twitterLetter: Halverson not fit to sit behind bench
Friday, June 1, 2007 | 6:51 a.m.
I've been following the circus concerning District Judge Elizabeth Halverson in the papers and television. Besides Halverson's bizarre behavior, and from what I'm told is Halverson's lack of experience in court, I think Chief Judge Kathy Hardcastle showed great restraint before taking action against someone who appears to not be ready to sit in judgment of others.
Halverson seems to have different rules for herself concerning the legal system in regard to the fixed-rent apartment she lived in until 1995 in San Francisco and then moved her sister into to circumvent the system when she moved to Las Vegas. The landlords raised the rent in 2000, and she sued them. She lost in court against the landlords, and after losing several appeals was ordered by a judge to reimburse the landlords for their legal costs. After two years, she still hasn't paid a penny.
Is this the type of person we want on the bench in Clark County? I think not!
