City Judge Is Reprimanded for Doubling as Prosecutor in Case

Michael Booth, New Jersey Law Journal
January 27, 2014, 02:01 PM

The New Jersey Supreme Court on Monday reprimanded a former municipal court judge for denying two men public defenders in a criminal trial while at the same time stepping into the role of prosecutor.

In disciplining former Linden Judge Louis DiLeo, the unanimous court adopted a new standard for imposing punishment on judges when their conduct on the bench runs awry: where a "reasonably prudent and competent judge" would consider the conduct "obviously and seriously wrong in all circumstances."

DiLeo denied requests by two defendants to be represented by public defenders in a theft case and also conducted the case without prosecutor present. Instead, he took on the prosecutor's role, examining the arresting officer, cross-examining the defendants and using the testimony he elicited to find the defendants not credible.

How Will Your Child Thrive in 2014?

Starting February 19, Balanced Mind email subscribers will begin to receive the DBSA eUpdate, a monthly newsletter. BMPN news will be featured in the eUpdate. Please add webmaster@dbsalliance.org to your address book to ensure you continue to receive updates on new programs and services. Thank you for your gift: We met our matching grant! Welcoming Familiar Faces to the Team DBSA is excited to welcome The Balanced Mind Parent Nework to our core services. We are also pleased to welcome several familiar BMPN staff and volunteer leaders to our team. As previously announced, Julia Small will be lead on parent network resources and programming efforts. Shira Raider will be working on DBSA communications and educational programs, and Susan Resko will be leading DBSA's fundraising efforts. 2014: The Year of Thriving DBSA welcomes 2014 with a year-long campaign, 2014: The Year of Thriving. Of course we all want our children and families to thrive, but for us at DBSA, this idea goes far beyond just being a nice sentiment or catchy campaign theme. DBSA is changing the discussion around mental health—because we believe it is crucial to shift the focus from surving mental health symptoms to building truly thriving lives. So in 2014, we're asking our peers, families, clinicians, researchers, politicians and the public to expect more. We as a community need to promote and seek full wellness—because better is not well. The cost of settling for reduced symptoms is simply too great. It is, in fact, a matter of life and death—for when residual symptoms exist, people with mood disorders are: at significantly greater risk of relapse more likely to have life-threatening co-occurring conditions, such as heart disease, hypertension, and diabetes—which is a huge factor in why individuals with mental health conditions die, on average, 25 years younger than those without mental health conditions at a higher risk to die by suicide DBSA's 2014: The Year of Thriving is a year-long focus on programming that challenges each of us to raise our wellness expectations from just better to truly well; to demand a new focus on treatment options and methodologies that have zero residual symptoms as the goal; and to take action, in our our children's lives and in service of others, to help make this goal a reality. Watch DBSA President, Allen Doederlein, share a few program highlights from DBSA's 2014: The Year of Thriving. We hope you join us as we change the conversation, minds, goals and outcomes in 2014: The Year of Thriving.

American Minute with Bill Federer JAN. 26 - 'Nations subject to moral decay...passed into political and economic decline.' - General Douglas MacArthur

