Judge Bruce Pickett of Idaho Falls, ID; incompetent boob
The state of Idaho presented Bruce L. Pickett with a law license in 1997 after he graduated from Brigham Young University (BYU) School of Law.
FYI: Bruce has had his significant snout firmly implanted in the public trough for the past seventeen (17) years. Apparently, no self-respecting law firm in the greater Idaho Falls area was about to offer him a good paying job.
In one matter, Judge Pickett presided over a case involving Nicole C. Packer v. Kingston Plaza and Riverbend Communications that dealt with a premises liability case when Nicole was injured when she fell from an unlit loading dock at the Kingston Plaza in Idaho Falls, Idaho.
In its defense, Packer alleged that Nicole had been directed to use the rear exit by a representative of Riverbend Communications, LLC, the organizer of the exposition and the occupier of the property.
In a display of his infinite ignorance and incompetence, Judge Pickett granted summary judgment to Kingston and Riverbend. He also denied Nicole’s motion for reconsideration of Pickett’s dismissal of her complaint based on his grant of summary judgment.
Shortly thereafter, Nicole appealed Judge Pickett’s moronic dismissal of her claims to the Idaho Court of Appeals. In reversing Judge Pickett’s rulings, the Court stated in part as follows.
It goes without saying that Bruce doesn’t much give a damn when he’s overturned (rebuked in truth) by the appellate court since he is well aware that no Idaho judge has ever been tossed off the bench for being an incompetent boob. In addition, he isn’t concerned with the cost to the taxpayers of having his asinine ruling overturned.
As we speak (ca. August 2020), Bruce continues to sit as District Court Judge in Idaho Falls, Idaho.
