Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals Extends Quasi-Judicial Immunity to Other Court Personnel
There is a legitimate purpose for Judicial Immunity, but making it “absolute” creates a dictatorship, fascist government, you choose the phrase. Judges can do no wrong. Seriously, if a judge is on the bench and shoots a litigant in the face, there would probably be no civil recourse.
Good luck trying to get the prosecutors and police officers who cow-tow to the judges to ever investigate or charge a judge for a crime.
Now the absolute immunity is extended to police, court reporters and clerks.
Read this opinion coming out of the Eighth Circuit.
Personally, I’ve tried to draw attention to corrupt acts by court reporter Jana Perry and Clerk “JPP” in Southern California District Court. I was too ill and spread too thin to pursue the case against Clerk JPP, but see now it would be a waste of time anyhow.
