So whatever happened to suspending or firing somebody for not doing their job? This is what the court system should be spending their time on? Since when is sloughing-off your clerk job a crime? So the Post Office worker that decides not to come to work today gets a warrant put out for their arrest? So now it's jail time for the DMV clerk that just doesn't feel like issuing drivers licenses today, right? I'm not understanding why a court is involved in any of this.
When this is over, this woman will get an undisclosed settlement and back-pay. There is no way in hell that the local government followed their due-process rules. This is like running a person off to debtors' prison for not feeding the parking meter.
