The Eyes of the Law: One Angry Woman
Twelve Angry Men, move over; now there’s someone meatier. A juicy judicial celebrity sighting, from the Las Vegas Sun:
Suspended District Judge Elizabeth Halverson returned to the Regional Justice Center on Friday — for jury duty.While waiting for an assignment, Halverson, who can’t roll through the courthouse on her motorized scooter without attracting attention, turned quite a few heads, including those of several prosecutors at the district attorney’s office, which is on the same floor as the jury service room.
Las Vegas lawyers: If you’re hoping to have Halverson on your jury, sorry. Her Honor wound up being assigned to a civil trial that was subsequently postponed, “bringing an abrupt halt to her brief public service on the other side of the bench.”

oh my -- i predict the comments on this thread are going to get ugly.
I just put down my cookie.
This photo shold be taped to everyone's frig.
I didn't know they made double-wide scooters.
I'd get me a snorkel, some Lysol spray for the smell, and go to town on that big boned beautiful behemoth babe.
Dem's good eatin!
YEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't mean to be crude, but she must have some serious problems washing herself... There is no way she can reach some of those critical areas.
I wonder where she purchases her clothing. Is it special ordered? That suit is probably one of a kind -- unless some zoo somewhere decided to dress its hippo up in business attire.
Note the alt tag for the photo: "Elizabeth Halverson small Judge Elizabeth Halverson Liz Halverson Above the Law blog.JPG"
Possibly the only time her name appears in the same phrase as the word "small".
Did she enter into Time Out New York's contest? If so, she's got my vote.
@4:18 - Behold, the magic of velcro! (and possibly duct tape)
Oh my. You need a whole lot of flour to entertain that possibility.
That a lot of woman (if that is indeed a woman). She needs to wipe herself standing up with a three foot loofah.

"Put her in G-Pop and roll the cameras."
wow, i never expected to comment on an ATL thread and see an avatar like 4:27. Hilarious.
Everyone on here insulting this woman is just jealous. Despite your T14 diplomas and BIGLAW pedigrees, most of you will never achieve the kind of power she holds as a judge.
She's also not that fat. The people making fun of her weight should look at their own selves and also realize that obesity is not something you can control.
4:45 - are you serious?
"Need a little wind here."
"No, you need to lose a couple hundred pounds blimp!"
4:45 = 350 pound public defender
"obesity is not something you can control"
Really? So not eating 5 pizzas and sitting on your ass all day is beyond your control? Let me guess, its a "gland problem."
Fat people are all the same, fat, lazy, and full of excuses for being fat and lazy.
I think she was suspended for eating Judge Fudge, I guess being delicious has its downside. . .
Do they make jury boxes that big?
"I don't mean to be crude, but she must have some serious problems washing herself... There is no way she can reach some of those critical areas."

Proof positive that any woman...I mean ANY woman can get married. That picture is disturbing. I mean where is the seat? How does she shower? Yuuccckkkk!!
"Proof positive that any woman...I mean ANY woman can get married."
Well, she did marry an ex-prision felon, Ed Halverson, while he was on parole from a residential buglary-guns-drugs beef--but he is not obese.
SPECULATION: If the marriage was consumated, Ed must be "speciallly equipped" for sure.

5:04 - Kudos - your post may be the most disgusting thing ever.
"[H]elps spread the user, so they may more easily go to the bathroom." My hat goes off to you, good sir!
Would she count as one juror or two?
Buttinskeny’s formula:
(Calculation of penile length needed for penetration; grotesquely obese women)
(Height (in inches) x Weight divided by 11.2145) x .0002 = penile size required
"Would she count as one juror or two?"
According to the (amended) ABA Model Rules of jury selection: One. But two Preemptory challenges would be required to excuse her from the jury.
5:18, I don't know, but she would definitely be required to purchase an entire row of seats on Southwest Airlines.
HOW HALVERSON MEASURES BUTTER:
She spreads the butter on a plank.
She slides down the plank.
What sticks to her ass is three pound and a quarter.
--Strange but true factoids
"It also helps spread the user"

