Il CattivoNormally I'd think this might end up being no big deal, but the perjury charge makes this look like it might wind up being interesting.

HighZonieMore stories like this would help correct the pervasive "sanctuary city" problem of obstruction of justice in prosecution of Federal cases.

gearhoundsThrow the book at him and have him removed for an extreme conflict of interest. He has no place meting out justice if he himself is weighing the scales one way or the other. Fucking Masshole commie.

The judge is a woman.
And I hope the full weight of justice comes down on her.

MicropterusI hope she is not only found guilty, but that she has to pay the cost of catching the person she let slip out the back door.

0658This is certainly the feel good story of the day.
Now if they would do it a hundred times over, it might start to have an effect on these sanctuary city Judges, Chief's, and Sheriffs.

HCMBoth the Judge and a Court Officer were charged with obstruction, and conspiracy. The Officer was the one who used his key card to let the illegal out the back door and is also the one charged with perjury, not the judge.
You can read the indictment here:

mikeyspizzaI hope they both lose their jobs, get a record, etc. And by the way, the guy they let escape got caught a month later.

OzarkwoodsI am hoping for a conviction, and if found guilty she loses the ability to judge. But most likely she will play the pleading game and have it reduced to Mopery with intent to creep.

mbinkyExcellent! He is an article from a web site called Turtle Boy. They routinely post stories about the crap that goes on in Mass. My brother in law turned me on to the app when I was up there. Some of the articles will crack you up!
http://tbdailynews.com/index.p...ust-be-a-good-thing/ Maura Healey Is Mad That Judge Shelley Joseph Was Indicted For Conspiring To Let An Illegal Immigrant Drug Dealer Escape, So It Must Be A Good Thing
Four months ago we published this blog about a Newton Judge who did something so outrageous you had to look at it twice to make sure you weren’t reading The Onion: A Judge helped a criminal run from law enforcement? Come on now. I know it’s Massachusetts, but this couldn’t possibly be real. Except it was. I get having sympathy for illegal immigrants who are in a bind. But this? This is a career criminal who’s been twice deported and was in court for selling drugs. He’s not here to clean your hotel room or pick grapes in the fields. He’s here to sell poison to children until they die. No rational person sees a guy like this and envisions him one day going on to become a productive, law abiding member of society. This is a Judge openly conspiring in a courtroom to aid an abet a criminal so that he could evade law enforcement. Not just any Judge though. This was a newly appointed woke Charlie Baker Judge. She’s not like the regular judges you’re used to. She’s a cool judge. Anyway, we covered this story but it didn’t really catch on with the mainstream media since it doesn’t fit their agenda. I actually forgot about it because the left does so many crazy things on a day to day basis that you forget about that time a Judge conspired with an attorney to guide a criminal to an escape route out the backdoor of a Newton courthouse. Next thing you know a 16 year old smiles at a Native American banging a drum in his face and you’re like, “Judge who?” But what I saw today is exactly why I will enthusiastically vote for Donald Trump in 2020: The U.S. Attorney, an employee of the federal government, is charging a state judge for violating federal laws. This is what it looks like when justice is restored to a lawless society. No other administration would have the balls to pull a stunt like this. Credit where credit’s due. It’s just so refreshing because judges in this state get away with murder. Literally. Police officers like Michael Chesna, Ron Tarentino, and Sean Gannon are all dead because our “woke” justice system is filled with judges and parole boards that believe criminals can just stop being criminals if we keep giving them chances. But we can’t remove these judges because that would require the State Legislature and Governor’s Council to vote on it, and 80-90% of the people who comprise these bodies subscribe to the political ideology of these judges. A system like this cannot reform itself without federal intervention. Just look at the way our chief law enforcement officer handled the news and you’ll realize what a great day this is: She’s “deeply disappointed” that the US Attorney did his job and held a criminal responsible for her crimes against the state. She’s not so disappointed with the Judge who openly plotted with a defense attorney and a court officer to help a career criminal evade justice. If Maura Healey is upset about it then you know it’s a good thing.April 26, 2019, 07:43 AM

A Massachusetts judge left the courtroom in tears Thursday after being indicted for obstruction of justice stemming from an incident during which she allegedly helped an illegal alien escape arrest by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
“Judge Shelley M. Richmond Joseph and trial court officer Wesley MacGregor are accused of conspiring to prevent Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from taking an undocumented immigrant into custody at Newton District Court on April 2, 2018,” said Daily Mail. “Joseph was seen crying when she left federal court in Boston Thursday.”
Her attorney, Tom Hoopes, reportedly proclaimed her innocence outside the courthouse.
“This prosecution is absolutely political,” he said. “Shelley Joseph is absolutely innocent.”

No the prosecution is not political. But the act that caused it was.

sdy https://hotair.com/archives/20...e-salary-reinstated/Last we heard from Massachusetts Judge Shelley Joseph, accused of conspiring to help a criminal illegal alien evade ICE agents in her courtroom, she had turned down a plea deal that would have allowed her to avoid jail time. As such, she remains free on her own recognizance but suspended without pay while awaiting trial. Her attorneys are trying to change that, however, and are asking that the judge’s salary be reinstated because her legal fees are mounting.
Shelley Joseph, the district court judge who was indicted on obstruction charges for allegedly helping an undocumented immigrant escape federal detention, is seeking to have her salary reinstated as she remains on suspension and her legal bills mount.
Joseph, 51, was suspended without pay by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court after a federal grand jury indicted her April 25.
On Thursday, her lawyers filed a motion with the SJC requesting that her annual salary of $181,000 be reinstated while the case winds its way through federal court in Boston.
The Boston Herald reports that a Massachusetts attorney and friend of Joseph’s has started a GoFundMe page to raise money for her legal bills. As of this writing, the crowdfunding effort has raised $59,368 of their $750,000 goal from 525 donors. (That’s an average donation of more than 100 dollars.)
The attorney’s name is Alan Fanger and he’s going to want to be careful not to cause even more trouble through this effort. If Joseph accepts this sort of help from that many people and eventually returns to the bench, she would obviously have to recuse herself if any of them ever appeared before her in the future. Fanger claims that he’s carefully reviewing all donations and not allowing any attorneys to donate. But he’s also asked that all donations be made anonymously.

CQB60Massachusetts is a socialist enclave. Hope the feds nail her and she is disbarred for her convictions. Speaking of which, hope she also gets a lovely 10-15 year sentence. Hope she likes lesbos as much as she likes illegals...
