Courts - "A Judge’s ‘Inexplicable Madness’ Over a Cellphone"

Howard Bashman's How Appealing has all the links that go with a story today from the Buffalo News that begins, "A state panel has ordered City Judge Robert M. Restaino removed from the bench for jailing 46 defendants after a cell phone rang in his courtroom and no one would admit to owning it."

[Updated 11/28/07] "Judge's Removal Recommended for Prolonged Tirade Over Courtroom Cell Phone" is the title to a story today by Joel Stashenko in the New York Law Journal.
