Judge Elizabeth Halverson – Gone

In a scathing 28 page finding, the Nevada Judicial Commission has removed the contentious Halverson from the bench and she is barred from ever serving as a judge in Nevada again.

Some of the counts against Halverson included sleeping in court, lying under oath, and mistreatment of staff.

Halverson has maintained her innocence, saying that the court officials who filed the complaints were "out to get her."

The commission said Halverson had an unrepentant attitude, lacked professional litigation and judicial expertise and had a disrespectful demeanor. "Some judges are in office for an entire career and do not accumulate the type of dismal professional history that the record in this case establishes."

Halverson refused to comment on the Commission’s ruling.

Halverson says the couple had been talking about dinner when her husband came into the room with "a large frying pan." The judge says Ed gave her a "very wicked, very nasty" smile, seemed to be "gleeful," and then, "he takes the frying pan and he bashes me in the head."

Halverson says she was "soaking in blood" when her husband came back into the room and hit her "three" more times. Halverson claims she managed to secretly call 911, but tried to keep her husband calm by talking about other things.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - listen to the 911 call and then read the transcript. Something just ain't right!
