MCSO court officer defends judge in ABC15 investigation

- After ABC15’s investigation into former judge Erin Otis, the Maricopa County Sheriff’s detention officer assigned to her courtroom is now defending her and said the story that’s being told is slanted.
This guy isn't the sharpest. He is defending the judge who HAD to resign? I think the resignation pretty much tells the whole story.
I mean, his whole defense is, "It was everybody, we were all bad people"
Ya he's pretty low IQ
You are focusing on the wrong thing. The practice of making memes and jokes is reported to be prevalent(?) in the court system there.
The judge probably had to resign as it's an extremely unprofessional conduct at the most. Kelly Schaeffer the clerk also participated in the jokes and memes and was pointed out she had a motive for reporting it. She may have had a grudge against the judge, who filed a report of misconduct on Kelly Schaeffer(SP?) the clerk. There is some indication she may have lied about some of the things that went on in the courtroom.
@@starbase51shiptestingfacil97 so by your logic we shouldn’t care because it happens in all their courtrooms?? Gross. Btw, that’s exactly what a guilty person(a) would want you to think about a whistleblower, doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that out. 🙄
@@cheesehead4670 You seemed to have launched into replying without reading.
It's the unprofessional practices, that's the problem. Not necessarily just one person. Even the "whistleblower" admitted to participating in the memes and jokes. You'll find this out when you look over the other reports in the series.
They caught a lot of flack for talking bad about the U.S. Dictatorship now they are trying to walk it back.
This sounds like a judge who is calling upon powerful friends.
Well...DUH!!!
Erin Otis is floundering
Ban secret societies, cults, and the Temple of Set, and there would be no one left to defend wickedness, nor to come to her aid.
I bet just being one of them is enough for them to cover for her. She doesn't have to call on powerful friends.
That courtroom officer can be bought for a box of donuts. He is truly a living Homer Simpson.
She stepped down and now he’s retired. That says it all
Haha you can tell this old man is lying. He says he runs a tight shift but looks like he can't even take the stairs
Sounded to me like he was covering his ass.
@@darkduude
That's a major coverup!
Omg! Lol! 😂
Right and not one of those people are good looking. What a nerve to call people names when your so unattractive.
@@lindaallen6519 So it's okay for attractive people to call people names??
Sounds like a cover up by someone should not be working in the courts! This whole group is disgusting 🤮! Why are they still employed?
I think they’ve all retired and resigned now
My thoughts exactly
It is hard for him to see her hatred when he thinks just like her. He may have a crush on her.
even the thought of that 'barrel' or a man unclothed!!!!!!
100%. You can tell he’s one of those simple men that is easily led by his crotch
Bowen's language was careful. As in, how people who cover-up wrongdoing are careful.
Why would we want this woman prosecuting people when she clearly looks down and any one and every one. She's not professional. And this just shows no one is safe from her personal persecutions. Take this evil woman out of office she has no business having any type of impact on any one's life.
So it makes it okay? If he "ran a tight ship" this wouldn't have happened. This literally makes it look even worse lmao
That bailiff was lying and trying to play cover for the judge.
"Everyone is doing it." was not a good excuse when you were in grade school. Its not a good one as a grown-up. And just because you're all buddies doesn't mean you don't do your job professionally. You don't use municipal resources, while on the job, for this stuff. If you must share it, use your own time, and your own computing resources. Personal and professional never mix.
Why does he specify "in the mornings" when denying the ex parte allegations?
Right!?! Uh...seems even more guilty now.
you're also supposed to know as a "grown up" after many many semesters of ENGLISH that you DO NOT START sentences with AND...BUT...or HOWEVER
@@ralphsmith2683 You're also supposed to capitalize the first letter in the first word of a sentence too, kid.
It’s so weird that you don’t know that grammar rules have changed & evolved over time. And it is completely OK to start a sentence with those words.
So now that he’s admitted to witnessing similar misconduct by saying “everyone is doing it” then when does the investigation start on everyone else?! Because it doesn’t make it right.
That officer seems a little to friendly about the judge. Obviously whatever happened is true.
I think there is some bias but he's pretty careful to ensure. I never saw any of that, while down playing the fact that that doesn't mean it didn't happen, just not on his watch.
This isn't the bombproof rebuttal he implies.
Just because a whistle blower participated in the actions, it doesn't mean that person is any less credible or the reported actions less heinous.
