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.
@@starbase51shiptestingfacility 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.
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.
"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?
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.
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 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.
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 !😅😅
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😂🤣
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
“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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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*
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.
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.
.............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.
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.

I’ll defend her. Who cares? Stop being brittle people. I was on the fire dept as an emt and fire fighter, and u should hear the morbid stuff we said just to each other about patients just to get through stuff. Waaah. Get over it.
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.
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.
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.
😂 "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." 😎
We all want freedom of speech til it offends us then we want people jobs its pretty sad yeah the jokes were inappropriate but there jokes you destroyed a woman's life how are you guys better than her in my eyes your worse
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
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.
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
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.
It is terrifying that this woman is now a prosecutor. Who can trust her when she thinks she's better than everyone who comes before her. This guy obviously does not know what cruel is.
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.
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
so, because he feels it was a family, therefore hes doing the idiotic thing with protecting wrong doers in the family by defending them. and he actually thinks what happened was ok
He is her protector. He continues to confirm the memes were wrong…. but he said nothing; therefore he too is complicit and is still attempting to provide protection for their dishonorable actions. Just try to perceive all of this from a defendant’s point of view. Justice isn’t that damn blind
So this courtroom was filled with "mean girls." The judge, officer, etc. all "mean girls" and this officer is now trying to defend their mean, horrible, actions.
My question is this: If he KNEW this was going on for YEARS before he retired, why didn't he come forward and file a complaint? HE WAS JUST AS COMPLICIT IN THIS SICKNESS AND UNETHICAL BEHAVIOR AS THE PERPETRATORS. It is disgusting for him to try and defend Chavez or the judge for what they were doing. WE DON'T NEED THESE TYPES OF BOTTOM FEEDERS IN OUR LEGAL SYSTEM. I say cut off his retirement or pension or anything else he gets from the government for his retirement. It is time to clean up the state of AZ and its abhorrent legal system. I've said this time and again.........it is corrupt from the State Bar to the Judicial Complaint Board to the judges to the law enforcement to the lower level staff. THIS IS NOT HOW A LEGAL SYSTEM WORKS IN A DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY.
I think that for her to make such big mistakes in such a high position, which is not to say such behavior is excusable in any position, that there must be a consecutive degree of "bad behavior" occurring in her personal life, and those of whom she keeps company with, that her actions in court would leave her at a loss, not knowing right from wrong. When the wicked go to work, they bring their "wickedness" with them, and when the righteous go to work, they bring their "righteousness" with them. It doesn't matter what court she ends up in, the outcome will remain the same, until she discovers for herself, what right and wrong are.
The fact that the retired officer stated that he saw memes in other divisions, only makes the severity of the situation worse. The public does not trust the judiciary, officers of the court or any authority that is supposed to, first and foremost, uphold a person's federally protected constitutional rights, due to the corruption in our local and state governments. The states ignore rights like an non- bias decision maker a
Due process and equal protection of the law. To find out that the courts routinely mock and treat people with hatred and prejudice is disturbing and downright scary. We the people are losing respect for and faith in our government and the legal system. The retired officer made it clear that Judge Otis's conduct is nothing unusual and her actions are condoned by the court.
The officer just kept digging and making things worse. He basically just confirmed the original story was true, just that he didn't think it was a big deal. Somebody should have told him he had a right to remain silent!
The fact that she's a prosecuetour could be very damaging how could they even trust her to make designs when she has no respect for everyday citizens that have made mistakes in thier life double standard she should have not been allowed to be a prosecutour

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

The judge probably had to resign as it's an extremely unprofessional conduct at the most.

They caught a lot of flack for talking bad about the U.S. Dictatorship now they are trying to walk it back.
That courtroom officer can be bought for a box of donuts. He is truly a living Homer Simpson.
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.
She stepped down and now he’s retired. That says it all
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
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.

So it makes it okay? If he "ran a tight ship" this wouldn't have happened. This literally makes it look even worse lmao
Bowen's language was careful. As in, how people who cover-up wrongdoing are careful.
"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 bailiff was lying and trying to play cover for the judge.
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.
That officer seems a little to friendly about the judge. Obviously whatever happened is true.

