What kind of lawyer becomes a judge, presides of a murder trial, and spends her time texting the prosecutor--her boyfriend? Well, we might say she is the dis-barred kind. Anna Gardiner, now married to the attorney who defended her at trial, partied with the prosecutor and talked trial trash. Finally the co-prosecutor was so fed u that he blew the whistle. Good grief. Of course I'm glad she was caught, this case does make me question the CLE programs in ethics offered everywhere--except maybe Broward County, Florida. Much of what goes on there is so bizarre that this story probably didn't make front page. I am so, so glad no one I know has to approach the bench there--especially for a serious reason. Seems to me that MURDER is enough of a reason to put the cell phone down and listen to both sides. Maybe now, a few more judges will sit up straight and do what's right. Hope so.
