Today's Terrible Judge: Arlene Gonzalez-Sanchez
Former #NewYork Office of Addiction Services and Supports Commissioner #ArleneGonzálezSánchez oversaw a huge increase in #opioid and #fentanyl deaths during her tenure from 2010-2021 . She also proposed mixing resources for the homeless and addicts despite very different treatment schedules and approaches for the two. This week, she was pulled over in #Queens for drunk driving, and while pissing herself she managed to tell the police "commissioner" in an attempt to reduce her sentence.

Today's Terrible Judge: Christina Peterson
#Georgia #SupremeCourt removes county #DouglasCounty probate judge #ChristinaPeterson over ethics charges. Georgia’s highest court on Tuesday ordered the removal of an embattled county probate judge over ethics charges brought by the state’s judicial watchdog agency.
The Georgia Supreme Court issued an opinion removing Douglas County Probate Judge Christina Peterson from office, effective immediately, and prohibiting her from holding any judicial office in the state for seven years. The high court noted that the Judicial Qualifications Commission found that Peterson “exhibited a pattern of judicial misconduct while in office.”
Peterson, 38, was sworn in as probate judge in December 2020, after winning a contested Democratic primary that year and running unopposed in the November general election. She lost the #Democratic primary last month in her bid for reelection. #Peterson has been plagued by ethics charges for much of her tenure and, last week, was arrested after she was accused of pushing a police officer during an early-morning fight at an #Atlanta nightclub. #Bodycam footage shows the fight. This was not Peterson's only ethical charge, as she faced 30 counts of ethical misconduct in #GA .

Today's Terrible Judge: Heiko Halbfas
#Hamburg #Germany District Court Judge #HeikoHalbfas has repeatedly stated he feels sorry for defendants and that justice is a "mass business" . It is this attitude that has seen a Hamburg woman who insulted #migrant rapists on social media jailed for more time than the rapists themselves.
Per #ThePublica , A 20-year-old woman in Hamburg, Germany, has been sent to prison after making “hateful” remarks towards a migrant who was involved in the gang rape of a child. The woman is just one of 140 people being investigated for making “harmful comments” towards the rapists.
The horrific assault took place in 2020, and involved multiple groups of migrant men independently attacking a 14-year-old girl in Hamburg’s Stadtpark over the course of one night. The park had become a popular hang-out spot for youth during the #COVID19 #lockdown and the girl had been there drinking with her friends. But they became scattered after police swept the park and broke up groups while enforcing social distancing measures.
Confused and alone, the girl was defenseless against the first mob of four predators.
The men took turns on the girl, repeatedly raping her over an extended period of time. They robbed her of her wallet and cellphone before leaving her. Traumatized and disoriented from the first attack, and having no method of calling for help, the girl was assaulted a second time by two more men who took advantage of her vulnerable state.
Disturbingly, her assailants had begun inviting other men to rape her via their chat groups, gleefully sharing the news that there was an isolated teenage girl in the dark park with no potential witnesses.
The child was attacked a third time by a single man, and then a fourth time by three more men, who dragged her into a bush and sexually assaulted her.
Finally, the child managed to break away and ran, though pursued by her rapists. Eventually, she came across people who recognized her traumatized state and immediately called the police.
A total of 11 men were initially charged, but two were acquitted quickly due to a lack of DNA evidence. The sperm of nine of the men, however, had been successfully recovered from the girl’s body.
Five of the men were in possession of German passports, while the remainder were not citizens of Germany. Among those charged, none were of German heritage. The rapists were identified as a Pole, an Egyptian, a Libyan, a Kuwaiti, an Iranian, an #Armenian, an #Afghan, a #Syrian, and a #Montenegrin. The men had a team of 20 defense attorneys arguing their innocence.
Videos of the first and third rapes had been recorded and shared by the assailants to contacts through WhatsApp, but the videos were deleted before the case could be heard in court. Witnesses who did see the footage before its deletion did testify that it depicted clear sexual assault, with one noting that the girl had been holding her hands over her head in a protective position.
During the trial, the victim, who now suffers from PTSD as a result of the night of abuse, was called upon to speak about what happened to her. While she recounted her horrific ordeal, the men showed “no signs of remorse” and at least one is said to have almost fallen asleep during proceedings.
However, despite DNA and WhatsApp evidence, eight of the nine men convicted walked free with probation and spent no time in prison at all. The ninth was sentenced to two years and nine months in prison without parole.
The case caused outrage in Germany, both for the brutality of the rape itself and the lenient sentences given to the rapists. As a result, one of the men had his identity and phone number circulated on Snapchat by furious sleuths.
Angered by the news of the case, a 20-year-old woman from Hamburg messaged the number through #WhatsApp. The unnamed woman called him a “dishonorable rapist pig” and a “disgusting miscarriage.” She added: “Aren’t you ashamed when you look in the mirror?”
The targeted rapist then reported the woman to police, and she was charged with sending him insulting messages.
The woman has now been convicted and sentenced to a weekend in prison for her remarks — meaning that she will have spent more time in jail than 8 of the 9 rapists. In court, the woman apologized for her remarks, saying she acted out of a “reflex” upon hearing the sickening details of the case.
But, according to the Hamburger #Abendblatt, this woman is not the only person who could be facing a conviction for insulting the rapists.
Authorities in Hamburg are reportedly investigating 140 people for offenses related to issuing “insult, threats, or other detriment” towards the #Stadtpark predators.