It's really interesting to see how the commenters on this blog are really quite tolerant of gay marriage (at least as recently permitted in CA) and completely intolerant of obese people.
Yeah, she's a horrid bitch. And yet, I would bet that most of you, at least those who live in the US, have a relative who is, if not as fat as she is, approaching her weight. Maybe this person is someone that you love.
Imagine this person held up to ridicule by the most sarcastic, caustic people that you know. And you're lawyers; I imagine the people you know aren't particularly kind.
That's it. You're all law students, or at most class of 2004. You have no knowledge of kindness or compassion, or simple human decency. I await the ridicule; hell, I invite it. For I am also commenting anonymously. I have no more courage than you do.
"approaching her weight"?
I don't think so, Halverson is in a weight class by herself.
And it's not just her weight...the woman is a joke on all levels. (For example, her house was so filthy it was condemned as a public nuisance, she married a prision felon she calls "evil ed" and swore him in in open court to meke sure he did his chores.)
And its not just ALT readers. This political cartoon ran in the Las Vegas Review Journal, Tinsel Town's largest daily newspaper:

I agree with 8:05.
Call a bitch a bitch, call a rotten person/judge a rotten person/judge. But "make fun of the fat kid" is pretty immature and viscious.
I can understand some comments about her weight - it is an obvious issue - but some of the comments here have been mean-spirited and cruel.
Very TTT for such a bunch of self-proclaimed school and firm elitists. Low class.
8:33 - Hollywood is tinsel town, dumb-ass.
Was the trial postponed because SOMEONE (ehem) started eating the other jurors?
everyone who's hating on her is clearly a fat, bald, pudgy, mid-thirties, senior associate who will never amount to anything other than a steaming pile of rancid flesh.
as for the judge, the eyebrows are fine, the smile is fine -- she, in a word, is fine.
In other news, R.I.P. Ted Kennedy. He and Mary Jo are finally together again.
How many more times do we have to learn that you can't put these jowly fat-bodies in charge of anything? Their gluttonous constitutions make them abuse power like they abuse giant buckets of chicken and waffles.
Okay, clearly there is at least one person who is obsessed with this story, and cracking on Halverson. Why?
Uhm, hey 9:16, I'm seriously hope your spelling of "viscious" wasn't a truly subversive Freudian slip: "viscous."
I heard Judge Halverson went into a restaurant and ate everything in the restaurant and they had to close the restaurant.

Halverson is seeking an order from the Nevada Supremes declaring the 2 year term she ran for and won contrary to the Nevada Constitution (which provides for 6 year judicial terms)--meaning, we may be seeing A LOT MORE of the world's most comedic jurist.

Note that the answer of the registrar of voters consists entirely of procedural points (e.g., Halverson’s lack of standing, failure to name necessary parties, latches) and does not contest the premise of the petition—that Halverson’s terms cannot be less than 6 years.
Of course Halverson must first prevail in the disciplinary case against her. At least on appeal therefrom. After she collects another year and a half of salary.

She's a disgusting fat fuck and a miserable excuse for a human being. She was conceived through anal sex and was shit out of her mother's asshole.
Obese people cannot be compared to gays. Gays don't choose the way they are.

