Whatever happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas…unless you’re a court judge who messes around with public defenders you frequently work with and then post all of that on social media for the world to see without a single care in the world. Yeah, then shit starts to hit the fan.
Meet District Court Judge Erika Ballou!
(8 News Now)
A Las Vegas judge facing ethics violations around her social media posts, including one where she posed in a hot tub with public defenders, responded about her potential discipline with lyrics from a Cardi B song, including the words: “Get money, go hard, you’re [expletive] right.”
Last Wednesday, the Nevada Commission on Judicial Discipline filed a formal statement of charges against Clark County District Court Judge Erika Ballou. Two charges Ballou faces center around the posts, one where she appears to state that cases in which defendants are not in custody should be tossed out and another in which she posed with two individuals from the Clark County Public Defender’s office in a hot tub and referred to “t***.”
Tremendous stuff all around. I mean when you think of Las Vegas’ judges did you think anything different was going on? Imagine believing there wasn’t corruption and/or funny business afoot in the Vegas courts? That simply wouldn’t be Vegas. You have to be the most gullible person in the world to think everything was kosher over there. Judges banging defenders seems part for the course if we’re being honest with each other. If you happen to be up against one of those public defenders in court then you just have to know you’re going to lose. That’s the gamble you take when you break the law in Sin City.
The Hot Tub Judge refused to comment on the matter, but did find the time this weekend to drop a Cardi B line to express her thoughts.
“Went from makin’ tuna sandwiches to makin’ the news,” Ballou posted on Facebook over the weekend, quoting the Cardi B song, “Get Up 10.” “I started speakin’ my mind and tripled my views.”
“Get money, go hard, you’re [expletive] right,” the post continues. “Never been a fraud in my [expletive] life. Get money, go hard, damn [expletive] right. Stunt on these [expletive] out of [expletive] spite.”
Seems to really be taking the news hard. Keep posting through it though, that’s definitely the move.
