Newberry Judge Charged with Embezzlement

The justice system is very wack. It 's the unjust judges that are making and passing judgement and they are not living up to par. If police officers and judges can walk away for killing human beings (referring to Micheal Bell) and Michael Vick has to serve time and loose his career behind killing dogs(although it is wrong), then this judge should also loose her career and never pass judgement again. If I am wrong, then I asked the good Lord to forgive me.

Somewhat related: I had jury duty recently and prior to the judge entering the room, the associate made everyone put away cell phones and spit out chewing gum. Then, the judge comes strolling in chewing gum with a phone on his hip.
Some judge's truly feel that they are above the law and better than others.
If proven guilty, this judge's greed got the best of her. Of course the system is broke if she was allowed to get away with it in the first place.
Unsolicited tip: Lead by example

It's not "against the law" to chew gum or possess a cell phone in a court of law. It is usually the judges' rules to not chew gum or have a cell phone on in their court room - so there's no such thing as "lead by example" in your case, because their rules only apply to those people brought before the udge... and that's perfectly acceptable.
There have actually been cases argued in the past wherein people found guilty of crimes later recanted their testimony saying they were misunderstood because of a wad of gum in their mouth... The removal of gum then removes the possibility of this from happening so judges usually adopt that policy. It can also be a complee distraction to talk to someone who has no gum-chewing ettiquette,,,
Regarding the cell phones - well, that is simplay a huge distraction... Remember the last time you were in a movie theater and heard a phone ring?

Hey, stupid, from what walmart or bar stool did you get your law degree from? Because, Ms. Judge Judy wanna be, you are A: Wrong, B: Stupid, C: Probably butt ugly and a Bendick college drop out. Get your legal advice from a real lawyer before you stupid up your life even more.
