Judge Anthony Edwards of Redding, CA a moron, Il Duce Wannabee, perjurer  Judge Anthony C. Edwards has been sitting on the bench in Trinity County (Redding), California since January 1995.
Recently, Judge Anthony Edwards was charged with a variety of misconduct by the California Judicial Commission some of which is described below.
Special Treatment for Special Criminal
 In early 2008, Corrie Floris, a longtime personal friend of Judge Edwards and his wife Cynthia was involved in an assault with a deadly weapon of her boyfriend. Additionally, Judge Edwards and his wife are the godparents of Ms. Floris’ child.
On March 20, 2008 Judge Edwards signed an order recusing (removing) himself from her case. In the order Edwards states that the recusal was based on “his acquaintanceship with the parties and counsel for defendant,” which just happened to be his wife Cynthia.
 On April 9, 2008, Ms. Floris appeared before Judge Edwards along with her defense counsel Edwards’ wife Cynthia to be arraigned for felonious assault. After the arraignment, Judge Edwards walked by the jury box where Ms. Floris was sitting and “hugged her,” and did so in the presence of several court staff and attorneys.
The Judicial Commission stated that it was improper and for Judge Edwards to preside over this case when he was already disqualified and where his disqualification was required by law.
Laying Down on the Job
Under California law, judges are required to decide matters submitted to them within 90 days, and are prohibited from receiving their salaries during times when they have undecided matters under submission for more than 90 days. For enforcement purposes, the law requires judges to regularly execute affidavits declaring they are in compliance with the law and entitled to receive a salary.
The Judicial Commission ruled that Judge Edwards’ May 26, 2005 affidavit was false (perjury) because at the time he had at least one case that was over 90 days. Of course Judge Edwards was never criminally charged for perjury.
 Arrogance and Omnipotence ala Il Duce
Apparently, Judge Anthony Edwards holds the steadfast opinion that his bowel movement is without odor.
At noon on June 8, 2007, Edwards decided to leave the Hayfork court to have lunch with a clerk and deputy marshal in his personal plane. He then flew over 100 miles to the coast. The clerk did not return to the courthouse in Hayfork until about 3:00 pm, thereby leaving the court unattended and unavailable to the public.
Court Executive Office (CEO) Donna Hanover subsequently spoke with the clerk upon her return regarding her extended absence. Upon learning of this discussion, His Royal Highness, Judge Edwards wrote Ms. Hanover a memo which states in part:
“You were informed previously [by the clerk], on June 8, that she and [the deputy marshal] were with me for what turned out to be an unattended extended lunch. If for some strange reason it is not absolutely clear, I am the one and the only one responsible for getting [the clerk] back to work by 1:00 pm. The delay was unintentional but it doesn’t really matter because I can take an employee to lunch, even an extended lunch, because I am the employer and I can do that. You cannot place a letter in the personnel file because the individual went to lunch with their boss. You are hereby directed to take anything having to with June 8 out of [the clerk’s] file and you are also directed to pay her overtime for calling her into your office last night past work hours.”
Oh I see Il Duce, you’re the employer, not the taxpayers of California and/or Trinity County, right? Who in the hell does this buffoon think he is in ordering the Chief Court Officer to pay a clerk overtime? Is this clown a certified loser or what?
Judicial Commission Findings
 The Judicial Commission ruled that Judge Edwards’ conduct on June 8 reflects a disregard of the court’s obligation to the public, undermines confidence in the integrity of the judiciary, and creates the appearance of favoritism. The June 19 letter to the CEO did not comport with canon 3B(4) (a judge shall be patient, dignified and courteous to litigants, jurors, witnesses, lawyers and others with whom the judge deals in an official capacity) and likewise creates and appearance of favoritism.
For his egregious misconduct, the enablers on the Judicial Commission gifted Judge Edwards with a complimentary public admonishment, which only further proves that Judicial Misfits are held to a lower standard of conduct then we are.