We all want freedom of speech til it offends us then we want people jobs its pretty sad yeah the jokes were inappropriate but there jokes you destroyed a woman's life how are you guys better than her in my eyes your worse
There’s no excuse for her!!!
The first rule of meme court is don't talk about meme court.
Lying Officer Fupa , sounding like Milton from Office Space.🤣
I believe he is lying 🤷🏻♀️ It happened.
Clearly
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
1:52 Just because HE didn't see it doesn't make it not exist. He's never seen air either, yet he continues to be a waste of it.
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.
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
Cause you guys got your panties in a bunch over some memes.
Those granted the power of interpreting and applying the law should never think that their courtrooms are private kingdoms…
Yeah I had feeling the “whistleblower” wasn’t completely innocent here. At least she eventually came forward and did the right thing.
Why is he recording the reporter?
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.
It is terrifying that this woman is now a prosecutor. Who can trust her when she thinks she's better than everyone who comes before her. This guy obviously does not know what cruel is.
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.
It’s completely disgraceful that they protected that horrible woman
“At no time in the morning” that was oddly specific.
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
so, because he feels it was a family, therefore hes doing the idiotic thing with protecting wrong doers in the family by defending them. and he actually thinks what happened was ok
Dont trust him. He hid the bottle of bubbles. Not to be trusted lmao
He is her protector. He continues to confirm the memes were wrong…. but he said nothing; therefore he too is complicit and is still attempting to provide protection for their dishonorable actions. Just try to perceive all of this from a defendant’s point of view. Justice isn’t that damn blind
clearly this is a disgruntled former employee. small talk is not misconduct.
So this courtroom was filled with "mean girls." The judge, officer, etc. all "mean girls" and this officer is now trying to defend their mean, horrible, actions.
This comes off more as a denial based on embarrassment than anything else
So disgusted seeing how this happens in close doors. Conceited people in power expecting people to follow the law when they can't in their own office.
My question is this: If he KNEW this was going on for YEARS before he retired, why didn't he come forward and file a complaint? HE WAS JUST AS COMPLICIT IN THIS SICKNESS AND UNETHICAL BEHAVIOR AS THE PERPETRATORS. It is disgusting for him to try and defend Chavez or the judge for what they were doing. WE DON'T NEED THESE TYPES OF BOTTOM FEEDERS IN OUR LEGAL SYSTEM. I say cut off his retirement or pension or anything else he gets from the government for his retirement. It is time to clean up the state of AZ and its abhorrent legal system. I've said this time and again.........it is corrupt from the State Bar to the Judicial Complaint Board to the judges to the law enforcement to the lower level staff. THIS IS NOT HOW A LEGAL SYSTEM WORKS IN A DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY.
This whole situation is unbelievable to me. It should be made into a book or a movie !
I think that for her to make such big mistakes in such a high position, which is not to say such behavior is excusable in any position, that there must be a consecutive degree of "bad behavior" occurring in her personal life, and those of whom she keeps company with, that her actions in court would leave her at a loss, not knowing right from wrong. When the wicked go to work, they bring their "wickedness" with them, and when the righteous go to work, they bring their "righteousness" with them. It doesn't matter what court she ends up in, the outcome will remain the same, until she discovers for herself, what right and wrong are.
It just tells you what the judge thinks of the people that are presented to her,. She is sick,talk about judging someone.
Everyone involved needs to be dismissed!
The judge is acting like a mean girl from the movie. Total bully
The fact that the retired officer stated that he saw memes in other divisions, only makes the severity of the situation worse. The public does not trust the judiciary, officers of the court or any authority that is supposed to, first and foremost, uphold a person's federally protected constitutional rights, due to the corruption in our local and state governments. The states ignore rights like an non- bias decision maker a
Due process and equal protection of the law. To find out that the courts routinely mock and treat people with hatred and prejudice is disturbing and downright scary. We the people are losing respect for and faith in our government and the legal system. The retired officer made it clear that Judge Otis's conduct is nothing unusual and her actions are condoned by the court.
I'm
Shame on him and all the corrupt judicial system !
The officer just kept digging and making things worse. He basically just confirmed the original story was true, just that he didn't think it was a big deal. Somebody should have told him he had a right to remain silent!
The fact that she's a prosecuetour could be very damaging how could they even trust her to make designs when she has no respect for everyday citizens that have made mistakes in thier life double standard she should have not been allowed to be a prosecutour
