If Harris nominated her to the SCOTUS every Democrat in Congress would vote Yes.

Everyone I know says she can do less damage there, but good riddance.

come on now…nobody fricking knows whether or not lawyers running for judicial office will be “good judges” or not, but there is an expectation of basic legal competence. And none of the “electorate” who voted for this idiot did so due to her likely jurisprudential stance…they voted for her because her family told them to and she’s a black female

and even now, she’ll probably win that appellate race. And the LASC can do nothing about that until she fricks up again. Idiocracy

That’s discrimination against the mentally challenged. Retards have rights too.

What’s the backstory here?


*This is a timeline from a few different news sources.

Date Unknown: Set a third bond for a prolific drug dealer

November 2021: She ordered Billy Pettice have his ankle monitor removed while he was out on bond. He was accused of murdering his girlfriend along College Drive in Baton Rouge. While out— and ankle monitor free – he was accused of attacking another woman and her kids.

February 2022: She let another man, Luke Simmons, out on bond for a homicide on Spanish Town Road. He was later accused in a separate drive-by shooting.

February 2023: A white woman who was accused of waving a gun at a black family who were driving through her neighborhood and pushing flood waters toward her home was convicted on three counts of misdemeanor aggravated assault with a firearm. She previously faced felony charges in the case.

The panel originally found Bridgette Digerolamo not guilty of felony aggravated assault after she was tried for attacking three motorists who drove down her flooded street in July 2021. But Johnson Rose met privately with the jurors after the verdict was accepted and read and realized they meant to convict the ex-gym teacher of misdemeanor assault. The judge re-summonsed Digerolamo and her attorneys back to the courtroom and rendered a guilty verdict to the less severe charges.

March 2024: The judge convicted a former Baton Rouge police officer, accused of sexual misconduct against a Southern University student, of "misdemeanor grade" malfeasance in office. When attorneys pointed out there is no such offense in Louisiana law, she acquitted Steele, drawing intense objections from prosecutors.

April 2024: Prosecutors with District Attorney Hillar Moore’s office recently found themselves before a district court judge who accused the DA’s office of just wanting to “stick every ni**er in jail,” according to a court transcript of the April 2024 proceeding inside the 19th Judicial District Court in Baton Rouge.

Judge Eboni Johnson Rose made those comments shortly after questioning prosecutors about multiple delays in the case of a black man accused of domestic violence.

“He won’t be able to get this sh*t expunged off his record,” the judge said. “Most people don’t care about young black men but I do and he won’t be able to have no firearms.”

April 2024: The State Supreme Court said Judge Rose flat out made a mistake on the bench in the case of Bridgette Digerolamo, a woman who was accused of waving a gun at a group of people who were driving through her neighborhood and pushing flood waters toward her home. Justices said Judge Rose broke the rules by getting with the jury - privately- even after she had accepted their verdict. That led to the jury re-considering the case, and eventually changing their verdict. The supreme court unanimously cleared the woman of all charges.

May 2024: A Texas lawyer pleaded guilty to setting his ex-girlfriend’s Baton Rouge home ablaze last year, even after being court-ordered to stay 100 feet from the woman’s residence. Video showed him doing it and he was wearing an ankle monitor due to a domestic battery case for a different woman. GPS data showed he violated the order multiple times prior.

But Judge Rose who sentenced Christian Lee King to three years in prison and probation later rescinded the decision because state law called for more time behind bars, according the District Attorney's office.

She is a nepotism retard, as she is the niece of one judge and daughter of another IIRC.

What had happened?


She grossly overstepped her authority and invented law in rulings she made. One Justice questioned if she even knew the law and legal procedings.


quote:

The Louisiana Supreme Court on Tuesday ordered the temporary removal of Eboni Johnson Rose from the bench in the state's 19th Judicial District after a series of WBRZ Investigative Unit reports about the judge's controversial rulings.

Voting 5-2 in a case brought by the state Judiciary Commission, the court said the Baton Rouge judge "is immediately disqualified from exercising any judicial function" while the panel considers disciplinary action against her. The board said she poses a threat of "serious harm to the public" if she continues to serve as a judge


quote:

Rose had been involved in a number of questionable decisions, including convicting a former Broadmoor Elementary teacher moments after acquitting her in an aggravated assault case. She also convicted a Baton Rouge police officer of a crime that doesn't exist.


quote:

In addition to the rulings involving the teacher and the police officer, Rose has made a number of other decisions that drew questions, including:

-ordered an ankle monitor removed from a murder suspect; while he was out he was accused of attacking a woman and her children;

-released a homicide suspect on bond; he was later picked up for a drive-by shooting;

-set a third bond for a prolific drug dealer; and

-shaved too much time of an arsonist's sentence to the point that it was less than the amount required by law.

In the Broadmoor teacher case, the Supreme Court intervened and ordered the defendant acquitted.

This is exactly why qualified immunity shouldn’t cover judges.

They’d certainly be shocked at some of the hubris that comes along with these decisions.

Judges should absolutely have qualified immunity. You remove that and every nut job that loses a trial or dispositive motion will be suing.

The answer should be a more active watch dog role from the Supreme Court.

Except, you know, that they didn't, because she's a district court judge, and they're still in the parish
