Alabama Federal Judge Mark E. Fuller Stripped of His Caseload, But Not His Salary!

An Alabama federal judge stripped of his caseload following his arrest on domestic violence charges in Atlanta will continue receiving his annual salary of nearly $200,000.

Federal rules on judicial conduct and discipline don't include a provision for withholding the pay of U.S. District Judge Mark E. Fuller of Montgomery, and the court system can't quit paying a judge just because he was arrested, said judicial ethics expert Russell E. Carparelli. A circuit judicial council is looking into whether Fuller should be disciplined.

    Bad-boy judges deserve no better treatment than any other criminal, regardless of level of wrongdoing.
