ABC15 exposes ‘astonishing and horrific’ conduct by judge, staff in major cases

"We investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong"

She is too immature to be a judge, plain to see.

That judge should be banned from any legal jurisdiction period. How vile and unethical can one be.

I dated a judge for a few months from my hometown and we would go out in the evenings and he would drink ALOT and then drive. He had NO fear of driving under the influence as he knew there would be no repercussions. Needless to say, I lost all respect for him and never went out with him again. Some judges and prosecutors are corrupt and need to lose their positions.

Why was she not disbarred for unethical conduct as a bar attorney?

You wonder why judges forbid cameras in the courtroom or sometimes even in the building. Shouldn't give that kind of unbridled power

Thank you to both the whistleblower and to the journalists investigating judicial misconduct.

It’s not just about the memes, it’s about the judge - She’s a narcissist with no empathy, and should NOT be a judge. A narcissist is individualistic, NOT INCLUSIVE.

During my dads murder trial, while a graphic picture of the gunshot wound to his head was displayed on a projector, the presiding judge broke out into a bout of laughter after looking at something one of his assistants showed him. When I got upset and asked what was so funny, the bailiff told me to sit down and be quiet, the judge continued to converse with his assistant and chuckle. I never felt so mad and hopeless, and I'm supposed to call him your honor? Rise when he enters the courtroom? Not a chance. His name is John Knodell, Grant County wa superior Court, and he lost all respect from me that day

This reminds me of the surgeon who got caught mocking his patient under anesthesia. Professionalism matters, people.

The perfect example of how our system lets us down.

It's astonishing that some people never grow out of their adolescence. I expect more maturity from a judge.

Ridiculous. Erin Otis should never be a judge again nor should she be a prosecutor.

Wow she put a lot on the line to speak out. Good for her. Glad this story is being told.

She looks more like "Elvira" than a judge. 😂

Dear Ms Thank you for coming forth! Who knows how many others have this same Conduct! DISGUSTING & DESPICABLE

Misconduct by people in power is NEVER an isolated incident or restricted to one type of misconduct!

If the judge was proven guilty, then they would have to question every judgment she made. What a Justice system.

They dismissed the complaint...WOW!!!!

If I was a defense attny, I'd try & impeach her "character" every chance I could.
