Judge Bennett Circut Court Political Pinback Frederick Md ~ Removed & Disbarred

Description: Judge Bennett Circut Court Political Pinback Frederick Md ~ Removed & Disbarred The Life and Times Of Ousted Judge By Tom Vesey for the Washington Post December 2, 1984 His career began suddenly and ended the same way. Stanley Y. Bennett was not a year out of law school in 1960 when he was appointed a Frederick County magistrate. On Monday, the Maryland Court of Appeals removed him from office, saying he had forged the signature of another District Court judge to erase a driving conviction as a favor to a friend. The soft-spoken judge, well liked and respected by many local lawyers, was put on administrative duties in July after a state commission recommended that he be discharged from office. Bennett, 49, had virtually nothing to do, lawyers said, but he went every day to the new three-story brick courthouse in downtown Frederick. Bennett said he would accept the appeals court decision, but he maintained he is innocent and suggested he was "framed" by political enemies. However, he said he does not want to discuss his problems in public. "I've been living with this for two years," he said. "I have said everything I can think of to say, to three different tribunals." The first of these, a Frederick County grand jury, did not indict him. But the other two, the Maryland Court of Appeals, the state's highest court, and the state Judicial Disabilities Commission, said Bennett was asked in June 1982 by Marion (Pus) Rice to try to remove a negligent-driving violation from his 16-year-old grandson's record. At the time, the court and commission noted, Bennett was in the midst of a bitterly contested race for a seat on the Circuit Court. Rice, a local Democratic Party chairman, was a major supporter.Good Condition. Minor wear. Great Print! SEE PHOTOS We will ship within 1 business day of your purchase View more great items
