Another one being removed from the bench
And another one's gone, another one's gone
Another one off the bench!
Hey! Gonna get you, too!
Another one's off the bench.

I heard Freddie Mercury’s voice singing as I read this. I hope others appreciate your reference as I did.

sdyDouglas County Probate Judge Christina Peterson, 38, was removed from the bench effective Tuesday. The Georgia Supreme Court ruling comes after the Judicial Qualifications Commission found Peterson guilty of "systemic incompetence" and recommended her removal in April.
In one misconduct case, the court was troubled by Peterson’s decision to jail a naturalized U.S. citizen who was born in Thailand after the woman sought to amend her marriage license with the name of her real father.
Peterson ruled the woman was trying to defraud the court and sentenced her to a maximum of 20 days in jail, which could be reduced to two days if the woman paid a $500 fine. The woman paid the fine and was released after two days.
The panel, however, found that the woman was "in good faith trying to correct" what appeared to be "an innocent mistake borne out of ignorance rather than ill-intent," according to the court documents.
This was one of 30 counts brought against Peterson. The court found that 12 of those counts warranted discipline.
"Accordingly, it is ordered that Judge Christina Peterson of the Douglas County Probate Court be removed from office, effective upon the date of this opinion," the court ruled, noting that Peterson will not be eligible to be elected or appointed to any future judicial position in Georgia for seven years.
As Peterson was dealing with the misconduct allegations, she was arrested early Thursday at the Red Martini Restaurant and Lounge after allegedly pushing an Atlanta police officer in the chest twice during an altercation.

parabellumThat sums it up. The color of her skin. That was her qualification, and I'll bet if a lawyer quizzed her on the law and the constitution, she wouldn't be able to come up with coherent answers to most questions.

RogueJSKImagine that.
A judge who was elected after a mere
7 years as a lawyer turns out to be incompetent at her job.
This is my shocked face.

parabellumThis is a severe problem in Atlanta city government, a problem which cannot be overstated. There is no way to correct it. Fani Willis is far from unique. This idiot of a now-former judge is indicative of that. These two have been brought to light because of circumstances; one was exposed because of the prominence of a particular defendant she seeks to prosecute, and the other one was made conspicuous by a drunken tirade which was fortunately well-documented, but, believe me, these moronic dipshits are everywhere in Fulton County government.

I hope that her judicial salary was terminated, but I wouldn’t be surprised to learn otherwise.
She’ll probably soon be a “diversity” hire.
