OAKLAND, Calif. - An Alameda County Superior Court judge was robbed at gunpoint while walking to work at a courthouse in Oakland on Thursday.
Judge Kevin Murphy was starting his day when he was robbed by three masked men of his Rolex watch, wallet and other personal items at gunpoint, the Alameda County Sheriff's Office announced on Thursday.
Murphy was walking from a parking garage to the René C. Davidson Courthouse building, which sits near Lake Merritt, when he was robbed, a source said.

They like them Rolex’s.
I wonder: Will the good judge now be morally obligated to recuse himself from any future cases involving armed robbery?
Regards,
Parking garage at 13th and Madison, probably Alco Park. Just before 9 a.m.
It’s not a BAD neighborhood — it has the public library and a few gov’t buildings — but it’s a good idea to keep your head on a swivel in those surroundings.
It’s also half a block from the McDonald’s at 14th and Jackson, so I suppose the thieves had already enjoyed their morning coffee and were energized for the day’s work.
Bail?
I hope not ... I want to see if he gives them a no cash bail
He could have just become a Conservative......hmmm?
This would never happen to Judge Dredd!
Only fools work around or in oakland anymore.
SF isn’t far behind.
We got retards reenacting 18th century naval battles on 880 using guns on top of all the robberies and other crime going on.
"A new conservative is a liberal who has just been mugged".
Brings to mind Tom Wolfe’s Bonfire of the Vanities and the desciptions of the dangerous surroundings of that Bronx courthouse, and the measures the workers had to take to get there and back safely.
Wait, his name is Murphy? Should’ve gone full Bronson.
So terrible that a county-level public servant was robbed of his Rolex. Whatever shall we do?
insurance scam?
pics or it didn’t happen
Oh the irony
That’s just so sad.
So anyway ....
I have a hard time feeling sorry for the elitists who have to experience what they inflict on the rest of us.
I’m not disappointed that they are not exempt from reality smacking themselves upside the head.
got off easy, hope he was one of the pukes that let these animals out

Out of curiosity, I just looked it up. The cheapest new Rolex costs around $5000. I am amazed by that, as I would have guessed around $500. Anyway, my old $15 Timex watch has taken a licking, but keeps on ticking.
So I don’t think I’ll be trading it in for a Rolex.
