Judge Patrick M. Pickerill is accused in one indictment of falsifying judicial records and other felony offenses to create a drug court, even though he did not have that authority.
Grand jurors alleged he hired a former secretary at his law firm as the drug court coordinator and as his bailiff. Grand jurors also allege he backdated two administrative orders to mislead the public and had an attorney lie for him.
He is accused in the second indictment of failing to file a loyalty oath after taking office after his election last November, a misdemeanor.

Falsifying judicial records? We all know it's done but we don't see many judges charged with this offense. I'm glad to see this.
