PROSECUTE, NOT CODDLE
This is concerning Judge Gilbert.
Why isn't this judge in jail rather than contemplating a vacation? Public
trust and integrity demands that judges who break the law - especially drug
laws, which form half the court's docket - spend time behind bars. At a
minimum, the judge should be removed from office. The citizenry certainly
isn't getting its money's worth from a judge who, by virtue of his vices,
cannot preside over cases more significant than small claims and
landlord-tenant matters. The judge should be immediately removed from office
and criminally prosecuted, not coddled.
