Judge who said teen rape suspect was 'from a good family' steps down

[dixiegrrrrl]

The state Supreme Court granted Judge James Troiano’s request to resign on Wednesday and terminated his services effective immediately.

The longtime family court judge reportedly retired in 2012, but was still hearing cases on a part-time basis in Monmouth County Superior Court.

also, same state...

Superior Court Judge John Russo got the ax Wednesday after asking a rape victim in 2016 whether she attempted to keep her legs closed during her alleged assault. The state Supreme Court recommended his removal and he will now have until Aug. 19 to offer evidence proving why he should keep his position.
Russo — who is also reportedly facing a sexual harassment suit from his former law clerk — has been suspended without pay, pending the conclusion of his removal proceedings.

for a change.

2. Troiano's "request" was a formality-- he was shoved out with all due haste. Even Joisey judges...

can't deal with lowlifes like Troiano and Russo.

3. Small victories, but important...

for the victims who have had to face these judges.

4. The backlash has started.

Notice that in the 2nd case, the case was 3 ears ago, the judge is just now getting axed.

Me Too has been a very effective ...movement, I guess.

But I see more behind the court decisions. Trump has gone too far, more and more people are standing up to him.
