Protective Order Against Judge

Probate Judge Paul Ganim was ordered to stay away from his home by a Superior Court judge following his arrest on domestic violence charges.

The protective order on Ganim prevents him from going to his home unescorted and prevents him from having any contact with his wife. Ganim, in his role as probate judge, will also not be allowed to hear cases involving children.

Ganim was charged with breach of peace and risk of injury to children. He is free on $15,000 bond.

This gets my goat...the man obviously has problems and shouldn't be allowed to sit in judgement on any case involving family.

But what do they do? They prevent him from sitting in on children's cases -- ok, that's a beginning, but what about the old folks? Aren't they family too?
