Judge of the Day: Edmund Caplicki

He likes PD butts, and he cannot lie. From the New York Daily News (of course):

skirt suit nice butt Above the Law blog.jpgWhen a local judge laughingly said in open court that criminal defense lawyer Ruth Boyer had "a nice butt," she was not flattered.

The sexist comment by LaGrange Town Justice Edmund Caplicki, made in July 2005, was reported to the state Commission on Judicial Conduct, which yesterday publicly scolded the jurist for his "inappropriate" remark.

Caplicki, 62, told the watchdog group he was merely parroting the comments Boyer's client - a man accused of theft - had made about the lawyer's backside. But the panel noted the jurist not only quizzed three other male defendants on whether they agreed with the evaluation, but then mentioned it again to Boyer....

Boyer's supervisor at the Dutchess County Public Defender's office had the incident reported to the commission. Friends described Boyer, 42, as being anything but thin-skinned. "She has a very cordial, respectful and diplomatic approach to everything," an assistant at Boyer's law office, Larry Clark, told the Daily News. "It's very hard to get a rise out of her."

"But apparently not so difficult to get a rise out of Justice Caplicki," as one of you notes.

Someone should put the Ed Caplicki in touch with Peter Barta, another connoisseur of court-appointed ass. And keep His Honor away from Ursula Ungaro at judicial conferences.

do you have any pictures of her rear so that we can determine if truth is a defense?

Women with fine asses should be proud of their ass and display it prominently for all to enjoy... Don't be so selfish and uptight, we're all adults here!

Yeah - how come the PD website only has the picture of the one guy? No one commented on his butt . . . yet. There's no prestige in government. At least most associates get a pictureless bio page. Oh yeah . . . and the money.
