Male Judge + DWI + Little Black Dress + Fishnets = Judge of the Day

Robert Somma Bankruptcy Judge Robert Somma Above the Law blog.jpgThere are reasons to read the New Hampshire Union Leader even after primary season is over. Check out this great article:

A Boston-based federal judge wore a black cocktail dress, fish-net stockings and high heels when police arrested him for drunk driving after he rear-ended a pickup truck last week, sources said.

U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Robert Somma, 63, struck a plea deal with the city Wednesday in which he pleaded no contest to a first-offense misdemeanor driving while intoxicated charge in Manchester District Court. In exchange, the judge agreed to pay $600 in fines and penalties and a 12-month license suspension....

The arresting officer made no mention of the judge's attire in the written report police provided to the media other than to note the judge "had a difficult time locating his license in his purse."

Two sources confirmed Somma was wearing a cocktail dress, women's hose and high heels when his Mercedes-Benz E320 sedan struck a pickup truck stopped at a red light on Elm Street about 11:29 p.m. on Feb. 6.

Whatever floats your boat, Your Honor. Judge not lest ye be judged.

Who says lawyers aren't good at math? That was a nice equation in the heading Lat.

I think Ann Coulter's ads pop up on any man-in-drag related newsstory. Viral marketing and the whatnot.

i think the most pressing question may be: "Wig or no wig????". Without one, his evening ensemble seems to have been less than complete...

I am sure that there is a perfectly reasonable explanation for his honor’s attire.

Only and Article I judge would do something so stupid.

Cross-dressing Judge Somma will soon be in forced retirement with fat Judge Halverson.
