Show Notes
Alaskas Judge Romano DiBenedetto, under investigation for misconduct, was placed on paid leave in March. The Alaska Commission on Judicial Conduct recommended a formal reprimand but not suspension or removal. Local court leader Todd Colvin criticized the process, alleging the commission overlooked repeated mocking of Black and Native residents. The judges long leave has been criticized as a waste of resources, with his annual pay nearing $260,000. He faces a retention election this fall, with the Supreme Court case still pending.
