An Unfortunate Office Romance

Douglas County Court Judge, Grafton Biddle, 57, appointed by Gov. Owens just six months ago, has been fired for allegedly having a romantic relationship with Deputy D.A. Laurie Steinman, 29, who tries cases in his courtroom. Steinman has also been fired.
Biddle's wife told The Denver Post on Thursday that he no longer lived at their Parker house.
There's big consequences for such inappropriate conduct. If the allegations are true, I suspect both will face disciplinary action. It's hard to think of anything that undermines public confidence in the judicial system as much as a prosecutor and judge in cahoots.

Laurie Hurst / Laurie Steinman (one in the same)! Wow, does anyone else think it is ironic that she is now handling family law cases or does the simple name change allow her the ability to avoid the negative publicity? Hmmm, Ms. Hurst, did not stop with/at old-man Biddle the vixen had a nice little tryst with an officer of the law in Aurora BEFORE being fired and then a Jefferson County Sheriff Deputy; I am thinking they all know how easy; oh excuse me, how fragile and in need of a cock she is. Ms. Hurst/Steinman is still married and that is now 3 affairs that the public knows of; I wonder how many more there are. It is disgusting to think that this "young and oh so innocent" woman is going to get away while having ruined the Judge's career. Don't get me wrong, the Judge needs to take and accept responsiblity; however, from research it would appear as if the Judge had an impeccable record in his nearly 30 years of being a lawyer/judge. What does Laurie have? Laurie has several affairs under her belt. LAURIE, did your mom not teach you better than this? In these days and ages you cannot screw your way to the top. YOU are why lawyers are called bottom feeders! Now Mr. Ikeler, from the Attorney Regulation Counsel, why does it appear as if you are going after the Judge more so than the slut? What the hell is wrong with that? What he did was wrong, no doubt, but how is it that you can slap other attorneys on the wrist, put them in a deferred program, or just sanction them and their crimes are FAR more dangerous to the public? For instance, why is it that attorneys can have several DUI's, drug charges, domestic violence charges, failure to pay child support, etc and you merely sanction them and/or give them a sentence not worthy of the crime? Who judges the attorneys within the Attorney Regulation Counsel? Why are the attorneys not being investigated take the money of their clients, take cash from their clients and pocket it and have it reflected on Timeslips, that have affairs with office staff which result in multiple families, that steal or better yet Judges that steal, that take drugs and/or have multiple DUI's, that fail to pay child support, or that are involved in domestic disputes. Oh yes, we must be mindful that the Attorney Regulation Counsel is immune from this type of behavior so lets go after the ones that will make the news. Do you feel any quilt about the Judge that killed himself? THe blood is on the hands of the Attorney Regualtion and the Press! Who cares that Judge Nottingham likes to look at naked women. Who cares that he wants to piss his money away getting a lap dance. Who cares that he is no longer married and that he is checking out porn. As long as he is not trying to meet children then WHO CARES?????? This is not a communist state. Maybe men like to have sex. Maybe their wives were not putting out. Maybe Paula Woodward is a nosey woman that has also had affairs and does it make it right for her to "UNCOVER" and report "BREAKING' news about a Judge that likes to look at and spend lots of money on strippers? Sure glad the story about the pedophiles is being replaced by this shit! Why does the public continue to be so ignornant to all the facts? All it takes is a very little digging and the information you can find is unreal! Not on the internet, this is not reliable. But dig just a bit and you can find something on anyone. HOWEVER, who cares! Live you lives. Now for Ms. Liles the "innocent" wife of the Judge....all I will say about that is RIGHT!!!!! Dig around; there is a story there too I would suspect. Wonder if there is an affair there. Makes me wonder, but again WHO CARES?????? Smack the two on their hands, sanction the two and move on. Look into the really corrupt and law-breaking attorneys and judges. These two do not appear to be that!

The wait is over. Now that all the bashing has been taken out on the dear ol' judge lets at least allow a public forum to discuss the issues of Ms. Steinman/Hurst as well. If the press is going to print crap about the Judge then why has the "poor" young DA been immune to such trash? Pictures of Ms. HUSSIE can now be found at: http://www.thewarehamgroup.com/lhurst.htm It appears as if she is now assisting with family law cases....is that not odd to anyone? I guess maybe she has something in common with ripping families apart? Poor Ms. Steinman/Hurst way to go and I guess if you are going to continue to practice law it is appropriate that you practice the break up of marriages!

GraftandCorruption Biddle finally gets his due....alcoholic,dishonest skirt chaser. Piddle on Biddle!

"in cahoots"??? Is that what they are calling it now?
