Before Judge Jimenez submitted the letter to Rundle, the ASA handling the case said that she had "no objection" to Judge Jimenez sending Rundle the letter. Conveniently, they used the submission of that same letter to cry foul. <br /><br />As all prosecutors, criminal judges and criminal defense lawyers know, it is routine to discuss settlement negotiations in chambers and off the record. The State took those discussions, which were frank and off the record, and made them public and for the record. That's as back-stabbing as it gets.<br /><br />Rundle has stepped in this one - big time. She stood on her soap-box, accusing the MNW high school principal of a crime for something which is not criminal. Clearly, Judge Jimenez (and any other sane judge with an ounce of sense) knew this and told them so (as any real criminal judge does, off the record). Because Rundle is seeking to get this guy - no matter what -she decided to seek out another judge to try to work her political magic. <br /><br />It still remains true - what happens in Chambers stays in Chambers. I hope all other criminal judges take note because it can happen to you too.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-81597536048110546932009-09-28T08:02:30.499-04:002009-09-28T08:02:30.499-04:004:51- and just whose name is associated with that ...4:51- and just whose name is associated with that comment so that if someone Googles that name that comment will appear? The simple fact of the matter is that you and I and that commentator know the reason why a particular ASA was asked to leave. And one wonders whether her personnel file has that real reason? But her name was not released to the press as being fired for having a substance abuse problem and while a large part of the criminal legal community is aware of it, it has not been publicized in the media in any form, and that includes the blog.Rumpolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08380575650255695462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-68710041421903966242009-09-27T17:42:15.738-04:002009-09-27T17:42:15.738-04:00Two reactions:

Clearly, the use of the very drugs which you claim violates the peace and dignity of the state while prosecuting some poor minority group member who has been charged in circumstances where a white person would not even have been stopped, does create issues dealing with recusal. Castigating someone for suggesting that some ASAs smoke weed as being unfounded may be true, but it is a relatively safe bet that somewhere amoung those 300 or so attorneys, some inhaling is taking place. Whether you believe that the use of weed or cocaine should be legalized or not, you surely shouldn't prosecute someone if you smoke yourself.<br /><br /> Second, Judge Jimenez got a raw deal on this one. Apparently, our S.A. was herself present in the courtroom for this very important case.<br /><br /> By recusing himself, the judge was being super-cautious. Suggesting in a plea discussion that he personally believes based on the evidence that he has seen that an acquittal will result is not grounds for disqualification where the case is to be tried to a jury. This judge is willing to try a case any day, any time, and actually looks for cases when he is slow. He also tries to resolve cases when he can. Silly him, he should simply have tried the case and maybe gotten soem good T.V. shots of him looking judicious.<br /><br /> The community is apparently outraged at this witch hunt, where a highly-respected principal is being persecuted in a case where the SA wants his career, an apology, and a conviction - where the principal refuses to do because he cannot without violating principle.<br /><br /> I have not seen any evidence that Judge Jimenez beats the State over the head at all. My view is that he is more than fair to the State. In fact, I have objected in court on more tahn one occasion when I thought he was being more than fair to the state.<br /><br /> I think he was ambushed, and it is to his credit that he at least was up front and told them instead of harboring ill will. In fact, if he is really pissed, and I would be if I were him, my bet is that he will step away from any case involving those folks until he believes that he will not be biased against them.<br /><br /> I guess we look forward to yet another proceeding before what will be about the fourth or fifth judge, but the high side is at least it will quash the view that our SA never comes to the courthouse.

I apologize for the bad picture. <br /><br />The point, however, is that you can post anonymously all you like, but when you make criminal accusations like this dickhead at 4:34, you need to man up and at least let us know who you are. To say that a former ASA was "caught using drugs," is more than just fodder for discussion on an internet blog. It can end a career. <br /><br />If you're going to accuse an attorney of using drugs in a public forum, you better have some proof and you better sign your name. That's all.<br /><br />Eric MathenyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-52186945505379895692009-09-26T23:18:52.840-04:002009-09-26T23:18:52.840-04:00lollolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-236206491509729362009-09-26T23:18:28.665-04:002009-09-26T23:18:28.665-04:00Judge Jimenez Rocks.
