Lafayette Judge Michelle Odinet resigns after racial slurs caught on video

Michelle Odinet stepped down from the bench Friday, saying the racial slurs she used to describe burglars outside her home were "hurtful words" and undermined the public's confidence in the judicial system.
Odinet was captured on video using the n-word to describe men breaking into vehicles parked outside her home. She initially was mum on who used the language, but later acknowledged it was her.
The Louisiana Supreme Court had temporarily disqualified Odinet, at her request, two weeks ago and appointed a Black judge from Opelousas, Vanessa Harris, to handle cases in Division A of the Lafayette City Court, through Feb. 28.
quote:
Odinet's lawyer, Dane Ciolino, confirmed to The Advocate that the judge had quit. Her resignation letter begged forgiveness.
“I take full responsibility for the hurtful words I used to describe the individual who burglarized the vehicles at my home,” she said in her letter to the Louisiana Supreme Court. “I am sorry for the pain that I have caused my community and ask for your forgiveness, as my words did not foster the public's confidence and integrity for the judiciary.”
In a text message to The Advocate, Ciolino said "she understands that this is the end of her public service, but only the beginning of what she needs to do to earn the forgiveness of the community."

Why would she need to step down for this at all?

So you can lose your job for calling a criminal mean names?

So a family member taped her in her own home and then released it to the public?

that's why this is so wrong
It was a private moment in a private home about an incident that induced high emotions. There was no crime and there is no right to not be offended and the offensive word is found all over pop culture.
This whole thing is ridiculous and this woman is the victim of fake outrage and virtue signaling.

That is the difference between Republicans and Democrats. Democrats typically have to be forced out even if they are caught breaking actual law.

She failed to adhere to the judge code of conduct…….in the public eye no less

A judge………..should act at all times in a manner that promotes public confidence in the integrity and impartiality of the judiciary.

If you are a judge you shouldn't be using those terms.
If you are Jewish and hear that you are going to be heard by a judge to talk about "the f*cking jews", or if you are a Cajun and you have a judge was caught on tape saying "I hate coonasses", yeah, that might have you and your defense attorney concerned".
And it might actually be the opposite - hear me out -
Now caught, some people will overcompensate. A lot of people will it's human nature.
"Oh sh*t that tape really makes me look bad, shoot, I better show that I am really fair"...and now she becomes the most pro-black, pro-defendent, anti-white judge on the bench to show how "unlike her" that utterance was.
There are PLENTY of people who can serve as judges.
Start with a clean slate. She will make great money in some kind of private practice, nooone is taking her law license away.
