Judge Shelley Joseph: Full text and takeaways from her public pillorying
In 112 pages, the state Commission on Judicial Conduct rips Judge Shelley Joseph for her “willful judicial misconduct that brought the judicial office into disrepute,” the charging sheet states.
Those stinging accusations are contained in the first 11 pages (attached below). The full story from last night sums it all up, but here are takeaways off deadline:
Whatever happens next — from loss of days off (a State Police go-to punishment) to losing her job, Judge Joseph will never face jail time.
The U.S. District Attorney’s Office kicked this case over to the Commission on Judicial Conduct.
The commission falls under the auspices of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court.
The next step is to appoint a hearing officer; then a public hearing will be held.
