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.
