The judge should have been removed from the bench.

I wonder if she's related to Maria Lopez?

Wouldn't be surprised if Judge Karen is yet another liberal "slap on the wrist" judge intent on feeling sorry for the bad guys.

I honestly do not know how police officers and judges tolerate being lied to so much...I love watching 'Cops' just to see the dirt bags lie and lie and lie again to the cops.

If the judge thought the guy was lying, which she obviously did, I think she can say anything she wants.

This doesn't appear to have been a jury proceeding.

"I think if you listen to Jon Lovitz, you might get an impression of how I felt when I was listening to this testimony," Uplinger said in court, according to the commission.

Sheesh. Big deal.

"As Nushwat was reading a statement during a sentencing hearing, Uplinger told defendant Artis Bey: "You don't have to listen to this if you don't want to."

Doesn't sound too bad. I assume this is the offending remark.

Nushwat

Does anyone want to rearrange the letters of that?

I wonder what most people would do if you brought your new car into the dealer for a "clanking" noise and the manager called you a "liar"?

I believe this was written precisely to NOT sound too bad. Notice the whole article is about her mockery using the SNL character, but we are never told the insulting line?

I saw AP at the top of the story and thought "watch how they protect this judge", sure enough they lead us around and give us a watered down and vague "offense".

The judiciary is the Left's main source of power, I'm not surprised that they will be at pains to make good judges appear bad and bad judges appear good, or at least tolerable.

Technique #22 on my homepage talks about confusing readers with bogus goose chases, in this case we're left debating what exactly we think she said, not what she did say. We're prevented from discussing what really occurred because we were never told that. I think that was by design.

This Judge made her statement during the sentencing stage, so we know 2 things for certain: she mocked the victim and joked with the felon. We also know that she was censured.

Still LOL?

The commission said the judge compared Nushwat to Pathological Liars Anonymous member Tommy Flanagan, an SNL character created by Jon Lovitz...

Specifically, "I think if you listen to Jon Lovitz, you might get an impression of how I felt when I was listening to this testimony," Uplinger said in court, according to the commission.

I would have liked some more facts from the case. Can't tell if the judge had cause to make the comment she did. Mocking and demeaning, that seems a bit of a stretch. Now Jon Lovitz, on the other hand, may have some valid complaint here.

I thought that was SOP, especially if the vehicle is brought in by a woman...
