Your Honor, You've Been Served

Posted on March 08, 2009
Judge Paul Cosgrove was already having a bad day. He was at a meeting of the full Canadian Judicial Council, trying to keep his job. (A panel of 5 judges had voted 4-1 to remove him.) And at that meeting (per the Globe and Mail) ... Adding to Judge Cosgrove's woes, security was so lax at the Council meeting that a man who managed to plant himself in front of him at one point interrupted the hearing to angrily serve Judge Cosgrove with what he claimed were legal papers...

The 20th Time? Definitely NOT A Charm

Posted on February 26, 2009
Certainly all relationships have their ups and downs, but this is ridiculous. Chalie Simon, a 19-year-old sophomore at the University of Colorado, and her ex-boyfriend had, according to him, broken up about 20 times over the course of a year! I'm guessing that he broke up the 20th time, and here's why, as reported by The Boulder Daily Camera: Cmdr...

What Family Wouldn't Be Proud To Have Two Brothers Who Are Judges?

Posted on February 25, 2009
Perhaps there is one such family. It involves something that has probably never happened before, nor is it likely to ever happen again. On the same day, the New York Commission on Judicial Conduct found that two brothers should be removed from the bench...

Doesn't Know ... From A Hole In The Ground ...

Posted on February 24, 2009
I think it's safe to say that virtually everyone has heard the expression "doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground." With that in mind, here's an excerpt below from a Florida disciplinary case against Dr. G.K. Dwarka Nath: 37. The pathology report for the "colonoscopy" biopsy found benign squamous mucosa ...

Damn Skunk Lover

Posted on February 22, 2009
What do you do to a guy who feels bad for a trapped animal frying in the sun (with no food or water) so he moves the cage? You arrest him, of course. No worries, though. Read on (from UPI): Charges were dropped Thursday against a Utah man who moved a city-owned skunk trap into the shade because he felt sorry for the animal inside...

Teacher Hair Today, Gone ...

Posted on February 20, 2009
Since the Juice is against school dress codes, how do you think he feels about "hair" codes? Check this out, from The Hindu (the "Online edition of India's National Newspaper"): In a bizarre incident, a teacher snipped off the hair of five students in a school in Burdwan district of West Bengal for allegedly not adhering to the institute?s code of conduct related to hairdo...

DUI Judge - Now The Juice Is REALLY Ticked Off

Posted on February 19, 2009
A few days ago, I had a post on Ohio Judge James Heath. He essentially walked after a DUI and a refusal. After having seen the YouTube video of his arrest below, now I am really incensed. Judge Heath repeatedly tried to used his position as a judge to weasel out of the arrest...

So What's Wrong With Returning A Lobster?

Posted on February 18, 2009
Like many shoppers before him, Mr. Walter Tessier walked into a grocery store (in Amsterdam, New York) and bought a lobster. He later returned to the store claiming that the lobster was bad, and exchanged it for a bag of king crab legs. So whatsamatta? Just this: the lobster shell was empty! As reported by The Times Union: When confronted, the man with a passion for seafood ran from the store with the bag of crab legs in hand, they said...

Tenure Is Awesome! Just Ask This Teacher ...

Posted on February 17, 2009
The headline from the story by WXYZ in Detroit sums it up nicely: "Teacher By Day, Inmate By Night." For 30 days anyway, when Mr. Donald Colpaert is not teaching social studies to middle schoolers in Macomb County, he's in jail. Here's an exchange between WXYZ reporter Heather Catallo and Mr...

Must Be Nice To Be A Judge

Posted on February 16, 2009
How does a Judge who refused to take a Breathalyzer test, and gets arrested for DUI, and has his license suspended for one year, essentially walk? I don't know. But that's what happened to Warren County (Ohio) Common Pleas Judge James Heath. And on top of that, apparently as recorded in the police video of the incident, Judge Heath tried to weasel out of the DUI...

Memo To Judge: "This Is Bullshit"

Posted on February 15, 2009
That's what Natasha Riley, not pleased with the way things were going for her client, said to Judge Mangano in the Brooklyn Family Court during a custody proceeding. But Judge Mangano would have the last laugh. Because most lawyers aren't dumb enough to address a judge that way [even if it is bullshit!], Judge Mangano became suspicious...

Teacher's Abscence Definitely Not Excused

Posted on February 14, 2009
How come nothing this exciting ever happened in my school? If they didn't already know about prostitutes, students at the Western Intermediate School in Bellefontaine, Ohio now do, courtesy of fourth grade teacher Amber Carter. And yes, "Amber" is her real name...

Not Your Average Armed Robbery

Posted on February 13, 2009

Just Two Drinks? Really? And You Said What To The Police - On Video?

Posted on February 12, 2009
Connecticut Judge E. Curtissa Cofield said she had one beer and one mixed drink three hours before her blood alcohol level came in at .17, more than twice the legal limit.

Here's what Andrew Allen admitted stealing from a home in Blackpool, England, per the Blackpool Gazette: "He stole a dustpan and brush, a cat basket, a trowel and lawn feeder, a basket with tools and a gardening glove."

Banned, Convicted Sexual Assaulter Hypnotherapist Awarded Damages For Distress And Anxiety

Posted on February 10, 2009

What's Up, Doc?

Posted on February 09, 2009
Maybe I've seen too many "Nip/Tuck" commercials recently, but wouldn't you think that the plastic surgeon who specialized in breast enhancement would be the one who left his spouse and was asking for a divorce? Such was not the case with former New Hampshire doctor James Kartell...

You Think Einstein Used Ecstacy?

Posted on February 08, 2009
Okay, so it's not like a lot of smart people ingest a pill of unknown origin from a drug dealer but... Emma Louise Fischer and Tara Jay Loane, both age 21, definitely put some distance between themselves and the rest of the ecstacy pack. It all started when the police busted a drug dealer, and started checking the numbers on his cell phone...

Holster That Taser, Bro

Posted on February 07, 2009
A 14-year-old Canadian girl was arrested for being drunk and disorderly (she later pleaded guilty) and was placed in a cell. Maybe it's just me, but how much of a threat can a girl that age - in a jail cell - be? As reported by canada.com: Roberts [the family's lawyer] said the two officers used the conductive energy device after the girl had been ?sporadically peeling paint from the walls of her jail cell...
