Judge of the F&*%ing Day: Jeffrey L. Marcuzzo

By

Jeffrey L. Marcuzzo is a Nebraska county judge with a temper. Leigh Jones at the National Law Journal reports that Marcuzzo’s corn got husked when a prosecutor rescheduled a matter before him back in October 2007. Marcuzzo called and left a vulgar message on the prosecutor’s voicemail:

“I did not appreciate that one f**king bit. And if I find out you ever did that again to me or any other members of the county court bench, I’ll shove it up your a** so f**king far it will make your throat hurt.”

The Supreme Court of Nebraska has disciplined the judge for violating judicial disciplinary rules and sentenced him to a 120-day suspension without pay.
We were curious: How did the prosecutor react to the profane message?


According to the Nebraska Supreme Court ruling, the prosecutor played the message for his superiors, who told him to have no more contact with Marcuzzo:

The next day, Marcuzzo attempted to speak with the prosecutor at the courthouse. When the prosecutor would not speak with Marcuzzo, he ordered the prosecutor to “‘get over here.'” The prosecutor declined to speak with Marcuzzo. Six days later, Marcuzzo apologized to the prosecutor and his supervisors for leaving the message.

Be mean and keep ’em keen. Works in love and in court.
Could the Honorable Jeffrey Marcuzzo be the Amazon customer of the same name who complained about the Ryobi Trimmer (with add-on edger replacement blade)? We wouldn’t be surprised, given that both seem to be unhappy campers.
