West Virginia Judge Suspended After 24 Violations of State’s Judicial Ethics Rules
Family Court Judge William Watkins III has got a pretty bad temper. He's been known to yell at litigants in his courtroom, as well as on one occasion, calling a woman seeking a protective order "stupid." After word came out about the incident, Watkins told the woman to shut up and stop "shooting off [her] fat mouth about what happened." Unfortunately for Watkins, that temper has landed him with a suspension that will last the rest of his term.
In the video above, watch him completely freak out on a litigant who quietly accepts the threats from the judge, who bluffs about recusing himself from the case, then threatens the litgant with life imprisonment (over a divorce case).
