Judge Raymond A. Reddin of Paterson, NJ; ethical misfit

The New Jersey Supreme Court’s Advisory Committee on Judicial Conduct recently (ca. Sept 2013) charged Judge Reddin with the following misconduct.

Ray found it acceptable to dine out with Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission supervisor, Anthony T. Ardis would was recently indicted for a variety of felonies, which included theft for treating agency vehicles, tools and equipment as his own property. Ardis was also charged with taking government employees away from regular shifts to do work on his home, or the homes of friends and family.

Although Ardis was indicted in Passaic County, Ray is not presiding over his criminal case; however, the case is being litigated in the same court house where he works and presides as the chief administrative judge.

The Committee concluded that Judge Redding’s decision to continue dining with Ardis after he was indicted “demeans the judicial” office in violation of well established judicial canons.

All that’s left now is to see what punishment the apologists for Judicial Misfits sitting on the New Jersey Supreme Court mete out to Judge Redding.
