Magistrate Judge Carol Fouty of Charleston, WV; loser, ethical leprechaun

 
Judge Carol Fouty sat as a Kanawaha County Magistrate Judge until she was recently suspended by the West Virginia Supreme Court.
 
Carol’s suspension came about as a result of formal misconduct charges being filed against her by the Judicial Disciplinary Counsel on April 10. The charges against Carol are as follows:
  1. Dismissed drug citation v. Melea Fisher in return for her doing work around Fouty’s home
  2. Dismissed traffic tickets without authorization from prosecutor
  3. Released criminal charged with receiving stolen property w/o bond when he agreed to do some concrete work on a sidewalk and steps at her home
  4. Helped felon obtain counsel in return for cutting her grass for a couple of weeks
Despite knowing Fisher was a recovering drug addict, Fouty let her driver her car. While driving Fouty’s car, Fisher was stopped and charged with driving under the influence of a controlled substance and possession of marijuana.
 
It is absolutely amazing how certified losers like Judge Carol Fouty and those of her ilk weasel their way into becoming judges. Apparently, the local WalMart in Charleston declined Fouty’s applciation as a greeter.
 
Given the rather sad record of the West Virginia Supreme Court in disciplining Judicial Misfits, it may well be that Judge Fouty has nothing to worry about. At worst she may receive a complimentary reprimand.
