In April of this year I wrote about a "crying judge" out of New Jersey - a judge who subjected litigants and attorneys to sexual and insulting remarks in the courtroom - until they could not tolerate that any more (and usually, attorneys are very scared of judges and do not report judicial misconduct, so, in order to have it reported, remarks had to be really bad).
It was reported that the judge was disciplined - but only with a reprimand.
Because, I guess, he cried at his hearing.
And the disciplinary commission sympathized with him.
So, he can remain on the bench and to the same to other people - because such an attitude in a very adult male will not be eradicated or deterred by a reprimand.
Litigants and attorneys appearing in front of New Jersey judge Joseph Portelli - prepare for more abuse.
And for retaliation for turning him in and for his "crying" embarrassment and humiliation.
I will monitor Judge Portelli's further conduct through the press, public documents, social media and feedback from my readers and will report it on this blog.
Stay tuned.
