Lopez resigns, denies misdeeds (Mass Judge Who Freed Transexual Child Molester)

Boston Globe ^ | 5-20-03 | Ralph Ranalli

[Lance Romance]

By resigning, Lopez ended a tumultuous three-year battle to salvage her judicial career, opting for a far harsher punishment than the six-month suspension recommended by E. George Daher, retired chief judge of the Housing Court, while ignoring Daher's other recommendation, that she apologize for her conduct on the bench.

Lopez's resignation, submitted by her lawyers because she was in her native Cuba on a legal and cultural exchange program, was effective at 3 p.m. yesterday.

I'm sure Oliver Stone is buying her a latte and mojito as I type. She was a scumbag that couldn't admit she was wrong. Good riddance, I hope she stays in Cuba. We don't want her.

...ended a ''distinguished career'' in public service.

God save us from this kind of "distinguished career" and public service. Sounds like she's a legend in her own mind.

[chatham]

I certainly hope that she wasn't entitled to a retirement Pension? Please say it isn't so!!!

[theDentist]

3 years for her to do the right thing. And they have so many others on the bench who are more aggregious than she.

[Joe Driscoll]

That would be my guess too. I would have thought that the reporter would have covered this angle.
Oh, it's the Globe... Nevermind

[Diogenesis]

This proves there is NO accountability in the MASS judiciary.

[justshutupandtakeit]

A little good news to brighten a damp, dismal day.

[chatham]

There is very little in the way of accountability in the Peoples Republic of Massachusetts, it is probably the nearest state to pure Socialism that there is.

[CatoRenasci]

Well her career was certainly distinguished my misbehavior.

What a record:

poverty lawyer

appointed by Dukakis (of Willie Horton's parole fame)

consistenly hostile to the prosecution

lets a pedophile off basically scot-free

quits rather than apologize

is off in Cuba (in cahoots with Castro and his Commies?)

I say disbar the person for unethical conduct on the bench.

[ctlpdad]

thank God that nasty evil scum of the earth is no longer a judge. she is darn near as evil ar Hillary!

[hellinahandcart]

Mindich said that he had spoken by phone to his wife in Cuba at 7:20 a.m. yesterday and that she said, ''Sweetheart, I feel liberated.''

Well, isn't that special...

[pitinkie]

Dont forget ordered Medicaid to pay for a Transsexuals breast implant replacements!

[Thumper1960]

She probably dragged the case out the three years just so she'd be eligible.

BTW....."incapable of lying"????

THAT is a lie, in itself!

The irony is so....ironic.
