Looks like that as of a month or less back she is still a judge.

Ran unopposed incumbent in 2012 and evidently survived this bizarre act through any ethics reviews. or whatever could be thrown at her if anything .

What does that say to you about the quality of our justice system?

She’s a longtime East County resident who survived a house fire in Alpine with her spouse and kids. (can’t find a link to support this but I’m sure if you dig deep enough, you’ll find it). Not sure if she got her horses out in time ….. or didn’t. A former prosecutor (from back in my day, lol), I remember her well. Haven’t been following her recently but I’ve got a long memory :-0

Judge Cookson’s “house fire” was the result of a large brush fire in her area … not just affecting her home but her entire neighborhood. It was devastating as I recall. And her coming out of the house in her pajamas attempting to rescue her horses was broadcast on the local news.

I don’t remember which year it was.

What’s the problem? I believe even convicts have the right to get married — maybe she saved the state some money by holding the ceremony now. She did give him a minimum 50 year sentence.

Do they still give people a cigar before their executions? Justice is usually tempered with humanity.
