Elizabeth Halverson is a judge. But the way courthouse staffers see it, she expects to be treated like a queen. |
Her former bailiff, for example, says Halverson made him feel like a “houseboy.” He says the judge — who is obese and uses a motorized scooter to get around — made him put her shoes on her feet, massage her back, cover her with a blanket for naps and make sure her oxygen tank was filled. He says she asked him, “Do you want to worship me from near or afar?”
Halverson also surrounded herself with her own hired guards, saying she did not trust the courthouse security force to protect her. Another time, she allegedly had her husband sworn in so that she could ask him under oath whether he had completed chores at home.
Since then, the 50-year-old Nevada district judge has been locked out of her Las Vegas courtroom, suspended from the bench and brought up on judicial-misconduct charges that include not only misusing her position and treating her staff like personal valets but also tainting juries and falling asleep on the bench…
Many lawyers are unwilling to talk publicly about the case because of the powerful figures involved, but expect the proceedings to be entertaining, to say the least.
How did we ever beat Uncle Dave to this one…?
Thanks, K B
Please pass me the eye bleach!
Our local Circuit Court Judge passed out drunk on the bench and then defecated in his drawers.
there isn’t enough jesus juice in the world
#2: I lived in Las Vegas for 4 years. It is indeed the weirdest city I’ve ever lived in. The strange judge and here odd demands are almost on the normal side of weird compared to some of the strange goings-on in that town, like the gang battle that erupted in a locals casino a couple of years ago, or the many very odd people that almost live in their favorite casinos.
Maybe the casinos attract people that are particularly weird to live in LV. Doesn’t say much for Uncle Dave and me,though…
Nothing beats the judge who used to masturbate on the bench.
Remember the saying “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas” Let’s hope that she does stay in Vegas an not hop on her scooter and head to Florida!
i’m at a loss for words – and my lunch
From the state that first gave us “C.S.I.” the Tv series (not the cult). Nevada. We also get this kind of judge voted into office. Are the citizens of NV totally out of it? It’s most likely the casino owners who keep her in office. She most know what skeletons are in who’s closets.
# 7 bh28630, it’s not pathetic. It’s normal, natural, obvious. She’s repulsive, and there is no avoiding the fact that her UTTER REPUSIVENESS is part of the story. Pretend otherwise all you want, you’re just whistling dixie.
She’s always been ugly, at least on the outside.
