Is there any case law where a judge has been found guilty of gross misconduct in the context of an assault on a minor?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Velyvis v. Macconaghy, A141332 (Cal. App. 2014):
"II. LEGAL ARGUMENT: THE NEW JUDGE COMING FROM A CRIMINAL LAW BACKGROUND, WAS NOT AN 'EXPERIENCED TRIAL JUDGE' WHO COULD FILL IN THE MANY GAPS LEFT BY MacCONAGHY'S REQUEST FOR ATTORNEYS' FEES."
Such conduct is not to be condoned. (See Fink v. Shemtov (2010) 180 Cal.App.4th 1160, 1176.)
