Judge Rex Stacey of Shakopee, MN; serial offender

 

The state of Minnesota provided Rex Stacey with a law license in 1982 after he graduated from William Mitchell College of Law.

 

The Minnesota Board of Judicial Standards found Judge Stacey guilty of the following misconduct.

In one matter, Judge Stacey found it acceptable to violate the Code of Judicial Conduct by issuing an ex parte (one-sided) order that continued for dismissal a traffic ticket that had been issued to the husband of a court clerk. In order to conceal the conduct from public view, Judge Stacey entered the order in chambers rather than in open court.

 

As a consequence of his misconduct, the enablers for Judicial Misfits sitting on the Minnesota Supreme Court punished Rex by gifting him with a complimentary reprimand.

In one matter, Judge Stacey was assigned to preside over a divorce case. During the trial on the matter, Stacey asked one of the parties argumentative and sarcastic questions.

 

During an attorney’s cross-examination of a party to the divorce matter, as the attorney was part way into his next question, Stacey interjected: “I’ll be right back. Just continue without me.” He then got up and walked out of the courtroom. After he returned to the courtroom, he stated, “I’ve never done that before. It felt good.”

 

Judge Stacey then directed the courtroom clerk to give him another file and then told the parties and attorneys at the ongoing hearing:

  • “Do what you want.”
  • “This is nothing but a cat fight, slinging mud.”
  • “I am no longer participating in it.”
  • “Have at it.”

As a consequence of his misconduct, the enablers for Judicial Misfits sitting on the Minnesota Supreme Court punished Rex by gifting him with a complimentary admonition.

In one matter involving a mother seeking a protective order, Judge Stacey made the following misogynistic statements to the mother in open court.

  • “You need counseling badly, because your kids are suffering.”
  • “Not because of him [the father]. Because of you. Because of you.”
  • “Because you don’t see the truth in things.”
  • “I don’t believe your children are afraid of their father.”
  • “I think they’re afraid of you.”
  • “If they’re afraid of anybody, it’s you.”

Stacey made the above biased and misogynistic statements even though there was absolutely no evidence before him that the children were afraid of the mother.

 

As a consequence of his misconduct, the Patron Saints for Judicial Misfits sitting on the Minnesota Supreme Court punished Rex by gifting him with a second complimentary reprimand.

 

As we speak (ca. August 2016), Judge Stacey continues to sit as a Scoot County District Court judge in Shakopee, Minnesota.
