Welcome New Judges to The Indiana Family Court Judge's Hall of Shame

Welcome new Inductees Commissioner Israel Nunez Cruz, Marion Superior Court, caught drunk driving in Hendricks County, and Honorable Thomas J. Felts, Allen Circuit Court, caught drunk driving in Marion County. Thank goodness you guys didn't kill anyone the nights you were caught driving drunk. Didn't it occur to you both that you should have respect for the law, and try to follow it.

Thanks Indiana Supreme Court: Another Marion Superior Court Judge Gets a Non-Punishment

Soooooooooo sorry he didn't get a punishment appropriate for the screwup of someone's life he has caused. But that is just THE INDIANA SUPREME COURT for you. OMG...do they really think that Judge Grant Hawkins getting 60 days off without pay is enough punishment for keeping a man in prison an extra TWO YEARS, ignoring the family's letters and pleas to release him after he had been exhonerated. God help us all...

Read the Punishment here.

The Indiana Supreme Court Deserves to be in the Hall of Shame for this one.
