Judicial Archive: Hall of Shame

A damning record of incompetence, laziness, and willful blindness. These judges—appointed for life, immune from accountability, and shielded by secrecy—have betrayed their oaths, destroyed lives, and perpetuated systemic racism with impunity. Not one has been removed for misconduct.

The Judicial Incompetence Crisis

How is this acceptable?

  • Judges who rubber-stamp convictions based on "dog hair evidence" that the FBI later admits was fraudulent
  • Judges who claim prosecutorial Brady violations are "harmless" even when exculpatory evidence is deliberately hidden
  • Judges who allow 70% of stop-and-frisk incidents to target Black people while pretending racial profiling doesn't exist
  • Judges who refuse to overturn convictions even after DNA evidence proves innocence
  • Judges who operate with ZERO transparency, hiding behind the CJDT's wall of secrecy

"This is not about differing legal opinions. This is about judges who are either too incompetent to understand the evidence before them, or too complicit in systemic racism to care."

— The Injustitia Omnibus Investigation

⚠️ The Accountability Void

DC judges are appointed for 15-year terms and are almost never removed. The Commission on Judicial Disabilities and Tenure (CJDT) operates in near-total secrecy.

CASE #2019-CF2-998 SUPERIOR COURT OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR NEW TRIAL

Upon consideration of the Defendant's Motion for a New Trial based on Brady violations and ineffective assistance of counsel, it is hereby:

ORDERED that the motion is DENIED.

The Court finds that while the government failed to disclose the witness recantation, this error was "harmless" and would not have changed the outcome of the trial.

The Reappointment Process

Systemic Issue

Judges are automatically reappointed if the CJDT finds them "well qualified." This process lacks transparency and public input, allowing problematic judges to remain on the bench for decades.
