The Greedy Judge

Or should I have titled this 'The Weird Judge'? Judge Ernest Murphy won his libel case against the Boston Herald and was awarded over $3,000,000. Apparently, this was not enough as he wrote a couple of threatening letters to the publisher of the Herald seeking more money; for these he will be called before the ethics board. Earlier this month he asked for an early retirement on the grounds of disability; the governor denied it. Now, he has sued the Herald's insurance company on the grounds that they should have stopped the Herald from going to trial and appealing the verdict.

This guy is a judge? He seems to have some deep-seated problems; otherwise, he would stop making an ass of himself.

Sounds like someone who thinks he has all the power - he makes rules, why should he have to follow someone elses?
