And finally… injudicious

Three judges face disciplinary charges after a night of revelry ended with two of them being shot outside of fast food restaurant White Castle.

Judges Andrew Adams and Bradley Jacobs had been drinking with Judge Sabrina Bell in Indianapolis on the first evening of a judicial conference.

The trio had intended to go to a strip club but ended up at a White Castle as the club was closed, The Washington Examiner reports.

While they were standing outside, two men in an SUV drove by and shouted at the group, causing Bell to give them the middle finger.

Brandon Kaiser and Alfredo Vazquez, the men in the SUV, then allegedly got into a fight with the male judges.

Kaiser shot Adams, according to court documents, and “went over to Judge Jacobs and Vazquez and fired two more shots at Judge Jacobs in the chest” before running off.

Bell admitted her role in the incident. She said: “I’m not denying that I said something or egged it on because I drink.”

“I mean I fully acknowledge that I drink and get mouthy, and I’m fiery and I’m feisty, but if I would have ever thought for a second that they were gonna fight or that that guy had a gun on him, I would never, never,” she added.

Adams was given a one-year suspended sentence after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor battery charge, while Jacobs returned to his role in Clark County. All three judges, however, now face misconduct charges.
