Judges & Fingergate
A very reliable source has indicated to me that the dispute between Judges Patrick Garcia and Ricardo Herrera is now over.
The anti-climatic end came earlier this week when the two essentially agreed on a something similar to a plea deal, without Judge Garcia having to officially acknowledge wrong-doing.
But as a practical matter, he seems to have acknowledged culpability.
Judge Garcia agreed to going to anger management classes in exchange for a dismissal of the charge.
The dispute arose a while back when Herrera and some other judges were in the parking lot of the courthouse and Judge Garcia allegedly approached cursing and shouting at Herrera over a court case. Garcia allegedly threw the figure at Judge Herrera.
I know, real mature right?
Kudos to Herrera for actually going through the legal process on this issue. Most people would've figured this would have just went away.
