Ballentine’s suspension goes into effect July 16, according to the board.
"There is no requirement that a (district judge) be an attorney," Madenspacher said Wednesday afternoon.
Last year, the state Court of Judicial Discipline retroactively suspended Ballentine for 16 months — from 2012 to 2013 — for dismissing her own traffic violations.
She returned to the bench in June 2013, on “probation” through the end of 2014.

She fixed her own traffic ticket?
She shouldn't be on the bench at all!
How do you "retroactively suspend" somebody?
Judges and lawyers have an ethical duty to avoid even the appearance of impropriety.
Each and every one of the judges and lawyers who waded into this cesspool should immediately be suspended, both retroactively and prospectively.
This is so crazy. And it's also part of the reason people say the judiciary is corrupt. It is corrupt and things like this just prove it.
The discipline board should also be replaced.