Sometimes people just need a nudge for the conscience to kick in.
This court officer just embarrassed himself with the "I didn't see it, it didn't exist, but everybody did it" defense.
I think it’s funny that almost every time he denied something he’d follow it up with, but yea we did do that. Lol. “There wasn’t a hate book, we had a hate wall.” Totally different. Lol., like regardless if there was a book or not all the book represented was a place that you put all your Memes. Even if there wasn’t a book you still put disrespectful Memes up on the wall. And if you didn’t throw the kid a party, then why did you turn the cameras off and why didn’t the judge tell the parents to make the kid stop shooting bubbles in the court room? In my court room experiences, they make statements in the beginning of court that if your kid is going to have a problem they need to be taken outside the court room. And if a kid does start to become fussy they’re asked to leave. There’s too much evidence here to suggest that there is an innocuous reason for every charge against them. And this lady wasn’t seeking attention, attention came to her.
"Your honor , I called for a mistrial!! , the prosecutors says I burn the orphanage full of kids with spraying gasoline that I carry on a red can ...and you can clearly see in the video the can I was carrying was yellow!! Mistrial I say..mistrial for fake accusations !!!! "
Basically !😅😅
It's like someone with severe brain damage trying to defend himself.
Reminds me of that Chappelle Show episode of Rick James saying AND I QUOTE
“Real Rick James : See, I never just did things just to do them. Come on, what am I gonna do? Just all of a sudden jump up and grind my feet on somebody's couch like it's something to do? Come on. I got a little more sense then that………yeah I remember grinding my feet in his couch”
COCAINE IS A HELL OF A DRUG😂🤣
“everyone was doing it so it’s ok for this judge to do it” “i never saw the hate book so it didn’t exist.” “she had to resign but didn’t do anything wrong”
all i’m hearing from this dude.
Sounds like he needs to be fired too.
He retired in 2020 I think
What happened to rules of professional ethics?! She shouldn’t be allowed to practice law
All i see is 1 privileged person defending another privileged person. No1 is going to believe these people; they all work in the most untrustworthy (jobs) position’s in our society
He's not the sharpest tool in the box , of course he's lying they all stick together and make the whistle-blower look bad
Every time
Most likely the police union supported/endorsed the judge during the election. They all stick together. It's unconfirmed but occasionally spoken that those cops working desk and court rooms are those undesirables for the street.
This is just another reason to dislike law officials
I disagree their behavior is pure trash he gives cops a bad name
he has to defend the judge at the time because he was there and would be responsible for letting it happen and not say anything.
I agree 100%.
He would have been better piping down. No one asked for this, How-To--Look-Worse-To-The-Judge-exposé!
This guy should be accountable too, he literally threw himself under the bus, and hopefully other court rooms will get investigated too, this guy just might have opened a Pandora's box.
He looks like a simp. He was probably grateful that the 'cool kids' let him into their secret meme club and now he's going to white knight to rescue the judge and reporter. Like all simps, he doesn't realize that they're never going to let him hit it.
he made a statement that was interesting........he said the judge never discussed a case etc or approached an inmate etc.. because he runs a tight ship. sounds like he is covering his own ass because if it comes out those conversations happened it means he was present and knew what she was doing and NEVER reported it like he should have
And just after that he says she did talk to the inmate but always turned the conversation away if the case was brought up. The judge should NEVER talk to an inmate without his representation present.
Above the law and unprofessional.
The judges, prosecutors and cops are totally out of control, over entitled, unaccountable and serving their own egos, not justice.
All I know is these court officials are barking up the wrong tree swearing on the Bible to protect the community then breaking that oath is the devils work and he's reaping phx police
It's why they have qualified immunity how did anyone ever think that wouldn't go bad for the people all it brought was a devil in uniform that gods children are defenseless against they wonder why they are so hated this is a big reason how you going to hold a position that makes people pay for mistakes when you have nothing to pay for but get payed to make mistakes
@@travislupum well god needs to take 'em out!!!!
@@travislupum This has nothing to do with qualified immunity. That is a different issue.
Devastating to them? How many lives did they devastate treating people unfairly?
Just shows how accepting these city government employees are, to admit that they were close enough to participate in this unprofessional behaviors. These people are not better than the people they serve or can't me before them to be judged. This kind of behavior makes them beneath the position they are expected to uphold. 🤬
The way he has broken down this story is amazing work with detailed planning. Then the way they used unaired footage that confirmed they contacted her first was a chess move lol. *Slow clap*
Wow, the judicial system in this investigation is apparently lacking a bit, if they didn't even talk to the bailiffs!
