Case-Fixing Roulette

When you're controlling the ball, the compulsion is irresistible, but getting away with it is a gamble.

Dear Mr. Letten:

I find it ironic that the government's investigation of corruption at the Gretna courthouse
is being tried in the courtroom of Judge Ginger Berrigan as she herself was involved in case
fixing far more serious than that leveled against Ronald Bodenheimer.

In brief, Judge Berrigan first perjured herself by repeatedly failing to disclose that she
worked for a defendant (Tulane University) as an instructor, then she accepted a cash payment at
the same time she was adjudicating a case brought against it. Even Chief Judge Carolyn Dineen
King (see enclosure) thought this conduct was improper.

Clearly, Judge Berrigan lacks the moral authority to judge the honesty and integrity of
others. No wonder the public is so cynical about the American system of justice.

Yours truly,

s/ Carl Bernofsky
