UPDATE: New charge of bribery.

Judge Albert Murdoch was also allegedly caught on the hidden tape boasting that he was above the law and would use his police contacts to make any charges go away.
His arrest has led to authorities in New Mexico to look into many of the cases he presided over during a 25-year career.
Unbelievable.
Murdoch, a 59-year-old criminal judge for the Second Judicial District Court in Bernalillo County in Albuquerque, was arrested on rape charges based on the hidden tape.

Does New Mexico have the death penalty?
July 27, 2011 at 6:00 pm
No. I’m sure that he will wish that they did by the time they send him to a nice prison with lots of gang members in it.

Those stillin prison to whom he gave “rough sentences” must be drooling.

You better believe they will be drooling Mary. This is one very stupid man who abused his power for who knows how long?

Bastards!
So the first thing that will happen in my home is that I will no longer pay bills or check my bank account on line. I will go back to killing the planet by writing old fashioned paper checks.
How much is a good masker program?

It’s happening in everything. Electronic Medical Records is a biggie. Everything will be watched. This is not a big surprise unfortunately.

“It is alleged that Murphy bribed Richardson’s administration five years ago in exchange for his judicial appointment, as well as solicited other judicial candidates, according to the Sun-News.”
and where are the charges for the bribe takers?
July 29, 2011 at 9:14 am
I told you that pig Richardson and his administration were a pig sty. I have to wonder if anyone who was appointed did not give that creep anything? Nom, there are no words to describe the corruption within Richardson’s terms as governor.
