raincitygirlHat tip to recessional, who linked to this article, in which an Alberta judge who said HORRIBLE things to the victim during a rape trial (and more to the point, showed very little understanding of Canadian laws about sexual assault) has been unanimously recommended for removal from the bench by a review panel of other judges. As Recessional points out, this is merely a step in a long process, and he will doubtless appeal, but still, for once the system seems to be working. Makes a nice change.