American Minute with Bill Federer JAN. 26 - 'Nations subject to moral decay...passed into political and economic decline.' - General Douglas MacArthur Douglas MacArthur was born JANUARY 26, 1880. He commanded in France during World War I. He was superintendent of West Point, 1919-20. At age 30, he became the youngest Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army. A four-star general, he retired in 1939, but returned in 1941 to defend the Philippines. When Japan invaded, President Roosevelt ordered him to Australia, but not before he promised "I shall return." When General MacArthur heard of the 10,000 Filipino and American prisoners who died on the Bataan Death March, he stated, April 9, 1942: "To the weeping mothers of its dead, I can only say that the sacrifice and halo of Jesus of Nazareth has descended upon their sons, and that God will take them unto Himself." On October 20, 1944, General MacArthur returned with an American army and freed the Philippines, stating: "People of the Philippines: I have returned. By the grace of Almighty God our forces stand again on Philippine soil - soil consecrated in the blood of our two peoples. We have come, dedicated and committed to the task of destroying every vestige of enemy control...The hour of your redemption is here... Let the indomitable spirit of Bataan and Corregidor lead on...Let no heart be faint. Let every arm be steeled. The guidance of Divine God points the way. Follow in His name to the Holy Grail of righteous victory!" In a radio speech broadcast from the invasion beach on returning to the Philippines, General Douglas MacArthur stated, October 20, 1944: "Strike at every favorable opportunity. For your homes and hearths, strike! For future generations of your sons and daughters, strike! In the name of your sacred dead, strike! Let no heart be faint. Let every arm be steeled. The guidance of Divine God points the way. Follow in His name to the Holy Grail of righteous victory!" Get the book, Miracles in American History-32 Amazing Stories of Answered Prayer General Douglas MacArthur stated: "In war, when a commander becomes so bereft of reason and perspective that he fails to understand the dependence of arms on Divine guidance, he no longer deserves victory." Promoted to Supreme Commander of Allied Forces in the Southwest Pacific, he received Japan's surrender on the USS Missouri in Tokyo Harbor. After the World War II ended, General Douglas MacArthur suggested that Youth for Christ representatives and other missionary groups go to Japan: "(In order to) provide the surest foundation for the firm establishment of democracy." Promoted to five-star general, he was Supreme U.N. Commander during the beginning of the Korean War, making a daring landing of troops deep behind enemy lines at Inchon and recapturing Seoul. He became at odds with President Truman who did not want to confront the Communists, so Truman made the unpopular decision to remove him. On April 19, 1951, following his tour of Korea, General Douglas MacArthur spoke to a Joint Session of Congress to announce his retirement: "I am closing my fifty-two years of military service. When I joined the Army, even before the turn of the century, it was the fulfillment of all my boyish hopes and dreams. The world has turned over many times since I took the oath of the Plain at West Point, and the hopes and dreams have all since vanished, but I still remember the refrain of one of the most popular barracks ballads of that day, which proclaimed most proudly that old soldiers never die; they just fade away. And, like the old soldier of that ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who has tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty. Good-by." Douglas MacArthur told West Point cadets, May 1962: "The soldier, above all other men, is required to practice the greatest act of religious training-sacrifice. In battle and in the face of danger and death, he discloses those Divine attributes which his Maker gave when He created man in His own image. No physical courage and no brute instinct can take the place of Divine help which alone can sustain him. However horrible the incidents of war may be, the soldier who is called upon to offer and to give his life for his country is the noblest development of mankind." On January 18, 1955, a monument was dedicated to General Douglas MacArthur at the occasion of his seventy-fifth birthday, which had inscribed his statement: "Battles are not won by arms alone. There must exist above all else a spiritual impulse-a will to victory. In was there can be no substitute for victory." America's God and Country Encyclopedia of Quotations In 1942, General Douglas MacArthur was named Father of the Year. He stated: "By profession I am a soldier and take pride in that fact. But I am prouder-infinitely prouder-to be a father. A soldier destroys in order to build; the father only builds, never destroys. The one has the potentiality of death; the other embodies creation and life. And while the hordes of death are mighty, the battalions of life are mightier still. It is my hope that my son, when I am gone, will remember me not from the battle but in the home repeating with him our simple daily prayer, 'Our Father Who Art in Heaven.'" General Douglas MacArthur composed "A Father's Prayer" in the early days of World War II while in the Pacific: "Build me a son, O Lord, who will be strong enough to know when he is weak, brave enough to face himself when he is afraid, one who will be proud and unbending in honest defeat, and humble and gentle in victory. Build me a son whose wishes will not take the place of deeds; a son who will know Thee-and that to know himself is the foundation stone of knowledge. Lead him, I pray, not in the path of ease and comfort, but under the stress and spur of difficulties and challenge. Here let him learn to stand up in the storm; here let him learn compassion for those who fail..." General MacArthur continued: "Build me a son whose heart will be clear, whose goal will be high; a son who will master himself before he seeks to master other men; one who will reach into the future, yet never forget the past. And after all these things are his, add, I pray, enough of sense of humor, so that he may always be serious, yet never take himself too seriously. Give him humility, so that he may always remember the simplicity of true greatness, the open mind of true wisdom, and the meekness of true strength. Then, I, his father, will dare to whisper, 'I have not lived in vain.'" General Douglas MacArthur warned in a speech to the Salvation Army, December 12, 1951, stating: "History fails to record a single precedent in which nations subject to moral decay have not passed into political and economic decline. There has been either a spiritual awakening to overcome the moral lapse, or a progressive deterioration leading to ultimate national disaster."

American Minute with Bill Federer JAN. 25 - 'Father of Chemistry' wanted to evangelize America?