I’d like to point out, no one is saying the judge spoke ex parte **solely** in the Courtroom. The defendant with the signed and notarized statement said she would approach him in the hallways.
So bailiffs follow the judge around everywhere she goes?
The bailiff would accompany the detained defendants and would have known if the judge talked to them. That's my understanding of what he said.
Keep doing your thing Dave. We need the truth.
Great update! I’m looking forward to more of your investigation.
Looks like he's sitting that phone up perfectly to record his entire interview.
"There were memes everywhere."
"I run a tight ship."
These two statements contradict each other...
This guy runs a tight ship but can’t tell him self no more cupcakes? Yeah ok
Lol the bailiff recording his interview on his phone 😂 have several seats, you’re just as complicit
I say the DOJ needs to investigate this entire system as this system loves to protect those who are quilty and bias and unethical
The blue line gang is alive and well and this guy just proved it...pathetic
He snitched on other courtrooms lol
.............of course he denied that ex-parte communications ever took place, because then that would reflect poorly on him and his duties as well. I DO believe that the crude and lewd jokes take place in other courtrooms though - I work in a courthouse, and I've seen it, multiple times.
Doesn't surprise me, at all, that the court staff and deputies stick up for each other.
Please make a playlist for this new series -
Dime Chick please is not wanted needed or necessary it’s annoying like that judge
Retired Maricopa County Sheriff's Detention Officer Ted Bowen: "We went out to lunch together." And, "I saw other judges do it." [deflection argument; appeal to authority argument]
----
Me: So that somehow makes the unprofessional civic conduct acceptable?
Aside: In freshman pre-law argument class (Philosophy 101), the want-to-be judges and lawyers learn that appeal to authority is a false argument. And when they hear it, they are taught to object.
When someone stumbles on his words he's lying.
Such a bad cop thing to say, "yes it's bad but she shouldn't have told on her cuz everyone does it." Maybe he shouldn't be a cop with that attitude.
Agreed about that officer not being the sharpest. I think he just opened up pandoras box into a deeper investigation of that court. But as we all know, most law enforcement only need to follow orders and not think for themselves.
You should be ashamed to justify this by saying it's happening in other places. No, she's not a whistleblower- ABC15 is and I am thankful for it!
Total abuse of power. Where was her superior? Everyone has to answer to someone and she must have been overseen.
😂 "Yes, we did that... Yep and that... That too. I never seen a hate book... I seen a hate journal... Case closed... Also, I resign and plead guilty to everything." 😎
The judge didn’t resigned . She just changed jobs
Sounds like a man trying to protect his pension.
I believe he is lying 🤷🏻♀️ It happened.
Clearly
I use to work for Maricopa County Superior Court and the clerk is not being completely honest. Although I did not agree with some of Judge Otis' decisions, she does follow the rule of law.
Same here Alec! The clerk and Otis were as thick as thieves, I am certain something happened that made her want to release this information. It could have been a possible write up. I would love to hear the other side of it.
The first rule of meme court is don't talk about meme court.
Kudos to ABC Arizona for this thorough investigation and coverage. Journalism integrity and professionalism is still alove and kicking!
Look, to think this happens in 1 court room and not others is just ignorant.....
Lying Officer Fupa , sounding like Milton from Office Space.🤣
I’m in Orlando, have no idea or opinion. But the comment goes to the reporter that calls himself “news investor” keep up the good work and seems fair to ask the questions like reporters should.
Reminds me of that Chappelle Show episode of Rick James saying AND I QUOTE
“Real Rick James : See, I never just did things just to do them. Come on, what am I gonna do? Just all of a sudden jump up and grind my feet on somebody's couch like it's something to do? Come on. I got a little more sense then that………yeah I remember grinding my feet in his couch”
COCAINE IS A HELL OF A DRUG😂🤣
“At no time in the morning” that was oddly specific.
There’s no excuse for her!!!
