Judge Amy Salerno of Columbus, OH; ethical troll, repeat offender

 

The state of Ohio presented Amy Salerno with a law license in 1982 after she graduated from The Ohio State University School of Law.

 

Former Gov. Bob Taft appointed Amy as a Franklin Count Muncipal Court judge in 2004. Amy didn’t get the appointment because she was the most qualified lawyer in the greater Columbus area. She got it because she had proved to be a reliable lackey for the local political hacks.

 

It should be noted that this isn’t Amy’s First bite at the Judicial Misfit Apple Tree. She previously received a complimentary reprimand for engaging in a variety of misconduct. Facts dealing with the matter can be found by visiting the URL listed at the end of this article.

 

The Ohio Supreme Court’s Board of Professional Conduct found Amy guilty of engaging in the following misconduct.

  • Engaged in improper, secretive communications with a defense attorney before she reduced his client’s bond in a drug-trafficking case
  • Changed her verdict in a traffic case from guilty to not guilty after becoming frustrated with the prosecutor
  • Lowered a man’s bond from $350,000 to $85,000 based on text messages her bailiff received from the defense attorney without first consulting with the prosecutor’s office
  • Found woman guilty of one traffic offense but said she would dismiss the woman’s other traffic case rather than making her return for another trial
  • After prosecutor objected to dismissal of woman’s other traffic case, Amy reacted by reversing her guilty finding and ruling that the woman was not guilty

The cheerleaders for Judicial Misfits sitting on Disciplinary Counsel entered into an agreement with Amy for her to avoid a 1-year suspension when she agreed to undergo judicial -ethics training. Obviously, the Counsel members missed their calling as Standup Comedians.

 

All that’s left now is to see what if any punishment is meted out to two-time loser Amy by the apologists for Judicial Misfits sitting on the Ohio Supreme Court.

 

As we speak (ca. September 2018) Amy continues to sit as a Franklin County Municipal Court judge in Columbus, Ohio.