The Original Gold-digger: Peggy Joyce
To Peggy Upton Archer Hopkins Joyce Morner Easton Meyer, born Emma Marguerite Upton on May 26, 1893, this #JazzAge #femmefatale notorious for marrying millionaires (at least 4!), ''true love was a heavy diamond bracelet, preferably one that arrived with its price tag intact.'' A barber's daughter from #Berkley #Virginia now #Norfolk, the blonde was determined not to have ''a dull and dreary life". She ran away at the age of 15 or 16 with a vaudeville cyclist, who was potentially performing at Norfolk’s #GranbyStreet vaudeville theater, which still stands today. She began acquiring a personal history the tabloid press would soon find irresistible, for more reasons than one. Arguably more successful than any tabloid girl today, #PeggyHopkinsJoyce (1893-1957) has been called the original gold digger.

Hate Crime: Leicester Centre
In 2011, a #British girl gang who kicked woman in the head while yelling 'kill the white slag' freed after Judge #RobertBrown hears 'they weren't used to drinking because they're Muslims'. Yobs ripped lump of hair from #RheaPage 's head during High Street attack. Three sisters and cousin escape with six-month suspended sentences. Maximum term for assault occasioning actual bodily harm is five years' jail.
Judge Robert Brown of #Leicester : 'Those who knock someone to the floor and kick them in the head can expect to go inside, but I'm going to suspend the sentence'.
#AmbaroMaxamed 24, students #Ayan #Maxamed 28, and #HiboMaxamed 24, and their 28-year-old cousin #IfrahNur each admitted actual bodily harm, which carries a maximum sentence of five years’ imprisonment.
But Judge Robert Brown gave them suspended jail terms after hearing mitigation that as Muslims, the women were not used to being drunk.
A gang of Muslim women who attacked a passer-by in a city centre walked free from court after a judge heard they were ‘not used to being drunk’ because of their religion.
The group – three sisters and a cousin – screamed ‘kill the white slag’ as they set upon Rhea Page as she waited for a taxi with her boyfriend.
Miss Page, 22, was left with a bald patch where her hair was pulled out in the attack and was left ‘black and blue’ after suffering a flurry of kicks to the head, back, arms and legs while motionless on the pavement.

Today's Terrible Judge: Ian Bourke
Alleged rapist so delusional he believed act was 'morally justified', court told and believed under Judge #IanBourke of #Sydney #australia. A man accused of raping a woman at knifepoint was so delusional at the time of his offending he believed the alleged attack was morally justified, a court has been told.
#KhateebullaMirza is accused of breaking into a random woman's apartment at #Auburn, in Sydney's western suburbs, and raping the occupant at knifepoint while recording the encounter on his phone.
In the hours leading up to the attack, #Mirza is also alleged to have indecently touched a woman's breast in the Inner West suburb of #Marrickville. A month earlier, the 38-year-old allegedly touched a woman on the backside outside a building in #Zetland, in the city's inner south.
Mirza pleaded not guilty to eight charges, including sexual touching without consent, aggravated sexual intercourse without consent and assault.
He is facing a judge-alone trial in Sydney's Downing Centre District Court after claiming a defence of mental impairment.
Today, crown witness and forensic psychiatrist #DavidGreenberg, who met with Mirza twice after the alleged crimes, told the court the 38-year-old truly believed he was being programmed to commit offences.
"All three offences in his mind were morally justified because he was in a game being programmed, that controlled his behaviour was justified even though it was legally wrong," he said.
Mirza was previously involuntarily hospitalised in a mental health unit, where he began taking anti-psychotic medication.
