, dyed black hair and craggy face - a middle aged 'mean girl', the type who bullied other kids at school. And she found herself a privileged career where she could do it for a living!
I'm disgusted Otis bitched about other women's heavy periods and cellulite. Who the hell does she think she is? Nothing viler than a female misogynist. And that snake was allowed to slither off the judge's platform and into a prestigious, well paid job as a prosecutor? Disgraceful! Where is the accountability? Aren't these people public servants?
Erin Otis brought the entire legal profession into disrepute, she must not be allowed to continue to practise law - PERIOD! Respect to the professional who was courageous and principled enough to whistle blow, knowing the system would protect her. I hope this excellent journalism will succeed where the system shamefully failed, and get this ghastly woman thrown out of the legal profession and unable to practise law ever again.
Actually, she probably puts that fake humble act when she was not in court because she has no power elsewhere. People like her relish any power & are not comfortable where the playing field is even.
Dark heart
I’m so glad this news channel is exposing that judge and county. They gave her a slap on the wrist and moved her to a new position totally disgusting.
These people will nearly always immunized by their friends we the people must take investigative and punishment power away from people with a conflict of interest. It's no different than internal affairs and their ineptitude that's been shown since its development.

She's just an example of a judge getting caught. This is more common than the public realizes.
We all know that we are all humans and we make mistakes. None of us are perfect. But you would think upholding that type of position. You would be more humble and thoughtful of others?
Just like when police get caught for what their body cam captures?
Not because one of those cops had remorse and told on themselves because they had a conscience?? It’s usually someone else tells on you. And that is how you get caught.
That’s a fact! I’m currently trying to put a spotlight on Fayette County’s family court. It’s shameful and legit innocent people suffer because sometimes with power comes corruption. These type of people should be watched closely due to having that much power.
@markulis to whom are you asking?

Every time something happens - we look at the criminal's past history and wonder who would let that individual out.
That is precisely why the panel refused to discipline her. They could have to retry all of the cases she sat on and there is a very big dollar number associated with that.

These allegations stem from a single angry court clerk.

There is a standard of professionalism….when that is violated….no one trusts the office….unreal
Imagine you're a mechanic, you totally screw someone's car up beyond repair, but we let your fellow mechanic buddies determine your level of accountability and punishment.
It's disgusting.
I'll fix it for you: ''imagine you're a mechanic, you repair someones car, its an ugly car, barely running, so you take pics and find some memes and send it to your buddies''
.....it's memes mate. f**king memes. Get over it.
@@danielseaburg9763 they are memes, however, in judicial processes, they must remain professional during related emails and court related information.
Here's an example:
In business/auditing/accounting/consulting memes like this could get you in trouble because if the meme relates to a client or any work, depending what it is, it's sharing confidential material AND possible insider information. There needs to be professionalism. Also a judge should be unbiased and these memes show a bias. I get it, I love memes, I meme on my free time and share memes often but never share memes directly related to any workload or client. Memes sent should be on a private channel outside of work, again, not relating or based on work
Better analogy, imagine you're a mechanic whose poor performance and lack of skill causes a car to crash and kill several people, and then your peers decide you can carry on. This woman is deciding death penalty cases, when she's proven she's intellectually and emotionally incapable of understanding the severity of that responsibility. Her peers have given her the green light to kill people when she has the maturity of a drunk teenager.
Yeah but she didn't screw up anyone's life. The just made "jokes" behind people's back
I think your example is way off. This would be like the mechanic fixing your car, after you crashed or failed to install the oil filter correctly, and then they made a poster with your face labeled "car expert."
We investigated ourselves and found no wrong doing because we agree with everything these individuals did especially the judge.

