What is judicial misconduct in Mississippi is business as usual in New York

In Mississippi, a judge was just reprimanded for, among other things, enrolling criminal defendants in drug court who did not volunteer (because such enrollment presupposes a plea to the criminal offense, and waiver of multiple constitutional rights).

In New York, Judge Mulvey who ORDERED a judge (Madison County Judge Biaggio DiStefano) to do just that, enroll defendants into drug court while they did not volunteer - was promoted to the Appellate Division instead of being disciplined, and the judge who insisted on following the law, Judge Biaggio DiStefano, was first demoted by Judge Mulvey and then forced into early retirement, see my blog about that here.

So - what is judicial misconduct in Mississippi, is apparently, not only business as usual, but a basis for rewards to the corrupt judge.

No wonder people are running from New York.
