STATE OF LOUISIANA v. BRIDGETTE DIGEROLAMO (2024)

Unfortunately, a mistake was make by a relatively new judge. Our role in the case immediately before the court is to review and, where appropriate, correct a mistake so that this judge and others can learn, make corrections, and not repeat the mistake. To castigate this judge in this case is simply not the proper forum because of the need to evaluate and consider far too many facts, which are simply not in evidence in this matter. Passing judgment on this judge at this time in this forum on this record could, itself, implicate the Louisiana Code of Judicial Conduct and result in recusal. See Canon 3(C).

WEIMER, C.J., additionally concurring.