@@rozieboss154 you're welcome. 😊 No problem.
I’m so tired of people in positions of power being paid so much more than their quality of work and having no accountability at all. Meanwhile people’s lives have been changed forever. I think it’s important to remember people do deserve compensations for errors that have affected their lives that they were not responsible for. And the judge needs consequences.
Truth
Have often said similar of compounded, redundant and outdated &/or obsolete laws and judgements that are made or enforced within and for such a business or system.
It is bad enough that these people have such power or authority over other people to condemn or change their lives usually for bad or worse, forever and making their money & living from it in the process.
Yes I'm sure there are many, many more who may or may not be so bold to get caught regarding such corruption and attitudes.
She clearly exhibits narcissistic behaviour. Lady, you ain’t no movie star. Not enough close.
All I heard in this video is that her and her staff liked to make very distasteful jokes. I didn't see anything about wrong sentences being handed out. Crap she even was nice enough to throw one guy's daughter a mini birthday party for a few mins to be nice to that family. Nothing about her actual job performance was mentioned.
This just looks like someone wants her seat as judge so they are using the distasteful jokes against her..
@@ceelow107 I think that everyone would like to believe an evaluation like yours (in a perfect world), which by the way sounds intelligent and reasonable - if it were not the system it is, where human / people make judgments and evaluations on other people based as much or more on (human feelings &/or opinions) than just written or case law, even though the people conducting the proceedings would like us to believe they are the most holistic and following the "rules" of the system. Also hearing about the "Birthday Party" thing sounded a bit bizarre even though most of us are not privy to extra or above ordinary events. I'm fairly sure of most people never ever hearing of anything like that. But then again I've heard of at least one wedding in prison?
I remember a time before everyone having a cell phone when the only glimpse of a court proceeding was an artist sketch of the courtroom.
Finally, I believe that most people avoid the courts and so called justice system like the plague for the same reasons / reasoning (as basically being presented herein).
One of my few and far between experiences was to "contest" a speeding ticket where the district attorney read the same exact word for word spill to me as the DUI driver before me. The judge made a comment about knowing me and the Officer who issued the ticket - for all that means? In the end, and in spite of everything that I said against the ticket or being guilty, the judge basically said that I didn't really say that I wasn't "Guilty", and so he was going to charge &/or fine me anyway???
...Before anyone says that is "Reasonable", it was the same exact judge that was overheard saying that he had previously scheduled another case, was going to allow the person to speak &/or say his piece about the case or incident, but had already evaluated the person as "Guilty" regardless of anything he had to say. Read Prejudice.
And so, in the end I guess we are all just offering comments for points of view or opinion on the aspect of videos we've seen.
This is what happens without public scrutiny. ALL judges in the US are like that.

@@kipkyzer9298 what's your point?
@@HoloScope My point is that the person I responded too capitalized the word deplorable, making it a political shot. I just pointed out that the person she was referring to was a democrat, not a so called deplorable republican. I'd think long and hard about telling the world you are affiliated with the party that is completely burning this country to the ground and how ironic the story is about the judges obvious racial bias towards people
@@kipkyzer9298 Love how you just ignored the fact that the other half was Republican
Judges don't--the prosecution does
What a waste of an education. Privileged
All her cases need to be review and retried.
We are judged by the worst people in our society. Disgusting.
We’ve investigated ourselves and found no proof of misconduct……🤦🏻♂️
She's a disgrace to the bench. her and that wicked staff needs to be locked up
And everyone that swept the dirty under the rug, and that is our court systems. Narssacits, sociopaths and psychopaths we have as leaders. The usa is a third world country it is not afar elsewhere, but close, it's called america, yes I spelled it in lowercase because that is what these people are, low as the lowest people on earth. These kind of people are shameless.
@@LaZaritasjourney Most people are good. These corrupt ones are less than 1% of the population. And, they are all around the world. So bend your ideologies some more.

