I did tell you, I like Judge Felts, but the smugness. I think the lesson learned was Judge Felts was given mercy from public scrutiny. Something that folks like Judge Felts forgets when sitting in the judicial seat of justice.
Interesting read...
Respondent and the Commission have agreed that driving with a blood alcohol concentration of .15 constitutes a violation of Canons 1(A)1 and 2(A)2 of the Code of Judicial Conduct, and that Respondent has violated these Canons. The parties have also agreed that Respondent has cooperated with the Commission throughout these proceedings, and that the appropriate sanction under the circumstances of this case is a public reprimand. The Court agrees with the parties.
Let's see .08 is the BAC standard for Indiana. You don't see that in the ruling. Felts .15 is almost twice the standard and is peers is not going to put that in writing. And Felts and none of the judges will be givning any interviews that Felts was more than little drunk.
You know why? Becauses none of the judges that made the ruling children lives in the city were Judge Felts will command his moving vehicle.
None of their children....think about it because the judges didn't:
“A judge shall respect and comply with the law and shall act at all times in a manner that promotes public confidence in the integrity and impartiality of the judiciary.” Jud. Canon 2(A).
So much the integrity,
An independent and honorable judiciary is indispensable to justice in our society. A judge should participate in establishing, maintaining and enforcing high standards of conduct, and shall personally observe those standards in order to preserve the integrity and independence of the judiciary. The provisions of this Code are to be construed and applied to further that objective.
wink wink, Judge Felts is our friend.
