A judge in the Los Angeles County Supreme Court known for controversial statements while behind him behind the bench, until he threatened to shoot people in the courtroom, publicly realized by the State Agency in charge of investigating reports of misconduct.
Judge Enrique Mongooya, a former lawyer for Los Angeles Province, chose his appointment to the seat in 2014 by state governor Jerry Brown, not to compete for the Committee related to the general activation of judicial performance, a general report issued in cases of terrible behavior.
the Committee reportOn August 28, I found that Mongoya, while chairing criminal issues in the center of Clara Shortridge Volz, not only threatened arms violence against lawyers and retired judge, but also made many observations that are “fortunate and gave a crime tax, potential trainers, and other defenders.”
In one of the examples in September 2023, the judge told lawyers in the court hall that he believed that they were discussing a very loud case, “It allows the civilians to use material force, and not for the civilians to shoot at the lawyer, but Judge Mongoya can shoot the lawyer himself,” if they do not say their voices.
A month later, a retired Supreme Court judge in Los Angeles Stephen Marcus, who was working in a various courtroom, entered the Monjoya court hall without his judicial response and was deprived of reaching a special entrance for court employees.
Judge Mongoya told Judge Marcus that he was “lucky because the preparatory was not there, otherwise he” ordered “the shooting of Judge Marcus or the words in this sense.”
“The committee has found that the judge’s statements about the shooting of people, or that the people who fired in the courtroom, formed abuse of power, and played an atmosphere of intimidation in the courtroom, and even if it was made in a banter, was not shown and promoted.”
According to the committee, it was not lawyers and judges who were the focus of the comments made by Monguia.
In other cases, one of the plaintiffs told that a pregnant woman who was receiving previous drugs would have a “methyl child” that would “support before [his] Taxes, “and told the defendant to gain weight, who was suffering from cases of fines he did not like, was suffering from hunger.
During the choice of the jury in the September 2022 case, a potential juror has a “hot chaos” criminal history.
In a written statement I got Los Angeles TimesA spokesman for the Los Angeles Province said that disciplinary cases are secret, but added:
“The court leadership reaffirms its condemnation that judicial officials must adhere to the integrity and impartiality of the judiciary through justice management and embody the highest standards of behavior – inside and outside the seat.”
The committee said that Judge Mongoya “generally admitted that his behavior was inappropriate.”