@1:10, why do I feel retaliation coming to this woman
Oh im sure it will
Well, we know where this one stands. Goes to show that not all men believe in honor because that he’s dishonoring the whistleblower, when the evidence backs up her claims. Because someone participated doesn’t invalidate their concerns & claims. That’s the most insane excuse I’ve ever heard. So, if you participate in an assault, robbery or murder, you shouldn’t come forward & report it because you, too, were there? Come on. This tells you a lot about what’s going on in our judicial system that the Judge, bailiff & court reporter are all using the courtroom like a teenage playroom time; rather than respecting the office & titles they hold. And that is why they should never hold the titles again. Americans have HAD IT with the corrupt doing as they please & always getting away with it because the chain has been well designed; the corrupt are hired by the corrupt and do on, so that when actions are ever brought to light, there’s someone there to cover for them & excuse them away. NO MORE! It’s time for the corrupt to go where the rest of us do when we break the law - jail. And, if you can’t uphold the law by your own actions, then you certainly have no place applying the law to others. Snd this is yet another good reason why every American should look into becoming an American National - these are the people who can have influence in your life as a United States citizen. That’s scary.
This is damage control for the judge
This whole situation is unbelievable to me. It should be made into a book or a movie !
Why is he recording the reporter?
Just because everyone is doing something does not make it right.
They all in cahoots-that’s why her name was cleared they don’t want a precedence being set. Convict one you’ll have to convict most.
Keep investigating this , these people should be ashamed of their selves and all of them need to be fired and never allowed to work anywhere like this again
Everyone involved needs to be dismissed!
It’s completely disgraceful that they protected that horrible woman
Put them all in jail
court room officer defends his boss????? no way!
Those granted the power of interpreting and applying the law should never think that their courtrooms are private kingdoms…
3:00 “I run a tight ship.”
Apparently not there Spanky.
When the high school "mean girl"/bully becomes A JUDGE 👩⚖️ 🤔 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
1) If everyone was doing it that is an even bigger issue that should be looked into... brings all the cases handled in that courthouse into question really.
2) Dude is wearing a thin blue line shirt... I'm sorry but I believe this man will defend his co-workers even when they know they are wrong or lying because that is what the cops do all the time for one another. Thin blue line folks I think are very unlikely to whistle blow on police or judicial misconduct especially when they themselves were involved.
What is scary she is now a D.A. Juvenile court DA is the same way. 2008 I saw this because I had witnessed something. Also I read about people falsely accused and had their lives ruined. Heard about a guy spending 8 months in jailed to find out there was no evidence he was there.
Yep!!
Cause you guys got your panties in a bunch over some memes.
clearly this is a disgruntled former employee. small talk is not misconduct.
Court officers volunteering info . Wow!
What I just heard is that the whole system needs an enema.
I 100 percent believe there are more judges like Otis - no sympathy for curruption in government. Zero tolerance. Same thing happened to me. Someone at work told me it was gross that my daughter dated black guys. I reported it and was immediately reprimanded. Not her
Dont trust him. He hid the bottle of bubbles. Not to be trusted lmao
Shame on him and all the corrupt judicial system !
This comes off more as a denial based on embarrassment than anything else
This is the problem with our gang member Justice system. Even when they get caught, gang members with badges will always stick up for the other gang members with badges! If it's bad and wrong, it's bad and wrong! This officer admitted to knowing the disgusting behavior that was going on in the courtroom and said nothing! He is just as bad as everybody in that courthouse. It's supposed to be a Justice building for the people. These types of police officers and judges need to be fired!
I agree and it's in many institutions like the school system when you complain about one they all stick up for each other all the way up to the DOE. Your lucky if you can find one person to advocate on your behalf.
Yep, time for him to retire. Wrong for him not to come forward earlier.
Bowen will defend that judge but when that judge was destroying someones life with her bs power he didn't say a word and probably enyoyed it because he was on the other side of that badge
He tried to defend her horrible behavior with the "everybody does it" excuse. Complete BS. If this guy is such a good guy and in his words, "runs a tight ship", then why the f was any of this crap allowed to take place at all? This guy is not telling the truth.
He runs a tight ship that's why he's sitting down in court
So, I guess Einstein here is guilty too.
"She would have light talk with them"... without their lawyer present... yah...
The lack of professionalism is unfortunately not surprising, but should result in jail time for these lies they are telling to try and cover their ass.
Well I guess Erin and Barbara should’ve thought about that before they acted like high school mean girls. 🙄
The judge is acting like a mean girl from the movie. Total bully
He runs a tight ship. Well then, case closed.
What a clown.
Why didn't you speak up, you've got no room to bad mouth someone else.
