Judge Steven Paynter of Jamacai, NY; serial ignoramus

 

The state of Connecticut presented Steven William Paynter with a law license in 1981 after he graduated from Fordham University School of Law.

 

First and foremost, Stevie has had his significant snout firmly implanted in the public trough for the past thirty-eight (38) beginning with 14 years as an assistant DA immediately after receiving his law license. Apparenlty, no self-respecting law firm in the great Queens area was about to offer Stevie the Ignoramus a good paying job.

  • Criminal justice observers have expressed concern about number of appellate reversals involving Stevie
  • Various members of the bar agreed that the volume of Stevie’s appellate reversals raise serious questions about the deference being provided law enforcement and prosecutors appearing before him
  • Engaged in pattern of allowing questionable evidence and testimony in criminal cases
  • Has been reversed by higher court dozens of times even though reversals are uncommon
  • In each reversal, the appellate court ruled that Stevie had allowed police and prosecutors to use evidence that should have been inadmissible
  • In one case, the appellate court tossed a drug conviction because Stevie admitted "incredible" police statements that "strain credulity"
  • In another case, Stevie allowed evidence seized without a warrant

Unfortunately, being a Serial Ignoramus doesn’t constitute conduct that would warrant discipline according to the enablers for Judicial Misfits sitting on the Judicial Conduct Commission.

 

As we speak (ca. May 2019), Stevie continues to sit as a Queens County Supreme Court Justice in Kew Gardens, New York.
