“Judge Free’s actions have harmed the integrity of and respect for the judiciary.”
—Report of the Louisiana Judiciary Commission on 18th Judicial District Court Judge Robin Free, who accepted a free flight on the private jet of a plaintiff attorney who had just won a $1.2 million settlement of a personal injury case presided over by Free. The seriousness of Free’s breach of ethics notwithstanding, the judicial commission recommended only a 30-day suspension.

Besides the stupidity of the judge’s actions and the slap on the wrist punishment, I find it interesting, particularly in this instance, that it says at the bottom of your blog “Thanks for flying with WordPress.com.” Maybe the judge could book his next flight through your blog.
The judge should have known this would look bad even if he was not influenced in his decision.
