Judge Morton Rochman of Los Angeles; incompetent idiot

The state of California presented Morton Rochman with a law license in 1959 after he graduated from the University of Illinois School of Law.

In one matter, Mort was assigned to a case involving a juvenile offender. In that matter, Mort the Moron (M&M) ignorantly issued a restraining order that barred the juvenile from contacting his robbery victims for a period of two years. (Metropolitan News)

Subsequently , the Court of Appeal reversed Mort’s restraining order because his defense lawyer was not informed by the court that such an order would be sought until she walked into the courtroom for a trial setting conference. In its reversal order, the Appellate Court stated in part:

• Under Welfare and Institutions Code §213.5, a “temporary restraining order” can be put into effect in a juvenile case, of a duration of up to 25 days, without notice, but a “restraining order”—which can extend for as long as three years—may only be issued “upon notice and a hearing.”
• “In addition to his statutory rights, Jonathan’s right to due process entitled him to advance notice of the People’s request for a two-year restraining order, plus a meaningful opportunity to present evidence in opposition to that request, before the court could issue the restraining order.”

Put simply, the Appellate Court found that Mort violated the due process rights of the juvenile in question. Apparently, Morty the Moron is under the belief that “due process” is the means by which the grass becomes moist in the a.m.

Of course MOrt the Incompetent Moron doesn’t much give a damn how many times his asinine rulings are overturned by the Court of Appeal because he knows that no federal judge  has ever been removed from office for being a Moron. Additionally, Mort has absolutely no concern for how much taxpayer money is wasted as a direct result of his gross incompetence.

As we speak (ca. June 2018), Morty the Moron continues to sit as a Los Angeles Superior Court judge in Los Angeles, California.
