There is no longer any such thing as a private conversation
with Bob. This is the sort of shit he does to you now.
Note that this bit of Eddie Haskell snitchery was completely
spontaneous, unresponsive to any question and was volunteered
for no apparent reason but pure spite.
24 Q You think that Mr. Merrett --
25 A I can tell you what Mr. Merrett said to me
Page 1067
1 yesterday outside.
2 THE COURT: Okay. Let's hear it.
3 A You know, on a smoke break he says, "That Judge
4 has been before the judicial review board. I don't give a
5 damn what she says."
6 BY MR. DANDAR:
7 Q Anything else that Mr. Merrett said to you,
8 Mr. Minton, yesterday?
9 A You know, I just hoped -- I just hoped that we
10 didn't talk about anything, you know, because I tried not
11 to talk to him out there. But he had a few comments.
12 THE COURT: What in the world are you
13 talking about? Are you talking about me?
14 THE WITNESS: Yes, your Honor.
15 THE COURT: That Mr. Merrett said I've been
16 before a judicial review board?
17 THE WITNESS: Judge's review -- some kind of
18 judge's review board.
19 THE COURT: Judicial Qualifications
20 Commission.
21 THE WITNESS: Okay.
22 THE COURT: And he said to you that I have
23 been before a Judicial Qualifications Commission and
24 he didn't care what I said?
25 THE WITNESS: Well, what he was saying was
Page 1068
1 that, you know, he wasn't concerned about you giving
2 him a hard time because, you know, "Hell, she's been
3 pulled up" -- about this Bar complaint, you know,
4 "She's been pulled up in front of," you know, "a
5 judicial" -- you know, I don't know the term he said,
6 but it was like a judicial review thing for judges.
7 So --
8 THE COURT: I wonder how he would know that.
9 It's not true, by the way. Of course, I mean -- of
10 course that's not true, and I say unequivocally that
11 is not true.
12 However --
13 THE WITNESS: I'm only just passing on what
14 he said out there. I mean, it was a very strange
15 comment. So, you know, what Mr. Merrett's motivation
16 is, you would have to ask him. I don't know.
17 BY MR. DANDAR:
18 Q Mr. Minton --
19 MR. WEINBERG: Would this be a good time for
20 a break?
21 THE COURT: Yes.
