Judge Jonathan Martin of Yakima; practicing misogynist, moron, bigot
Sadly for the good citizens of the Yakima, Washington area, Judge Jonathan Martin sat as a Municipal Court Judge from Jan 1997 through Dec 2005 when the voters decided he wasn’t fit to be reelected.
In June 2006, the Washington State Judicial Commission found Judge Martin guilty of a variety of misconduct, some of which is as follows.
In his defense (as though there was one for acting as aforementioned), Judge Martin had the chutzpah to assert that his conduct wasn’t intentional. Yeah, just like Jeffrey Dahmer’s lamentable table manners were just an accident.
For his egregious misconduct, the enablers on the Judicial Commission gifted Martin with a complimentary censure.
According to the Washington State Bar Directory, Martin is again (ca. Jan 2011) sitting as a judge in the Yakima area.
Not to worry folks, Martin agreed that if and when he returned to the bench he would “again” read the Washington Code of Judicial Conduct. Goshes and Gollies that’s reassuring, right?
