Judge Melinda Lasater of San Diego; moronic loser
The state of California presented Melinda Lasater with a law license in 1973 after she graduated from the University of San Diego School of Law.
Former Gov. Pete Wilson was duped into appointing Melinda as a San Diego County Superior Court Judge in 1990. Melinda didn’t receive the appointment because she was the most qualified attorney in the greater San Diego area. She received it because she had proven to be a reliable lackey for the local political hacks.
In one matter, Melinda was assigned to preside over a case involving defendant William Avignone and his wife who were accused of perpetrating a scheme through which they swindled investors out of $786,000. Avignone initially pled guilty and appealed his sentence; the Court of Appeal last year held that he could withdraw his plea; he did and shortly thereafter, Melinda improperly tripled the amount of his bail.
Subsequently, the Fourth District Court of Appeal ruled that Melinda abused her discretion in boosting bail from $100,000 to $300,000 on the assumption that the alleged con man could persuade someone to provide the additional $200,000 to him. In it’s reversal of Melinda’s asinine bail increase, the appellate court said in part:
The court further spanked Melinda by saying:
Of course Melinda the Moron doesn’t much give a damn about being spanked on reversal by the Court of Appeal because no judge in California has ever been tossed from the bench by the Judicial Commission for engaging in the egregious misconduct aforementioned.
As we speak (ca. November 2018), Melinda continues to sit as a San Diego County Superior Court judge in San Diego, California.