Standard middle class white people
Not locked up, but fired from their jobs and never be able to work that position again!
This story is about a judge who participated in emailing memes to coworkers" Am i missing something?
I legit walked into a case with a foolproof case. Other lawyer walks in. Judge goes; " oh hey Mr. X"
I'm fucked I tell myself. Of course I lost
Judge Otis looks like she sleeps in a coffin, but by all means make fun of others' appearance.
Nah, Morticia just got a legal degree after the Adams Family and was working as a judge. LOL
and you just lowered yourself to her level doing exactly what she did. pretty dumb, no?
Yes, when I first saw her, I thought she looked like a prison inmate with greasy hair. There are some very SKANKY people in high places.
@@tuskgarcia9851 LOL, I also thought she looked like Morticia when I first saw her face. 😅😅
She isn't all that in the face. Her attitude makes it even worse. That show she isn't one of God people. Neither the rest of the staffs
I need to know why she was not disciplined. That’s scary to have someone like her hold so much power smh
What she do so wrong, make memes? Make a small birthday party for a 2 year old? You can't handle a little joy in you life or some jokes? Karen much
Trump
@@thepeacefulbearbeer ok, troll.
@@xalysonx ok karen
@@thepeacefulbearbeer I bet if your mothers gynecologist made jokes around in clinic after her visit, you would find it pretty disrespectful. I'm also pretty sure you wouldn't like it if your boss sent memes and made jokes about overly hairy men every time he saw you, and sent it around at your workplace and to your colleagues. It's all about professionalism (and here also the serious nature of a lot of these cases).
Hearing how offensive the memes were makes me want to see every last one of them.
They aren't going to do anything to her. She's a disgrace
We need to acknowlege that when people become cop's judges, doctor's, nurses. ...toll booth collectors etc. they DON'T always leave their prejudices and bias at the door. They fully display them on the job and it hurts society.
No such thing as non bias. You can attempt it but lawyers are biased as a job description. Defense lawyers for their clients and prosecutors for the state.
Everyone has some kind of bias. It is impossible to be human without some bias. Human beings judge things at first sight. It is just part of being human. NO ONE walking the earth has absolutely ZERO biases.
Reading your comment I couldn't agree more... but I can NOT wrap my brain around it... just disgusting!
I agree but I’m from a very small city where toll booths don’t exist😭😂so that caught me off guard
Lol... tollbooths..kind of a thing from the past! Gotta pay to get in or out!
Of course the dismissed the charges. They will need the same when their own indiscretions come to light. This is what happens when judges judge themselves.
It was probably in return for her resignation.
Or there just wasn't anything there. I haven't seen anything in this report to indicate an actual breach of judicial ethics or ethics of the practice of law. Granted, AZ's rules might differ somewhat from AL's, but we're all reading from the same book.
She exchanged memes with her bailiff and others in her office. -My God, the humanity- lol Can't we find actual corruption and abrogation of rights to worry about?
YUP.
Theres definitely some butts sittin on that bench judging others that need to be judged themselves. Their audacity of feeling comfortable & untouchable is a crime within itself. 🧐
State legislators can also remedy this with actual laws for judges and force DAs to act by law or be subjected themselves.
Then they'll change the law. Immunity......
.
Politicians stop illegal activity???!!! They are too busy getting paid by lobbyists so they can buy second homes on the beach!
More laws??? More laws??? Imbalanced imposition of consequences for breaking law are chaotic!!! We need an OVERHAUL bottom to top and top to bottom
Keep the investigative reporting going. I'm sick of people in power getting away with doing wrong!
ME TOO. WHEN DO THEY STOP AND WE START. IM SO TIRED OF BEING GASLIGHTED AND RULED BY DEVILS.!
@@ENTRANCEOFTRUTH5 I have stated that when are the good people come together as one, and get rid of them by any means.
But they still got away with it anyway. They need to expose the people who did nothing about this too
*Yes, I’m sick and tired of it too.*
This is why they're so eager to get in power!
This woman is horrible. She needs to risign and get help. She has no right to be a judge!
That’s shocking but as a target of workplace bullying myself, I’m not surprised. Well done for coming forward!
Where do you see workplace bullying here?
Good for her this is disgusting. I'm in the medical field and when doctors made fun of some patients I found it appalling, I knew that I could not work in that type of environment. Takes a lot of courage for that lady to do what she did! God bless her
I've had the same experience in the medical field. Never hated people more..
Helen, So didn’t report it? If not that’s appalling on your part.
Doctors have to do stuff like that. They have to maintain a level of disconnect
@@miguel360kmc that’s bc Drs know shite. Nurses, Nurses Assistants, RTs, rad-techs, sitters, transport, pharmacy, even the janitorial crew (tho they’re called environmental cleanup or something like that - depends from hospital to hospital), etc all run the damn show, interact w the patients regularly and know way more of what’s going on w them, what needs done, how they’re improving/declining/plateauing, projecting what’s about to happen, what possible complications are about to happen and actually planning, preparing and treating for them, etc - all way more than the Drs ever will about a singular patient ever!! Ugh. They all have a God complex but are so damn stupid and rely so heavily on nurses to do their damn jobs for them!!! Grrrr.
Well, if you're a garbage type of person who is seen by a doctor/judge you're going to be seen as a garbage type of person. I don't make the jokes but I do like to hear them, makes it easier to deal with the garbage.
The scary part is that there are many Judge Otisis out there and you would never know. A judge like this will give you a harsh sentence or not be fair during just because of what you look like.
All judges are like this.
Well, good morning. Glad you could join us
The judge should look in the mirror before "judging" anyone else!

Truly systemic.
THIS JUDGE IS UNFIT TO SERVE AS A JUDGE OR IN ANY CAPACITY IN LAW ENFORCEMENT. FIRE HER IMMEDIATELY AND CHARGE HER WITH ETHICS VIOLATIONS.
This is disgraceful. It also shows what happens when relationships between people at work go beyond professional.
Why is this disgracefully. they posted some memes, big deal.
p g state ran by p gs in a p g like fashion over brown lives on brown land.... the coming of jesus if not by the big man himself then EVERY enemy you've made along the way
I mean the way Dave Biscobing is exposing corruption in Arizona, I just hope he has a bodyguard. He just don't give a damn 🤣 Real investigative journalism 👏
It's sounds like Arizona's judicial system is rotten from the top down.
He was fired from his last position for sexual harassment at the valley tribune , we should investigate that.
@@TG-sf2dq It was probably a bunch of made up bologna because he uncovered some deep stuff
@@TG-sf2dq Wow!
@@TG-sf2dq Apparently mean emails are more important to people than all the violent criminals being released back into the public every day. I wonder if this guy ever did a story on all the violent repeat offenders who were immediately released only to kill again days later... Or a story on all the rapists and murderers crossing our southern border who we're flying to any city they desire. I bet he's working on that one right now. Personally, if I stood before this judge I'd be more concerned whether she followed the rule of law rather than what was on her computer.
They let a child be a judge…..WELCOME to America people!!! Enjoy your stay! 😊
She wasn’t that bad she allowed that father to spend a birthday with his kids in the courtroom otherwise he may not ever have got to spend a birthday with them