Amid controversies, judge gets low rating
By FRANK GEARY
REVIEW-JOURNAL
In the Review-Journal's recent 2008 Judicial Performance Evaluation, 46 percent of 305 attorneys who responded to questions about Hardcastle said she should not be retained as judge. Of the 24 District Court judges, only three scored worse; departing Judge Lee Gates, Judge Jessie Walsh and the disgraced Judge ELIZABETH HALVERSON.
In the Judging the Judges survey, Clark County attorneys anonymously rated judges based on their knowledge of the law, biases displayed and the operation of their courtroom. Some lawyers also provided comments about judges, some more colorful than others.
Attorneys rate each judge on 12 factors as "more than adequate," "adequate" or "less than adequate." More than a third of attorneys rated Hardcastle less than adequate on seven of the 12 factors. In the other five areas, approximately one in five attorneys rated her less than adequate.
Judge Should the judge be retained? Age Election status
Elizabeth Halverson (yes) 8% (no) 92% 50 Running
_______________
Kathy A. Hardcastle 54% 46% 56 Unopposed
Tell me how you really feel 12:28.
12:28 = lame
Most the people posting here are clearly ignorant. They are so caught up in this woman's weight and disability they cannot even see past how absurd these "Allegations" are.
Even funnier, someone quotes that Halverson received a 8% rating by the Judge the Judges survey.
This survey completed by 308 Attorney's who have supposedly "worked" with these Judges. Considering Halverson was "suspended" and locked out of doing her ELECTED job after 5 month, I hardly think that she had seen 308 Attorney's in her courtroom. If she saw a quarter of them I would be surprised.
So, then, how can those numbers be fair and accurate, unless they are based on personal bias, perception, or reading the paper.
Bottom line, that figure has no merit.
Yet look at the vindictive, ineffective Cheif Judge. 54%??? Pretty low for a Chief Judge.. but not low enough for the nasty, vindicitve poor judge this sick woman is.
WE who work with these people day to day, KNOW they truth. Halverson is just a pawn that Hardcastle and company are enjoying destroying because she does not "fit" in. (Pun intended). Her weight does matter to ignorant bias people like those who posted here and to the people who think they are better because they do not have wieght issues.
Funny how a child molester (Del Vecchi) is still on the bench.. Only in Las Vegas.
wow, seriously?
how hard is it to put down the damned fork and hop on a treadmill?
people have naturally different body frames, yes, ranging from rail-thin to stocky or husky, and it's not fair to hold every girl to barbie specifications or every man to GI Joe; but there's no excuse for not being fit for your body type.
fat asses like her should be thrown into concentration camps and foced to work until they lose weight or die, preferably the latter.
@Tuesday, May 20, 2008 1:59 PM is a Halverson shill. The woman is a joke.
>She has a $40,000 judgment against her arising out of a bogus SF-CA rent control case she filed, lost, then appealed (her Ca appeal brief was typed in all caps) and her judical wages are being garnished;
>She dined as a judge with sitting jurors and engaged in free wheeling ex-parte discussions with the jurors about the case they were deliberating;
>She married an ex-prision felon WHILE HE WAS ON PAROLE, called him "Evil Ed" and "bitch" to her court staff, swore him in to x-examine on his household chores;
>She referred to her staff as "faux jew", and "Bitch";
>She required her baliff to microwave her meals in her smelly bathroom, and to rub her feet;
>She dropped objects on the ground and made her baliff pick them up;
>She baracaded herself in her chambers and called 911 and claimed (falsely) that the court adminstrator was "assaulting her";
>She accused the court recorder of redirecting the court-room audio feed to her nemisis the Cheif Judge;
>Her house, yard, and pool were so filthy the house was condemned as a nuisance;
>She hired private bodyguards because she thought the court room secutirty was out to harm her;
>Her chambers floor was littered with sunflower seeds and cookie crumbs;
> She required her baliff to meet her in the parcking lot at 6:00 am (except she always arrived 2 hours later so he had to wait each morning) to report on who was speaking against her;
>She told her baliff to shoot her husband, and stated that she would "dispose of the body"'.
THE WOMAN IS A DISGRACE TO THE BENCH. SHE WOULD BE A JOKE AT ANY WEIGHT.

Halverson is so fat that her beeper went off and people thought she was backing up.

Halverson is so fat she has her own area code.
Halverson is so fat she is mentioned in the Marine Mammal Protection Act.
92% of Clark County nevada voters think Halverson should go. But what else can she do now? She is obviously too overweight to do anything--even put her shoes on--without a full time bailiff.
