The infamous Judge Sloop

Judge In Hot Water Over Courtroom Oops

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us You know I always wonder about the kind of people who sit on these judges benches and pass judgment over people. Judge Sloop shown here, looking like the severe old headmaster from Grange Hill, is one of those judges that I'd worry about. The kind with very little common sense.
The defendants were directed by summons and the court staff to a courtroom next door to Sloop's. When people realized they were in the wrong room, Sloop refused to listen to them or withdraw arrest warrants issued in their absence.

The defendants were handcuffed, taken to jail and held for about eight hours

And doing a little goggle on Judge Sloop, here he is counting the ballots on the American election day. Funny how there was such a hue and cry over that when officials were alledgedly completing absentee ballot request forms in the favor of President Bush. And there he is with the woman accused (Sandra Goard) helping her.

In the Seminole County case, elections supervisor Sandra Goard admitted she allowed Republican officials to fill in the numbers and said it was the first time she had done so



Maybe he's ready for retirement?
