Warning: This story contains words and images that are graphic and cruel.
A Maricopa County Superior Court judge and her staff mocked and ridiculed people during hearings and trials by routinely emailing each other cruel and obscene statements, jokes, and memes.
The conduct happened in major felony cases, including high-profile capital murders.
Emails and internal records obtained by ABC15 show no one was off-limits: Defendants, their families, jurors, witnesses, attorneys, even other court employees and top court officials.
The judge was Erin O’Brien Otis.

I suppose whether or not this is a problem depends on which political party the judge is from.
Definitely lacking professionalism but what’s that mean these dayz.
Cat fight with the public?
Is she a Traitor Roberts Judge?
Anyone else sick and tired of there radical feminists in power positions?
The memes and emails mocking people in court aren’t the problem.
The problem is that “Otis and her staff manipulated the judicial performance review process, had daily ex parte communications with defendants, and even held a birthday party for the son of a six-time convicted defendant before his sentencing.”
Happens all the time, the type of people judges have to endure is painful.
Unprofessional yes, stupid even, yes. Now go luck under the liberal judge rock if you really want to see mocking and disdain. But we all know the media will never look there, just look at RGB for the example.
Wednesday Addams became a Judge?
I was reading this and noticed a banner for another story - AND NOW I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO MR SHOVEY!! I WAS SO WORRIED!

You are going to ask: Why a shovel instead of a broom? They’re more comfortable in the long haul. Anyway, Mr Shovey got out of his restraints and has been missing for two whole days. I’m contacting Valley authorities today to see if they will send him back. I hope I don’t have to go get him myself! I’ll have to ride the broom! :\
Note: The pic of that judge is pretty cruel, I have to say.
Ugly inside and out.
It was hard to find but she is a democrat.
“Gov. Doug Ducey has appointed three new Maricopa County Superior Court judges to fill vacancies created by retirements.
The new judges are civil-practice attorney Michael Blair, a Republican, Assistant U.S. Attorney Todd Lang, an independent, and Superior Court Commissioner Erin O’Brien Otis, a Democrat.”
god, they’re awful. Bring masculinity back to America.
too much yin ... not enough yang ... LOL
She looks like she was a good prosecutor and the behavior would have been tolerated at that level.
Promoted beyond her level of competence? Or maybe creative incompetence to get back to what she is good at?
Courtroom staff are a team who work together closely day in and day out in a stressful environment. Some frivolity is not necessarily a bad thing if it keeps the team from dreading coming in to work in the morning. Coming into court and dealing with a dysfunctional and unhappy staff is never much fun for the lawyers either, though I suspect that this complaint originates from some pompous attorney who didn’t like it when he found out he was being mocked for his pomposity.
