Can a suspended Cook County judge return to the bench after being declared legally insane at the time she shoved a sheriff’s deputy in 2012?

For the first time in Illinois, attorneys on the case say, a judicial disciplinary panel has begun tackling the question of whether a judge whose psychotic episodes can apparently be controlled through medication should be allowed to return to the bench.

This explains so much.

I thought Cook County Public “Servants” were criminally insane, not just insane.

Too late

“Judge Brim decided to go without any kind of psychiatric treatment of any sort after 15-plus years of these episodes while she was a sitting judge,” Gallo said.

No. There are bigger and better career opportunities coming up. What if Hillary doesn’t run?

[BipolarBob]

I wouldn’t be in this mess if not for the strawberries.

[Ghost of SVR4]

Uh, I think she was acting like a democrat BEFORE she was kicked off the bench.

[Chode]

if so, anybody convicted in it's court who's lawyer doesn't demand a sanity test should sue for malpractice...

Good thing she's not a brain surgeon at government-owned Cook County Hospital.

So, can people with diabetes or heart problems be judges? After all, some of them go loopy too, directly or indirectly from their medical illness.

EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT!

"Evening folks,,,, I'm Ima Rattletale, your roving reporter, from MSNBC, live on the street in front of Markham courthouse where Judge Cynthia Brim just handed down a guilty verdict to Thelma Thunderthigh for allegedly shoving Reverend Wright down the steps in front of his headquarters opps,,,,church for running his hand up her thigh. Exact cause of death will be determined at the autopsy tomorrow".

"Is the mic off Mr. cameraman? Yes? The stupid SOB should have waited till they got to the bottom of the steps".

We have one of these going on in Cleveland. Some Stokes woman who is clearly disturbed has been allowed to sit for years, abusing everyone in the room and rendering psychotic decisions. Only lately has she become so absurd that the bar is forced into doing something. Never let it be said that shysters don't protect their own.
