On Feb 29, 2020, she admitted to sufficient facts and was place on probation for a year. She has been ordered to stay away from the victim, comply with any temporary orders in probate and family court, abide by restraining order, continue with weekly individual counselling w/ <some person>, Attend monthly group meetings with no less than three people, run by <same person>, provide reports from group to probation, sign releases to probation, No abude, report to be monthly minimum, Victim witness gee of $50, probation supervision fee of $65/month, and Domestic Violence fee of $50.

What is significant is that she is NOT required to complete the batterer's program, which is generally a given. In fact, she tried pleading the case out in January, but withdrew it because the judge wanted to impose the batterer's program. I guess they convinced him otherwise. The same judge heard both pleas.

Since there's still a restraining order in place, it's safe to assume she still doesn't have her LTC. If she was a commoner, there would be zero chance she'd ever get it back.

Does she still get to sit on the bench?

There would be a certain irony if the gun were in the safe hands of a bonded warehouse.

If the mag ban goes in effect in Massachusetts, she wont have time to register her mags.

Does she think she can keep her hi caps?

Do judges get a LEO exemption?

Imagine making MA judge money and buying a Ruger......

What kind of money are they paying her? Like State Trooper money?

Hey, maybe she is good at her job, but the idea that this friggin train wreck of a person sits in judgement of others everyday scares the shit out of me. Thunderdome

The salaries of the justices of the trial court shall be paid by the commonwealth. Each associate justice shall receive a salary of $184,694.

That's about starting salary for a newly-hired associate at a big firm in Boston.

Apparently, she did not, so the judge pleaded out and got a CWOF.

The state can prosecute without a witness - generally on the basis of "this crime is so serious we prosecute not matter what, besides, that policy keeps the CWOFs rolling and and the ADAs get to count that as a win on their scorecard".

How many on this list would turn down a CWOF because they are innocent, knowing that a guilty verdict means PP for life? My guess is a lot fewer than those who say they would not cop a plea when innocent, but not facing the absolute threat. Chances are the judge could not chance having such a conviction on her record.

Now that it's been adjudicated, the State Commission on Judicial Conduct will undertake an extensive, thorough investigation, After three years they will dismiss the complaint with an expressin of concern to the judge.

... and then the judge will retire with full pension?