American Minute with Bill Federer JAN. 25 - 'Father of Chemistry' wanted to evangelize America? ... and warned of the end? The "Father of Chemistry" wanted to evangelize America?... and warned of the end? Robert Boyle was born JANUARY 25, 1627. He studied Bacon, Descartes, and other of his contemporaries, including scientists Isaac Newton and Galileo, philosophers John Locke and Thomas Hobbes, and poet John Milton. Robert Boyle made contributions in physics and chemistry, especially with his pneumatic experiments using the vacuum pump, putting forward the idea that gases were made of tiny particles. He discovered the basic law of gas dynamics, known as "Boyle's Law," that if the volume of a gas is decreased, the pressure increases proportionally. Boyle defined the modern idea of an 'element,' introduced the litmus test to distinguish acids from bases, and was the first to use the term "chemical analysis." In 1660, Boyle and eleven others formed the Royal Society in London to advance scientific experiments. While in Geneva, during a frightening thunderstorm, Boyle had a deepening conversion experience. Boyle devoted much effort to defending and propagating the Christian religion, writing the 'Boyle Lectures' and numerous books, including: Of the high Veneration Man's Intellect owes to God (1684); Discourse Of Things Above Reason (1681); Some Considerations touching the Style of the Holy Scriptures (1661); and The Christian Virtuoso (1690), which John Locke reviewed in 1681, and which was a basis for Cotton Mather's work, The Christian Philosopher, 1721. Get the book, America's God and Country Encyclopedia of Quotations Robert Boyle provided in his Last Will and Testament, dated July 28, 1691: "Fifty pounds...for an annual salary so some learned Divine or Preaching Minister...to preach eight sermons in the year, for proving the Christian Religion against notorious Infidels, viz., Atheists, Theists, Pagans, Jews, and Mahometans, not descending lower to any controversies that are among Christians themselves... and encouraging...any undertaking for Propagating the Christian Religion in foreign parts." Robert Boyle was a director of the East India Company, and spent large sums supporting missionary societies in the spread of Christianity in Asia. Boyle believed all races, no matter how diverse, came from Adam and Eve. He funded translations of the Bible to make it available in people's vernacular language, in contrast to the prevailing Latin-only policy, most notably an Irish edition (1680-1685), which was thought ill of by English upper class. In a letter to a Mr. Clodius, Boyle was concerned about propagating the Gospel to natives in New England and the rest of America, and how to translate and print the Bible in American Indian languages. Robert Boyle wrote: "Our Saviour would love at no less rate than death; and from the super-eminent height of glory, stooped and debased Himself to the sufferance of the extremest of indignities, and sunk himself to the bottom of abjectness, to exalt our condition to the contrary extreme." American Minute-Notable Events of American Significance Remembered on the Date They Occurred Boyle wrote in Some Considerations Touching the Style of the Holy Scriptures (1661): "The Books of Scripture...expound each other; as in the mariner's compass, the needle's extremity, though it seems to point purposely to the north, doth yet at the same time discover both east and west, as distant as they are from it and each other, so do some texts of Scripture guide us to the intelligence of others." Boyle wrote: "There are divers truths in the Christian religion, that reason left to itself would never have been able to find out... Such as...free will...that the world was made in six days, that Christ should be born of a virgin, and that in his person there should be united two such infinitely distant natures as the divine and human; and that the bodies of good men shall be raised from death and so advantageously changed, that the glorified persons shall be like or equal to, the angels." Boyle wrote of the last days and the "sinful world's ruin": "In Noah's time a deluge of impiety called for a deluge of waters...and so when (in the last days) the earth shall be replenished with those scoffers mentioned by St Peter, who will walk after their own lusts, and deride the expectation of God's foretold coming to judge and punish the ungodly, their impiety shall be as well punished as silenced by the unexpected flames...that shall either destroy or transfigure the world. For as by the law of Moses the leperous garment which would not be recovered by being washed in water, was to be burnt in the fire, so the world, which the Deluge could not cleanse, a general conflagration must destroy." Boyle wrote of the destruction of the world by fire at the end of this age: "The present course of nature shall not last always, but that one day this world...shall either be abolished by annihilation, or which seems far more probable, be innovated, and as it were transfigured, and that, by the intervention of that fire, which shall dissolve and destroy the present frame of nature: so that either way, the present state of things, (as well natural as political) shall have an end."
