Justice and Juice

It all comes together. One of the judges described in the L.A. Times series was District Judge Donald Mosley. To remind you of what was reported:

Las Vegas is a town where District Judge Donald M. Mosley, 59, gave unspent campaign funds to a girlfriend. He called it a loan. She said it was a gift. Canon 7 of the state Code of Judicial Conduct said a judge or a candidate for judicial office "should not use … campaign contributions for purposes unrelated to the campaign." Mosley acknowledged six years ago in a deposition that he provided her with $10,000 of his political money. Mosley said it was restored to his campaign fund, but his girlfriend said she did not repay it.

Mosley's campaign fundraising reports leave the matter unresolved. They show that the money was neither withdrawn nor paid back.

In a written statement, Mosley said he had been subjected to absurd and unsupported allegations by political opponents and by the girlfriend, with whom he eventually fought for custody of their child. "Neither these individuals nor their attacks," he said, "deserve the dignity of a response."

So Judge Mosley understands how things can get awkward with girlfriends and he may even have a propensity for mixing things like a private and public life. Get this: The lawyer for Judge Steven Jones turned to Judge Mosley when Jones was put in jail after being arrested for domestic violence against his girlfriend. Mosley did not recuse himself from the case as other judges might have, since the alleged victim — who once worked for Mosley — was a part-time court employee. "I know and like both of them," Mosley told the Review-Journal. You see, the conflict is equal. Instead of keeping out of it, Mosley released Jones: "There wasn't a reason in the world that Judge Jones needed to languish in jail for two or three days." Not when he has friends like Mosley anyway.

By the way, another judge did not see it that way. That judge left Jones in jail to languish. You see, Mosley was the second choice after the previous judge had refused to release Jones. Once again: Vegas justice works best if you have juice.

A GREAT many THANKS to the Los Angeles Times for exposng this most UNBELIEVABLE court system. Your series details to perfection the RECEIVERSHIP scenario in CIVIL Court. I am of the opinion that if one substitutes the word RECEIVER for SPECIAL ADMINISTRATOR and GUARDIAN, the EXACT same scenario is prevelent in the PROBATE and FAMILY COURTS in LAS VEGAS. In fact, I am certain of it.

I find that your article, is NOT ACCURATE, but quite entertaining.

Your source needs to be properly checked, before you print...Good Journalism is accurate
journalism, it shouldn't be MEDIA CORRUPTION, for the sake of character assination due to the agenda of a person who has a mental problem....For instance, Terry Figliuzzi aka Terry Fields, aka Terry Mosley, has a list of law suits in Clark County which show and proves her unethical real estate matters, which are being investigated by the proper authorities...Your reporter, needs to do a report, strictly on her....which is far worst, than any judge you wrote about...Check Clark County website, their Blackstone, and not see if my suggestion, is a good one, go to District Court Cases and input Terry Mosley!

I have a suggestion...go to the Clark County Website...(Blackstone)....go to District Court Cases, and input Terry Mosley...there are many Plaintiff's sueing her, for her unethical behavior...(which are still being investigated)....once you review her many cases, then you ASK YOURSELF about her crediblity or lack of...WHY would she continually change her last name????.....Figliuzzi aka Fields aka Mosley...She took a judges last name, to "appear" credible,....investigate her, and she where that takes you....
