Last month, I wrote on this blog about a judge in the State of Arkansas, #JudgeJoseph Boeckmann who, reportedly, gave lenient sentences to young males in his criminal court in exchange for "community service", community service being posing for the judge taking pictures of the defendants' butts, legs spread - sometimes with clothes, sometimes without.
Here is the "hero" Judge Boeckmann:
Now, reports come out that Judge Boeckmann also forged court records reflecting his sentences in such cases.
While there are reports about a disciplinary investigation against Judge Boeckmann, I did not see reports in the press as yet that Judge Boeckmann was criminally charged - for abuse of office, as well as for forging court documents.
And, the lingering and unsettling question is - many people HAD to know what Judge Boeckmann was doing.
Court personnel, probation HAD to know that Judge Boeckmann was forging court papers.
Moreover, Judge Boeckmann reportedly was not just taking pictures of defendants for his own personal pleasure - but was doing that as "bets with friends".
I wonder - will Judge Boeckmann AND his enablers be investigated, both in court and the "betting" friends?
And, who are the betting friends of Judge Boeckman?
