Whoa, talk about losing it!
46 people were searched, booked, and crammed into crowded cells, and the 14 who couldn't make bail were then bused to another jail 30 minutes away.
Two hours later when the news media started asking questions they were all released.
What's particularly disturbing is the fact it took more than two years to remove this nut-job from the bench!
And he still had the backing of the deciding commission's chairman, Raoul Felder:
Felder conceded that Restaino engaged in "two hours of inexplicable madness" and wrote that when he first reviewed the facts in the case, he
believed the judge had become a "tyrant" whose behavior merited removal. But on further review, and upon hearing a remorseful Restaino ascribe his
outburst to the buildup of stress in his personal life, Felder urged compassion and punishment short of removal.
"I cannot find it within myself to destroy this individual's professional life over this regrettable episode," Felder wrote.
I suppose "two hours of inexplicable madness" shouldn't disqualify someone from being a judge, eh?
Everyone who's been sentenced by this "tyrant" should be calling their lawyer about now to have their case reviewed, IMHO.
Lucky for these 46 people he wasn't packing a Taser!
