A tale of Judicial #legalethics ⚖️ & how differently discipline is applied to those in the robes. #lawtwitter

1/ Judge, drunk driving, crashing into things, dashcam'ed and put on Youtube. (vid: )

2/ Gets out after wreck, lies to bystanders, leaves the scene of the accident.

3/ Comes back to accident scene, lies about the accident to police, claims to have only "had two beers."

4/ Lies more to police, then blow .25 - Judge is wasted.

FIN/ But he's remorseful! Because of that, even though the judge was drunk & crashed on Youtube, we're confident that a censure will be enough to "maintain public confidence in the integrity of the judiciary."

Discipline: Censure. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
