Judge Charles LaSata of St. Joseph, MI; bullying loser

The state of Michigan presented Charles T. LaSata with a law license in 193 after he graduated from Dalhousie University School of Law.

TheMichigan Judicial Tenure Commission found Charlie guilty of engaging in the following misconduct.

• Repeatedly disparaged criminal defendants appearing before him
• Told criminal defendant to file malpractice suit against his attorney based on poor lawyering
• Engaged in serious and ongoing problems involving several aspects
• Failed to treat those appearing before him with respect
• Threatened lawyers with sanctions or with the filing of a grievance with the Attorney Grievance Commission for submitting what Charlie believed were frivolous motions
• On at least two occasions, Charlie ignored the concerns of defendants who were appearing before him that their lawyers were absent
• On some occasions, Charlie took actions against defendants that appear to have been motivated by anger
• On one occasion, Charlie once a defendant’s bond after the person moved to withdraw their guilty plea without providing any justification, suggesting Charlie was punishing him for deciding to go to trial
• Engaged in conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice
• Engaged in impropriety or the appearance of impropriety
• Failed to act in manner promoting public confidence in the judiciary

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

As we speak (ca. January 2024), Charlie continues to dispense his so-called version of jurisprudence as a Berrien County Circuit Court judge in St. Joseph, Michigan.
