Judge allegedly napped, made bailiff rub her back – CNN.com

Her former bailiff, for example, says Halverson made him feel like a "houseboy." He says the judge -- who is obese and uses a motorized scooter to get around -- made him put her shoes on her feet, massage her back, cover her with a blanket for naps and make sure her oxygen tank was filled. He says she asked him, "Do you want to worship me from near or afar?"

Halverson also surrounded herself with her own hired guards, saying she did not trust the courthouse security force to protect her. Another time, she allegedly had her husband sworn in so that she could ask him under oath whether he had completed chores at home.

This woman is clearly a winner, she abuses her power as a judge, then tries to blame all of her medical problems on diabetes and arthritis. I wonder if someone has mentioned that if she lost some of the weight she is carrying around she might be better off than having doctors notes presented to the administrative panel that will decide her fate as a judge in Nevada. She clearly is off her rocker and should be thrown off the bench just for having abused the system even before the staff complaints. Time to find another career.
