Greetings fellow Bizarros:

Sure, there was the recent story about the prison guard who got pregnant from having sex with one of the inmates she was supposed to be guarding, but that only scratched the surface of the abuse of authority in the penal system. A judge in Indiana just took it to a whole new level.

The Indiana Commission on Judicial Qualifications has filed three disciplinary charges against Lisa Traylor-Wolff, a senior judge serving in Pulaski and Fulton counties, for letting a client bang her gavel at a state prison.

The charges stem from an alleged "physically intimate relationship with a 26-year-old client" who Traylor-Wolff had been appointed to represent, according to a statement issued today by the Indiana Supreme Court.

Senior judges, such as Traylor-Wolff, work part-time to fill in for trial court judges and also may practice law. According to the court statement, Traylor-Wolff was representing the defendant on felony charges.

The commission alleges she began a romantic relationship with the client while representing him. The commission also alleges inappropriate conduct occurred when Traylor-Wolff and the client were in an attorney-client visitation room at the Miami Correctional Facility.

Talk about not being able to wait.

The commission also alleges Traylor-Wolff violated a section of the code of conduct which prohibits judges from engaging in activities that would appear to undermine the judge's independence, integrity, or impartiality.

The defendant is hereby sentenced to 30 minutes of "hard" time in the judge's chambers.

Bizarrely,
Lewis

Stuart Hall, crew manager of the Stockport, England, fire crew, said firefighters were called to the 49-year-old woman's home when her hand became stuck in the glove box while she was attempting to retrieve something, The Mirror reported Monday. "She wasn't able to move her hand -- either to push it in or pull it out," Hall said. "There was a man there with her and he tried for a long time to no avail so they had no other option but to call us." The firefighters freed the woman by first removing her wristwatch., the newspaper said. "As soon as the watch came off it was fine; they were a little embarrassed as we were a last resort," Hall said. "But if someone is stuck they are stuck, they can't stay there all night. We don't train for something exactly like this but we will always be able get people free somehow." The woman suffered slight bruising and soreness in her wrist, Hall said.


*-- Long-distance runner retires at age 101 --*
HONG KONG - A 101-year-old man who has been in nine marathons since taking up distance running when he was 89 said he retired after a weekend race in Hong Kong. Fauja Singh, whose running and style of dress earned him the title "Turbaned Tornado," said Sunday's 6.2-mile race was his final competitive run, CNN reported Monday. Singh said he completed the Hong Kong event in 32 minutes and 28 seconds, shaving 4 minutes off his time from last year. "Five or six kilometers into the race, I really decided to go for it," he said. "I had lots of power today because I was very happy." Singh said he moved from India to Britain following the death of his son and began running marathons in 2000. He became the first centenarian to complete a marathon when he ran the Toronto Waterfront Marathon in 8 hours, 11 minutes and 6 seconds in 2011. "It's because of the happiness I get out of it. If something makes you happy, you'll do it well," Singh said.

Hi Lewis, Thanks for giving me another gem in the "hammers and spoons kill people too" gun regs argument--hammers and spoons, even when placed in an oven, are less likely to explode and spray casing fragments at high speeds during waffle prep... Thanks & take care, Jennifer
[This whole tragedy could have been averted if she had only used a proper waffle iron.]

I remember my dad teaching me stove safety. He said time and time again, "Son, Always, always... check the oven to see if it's loaded and never turn on a burner without knowing which one is going to light."
[I would love to read the statistics about how many people buy an oven for home defense, but it is a member of the household who ends up getting shot with it.]

Lewis.. Legalizing drugs and allowing the 'government' to handle the sales and taxation should work. It would be the only thing our Gov't ever did that actually would be profitable and well run. After all, Congress is probably on some kind of drugs- no one can be that stupid and blame it all on genes. -corky
[Stupid like a fox! What other criminals do you know who can legalize their own criminal activity? Politicians are the most sophisticated criminal element in the world.]
