She also spread lies at a judges' meeting about me. I heard about this third-hand. She said that I was not to be hired because I was "incompetent". <BR/><BR/>I could do nothing about this due to judicial immunity. <BR/><BR/>I was staying late working one day during a trial and she decided to hit me in the head with a rolled-up piece of paper. <BR/><BR/>Committing assault & battery on court personnel. I guess she thinks it's a game.<BR/><BR/>Again, I couldn't do anything about that either. She did several things to hurt me professionally at that time. <BR/><BR/>Thankfully I have not worked at the courthouse in some years. It drove me completely nuts. It ruined my health. I have high blood pressure & take medication for that. <BR/><BR/>She is incredibly insecure, obviously. Everybody I worked with was just trying to do a good job, without getting into her soap operas she made up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566778230970156239.post-90308668850072151352008-12-14T07:06:00.000-06:002008-12-14T07:06:00.000-06:00Anonymous said...

Leitner passed on the news as usual. Lester is not speaking about the incident according my sources. He is also being courted by many defense attorney and firms to run their fraud defense divisions. That sure was a boneheaded move by Mr. Leinter. Keep in mind, Lykos has zero understanding of personell, that is where little Jimmy comes in. I have quoted the troll below:<BR/><BR/>the link: http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/metropolitan/casey/6107599.html<BR/><BR/><BR/>"In order to beef up the office's white-collar crime efforts, "I want to meet with Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau, for advice.
