Another Louisiana Judge Kicked Off the Bench
by TChris
Another Louisiana judge is in trouble -- this one for being drunk in the courtroom.
A prosecutor's dream judge, District Judge Monty L. Doggett issued arrest warrants when he was too drunk to read them. Deputies once had to carry the drunken judge out of his courtroom.
Judge Doggett's attitude toward his problem didn't help his efforts to retain his robe.
Doggett claimed that since he was re-elected after his alcoholism was made public, his constituents were aware of his problem and did not care.
It wouldn't be surprising if his constituents didn't notice his bad judging, given the other disastrous Louisiana judges that TalkLeft has featured: here and here and here.
