The “fame” of presiding over both the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy and (briefly) the liquidation of Madoff Securities perhaps having gone to his head and affected the part of his brain that said, you could go to jail for this you fucking idiot, Judge James Peck has reportedly been charged with hitting his wife Judith. Shockingly, he says he’s very sorry and will never do it again.

Can someone post a picture of the wife so we can get the inevitable “I’d hit it” comment out of the way.
@1- how about not.
You know, Domestic violence is sooooooo much funnier when Madoff is somehow involved…
Reporter: What do you tell your wife now that she has 2 black eyes?
Judge: Nothing, I already told her twice.
Reporter: What do you do when the dishwasher breaks?
Judge: Tell the bitch to get back to work.
“Bloomberg is reporting that there is a high chance that Peck may be suspended by the chief bankruptcy judge or the top judge in his federal circuit, according to Nancy Rapaport, a law professor at UNLV (I thought they only had basketball professors there). “If judicially disciplined, his cases will be reassigned.” This can not be good for parties involved in the Lehman Chapter 11 case as it would likely take any new judge months to just get up to speed on this monster of a bankruptcy case.”
No matter what, Lehman creditors keep getting screwed.
Do not hit anyone.
No house arrest for the judge. No bail.
Like the Madoff case really needed additional unintentional comedy. Yikes.
When is Ruthie going to crack Bernie in the head? His 24/7 presence must really be getting under her skin by now
Let’s face it he got bitch slapped by his wife. What a pussy
Too Jason Kidd didn’t Jayson Williams
Why was he arrested? She hit him first.
What was she doing in Hamptons late in the night? Fishing or helping the homeless?
“She slapped me,” the judge told police, according to the sources. “I put the ladder down. I slapped her. Then we started slapping each other back and forth.”
@15 sounds like an episode of the “Three Stooges”
If you hit/slap a hormone-treated, feminine apparel wearing male trader at SAC is that the same as hitting a woman? Should we ask the judge?
@16 he continues…
“then she attempted to gouge my eyes, which i deftly avoided through the use of the famed ‘hand on nose’ defense”
too hit, not to hit
I’d hit it
“i have hit it!” – jimmy peck
Not to be too paranoid, but I would bet that either Madoff or Lehman sympathizers were involved in this…who phoned the police? Certainly not the judge, maybe his wife is getting paid? The doorman? Neighboring Madoffs?
Did they have some extremely hot
make-up sex afterward?
Did he at least pay his taxes?
NO TOUCHING!
She slaps him and then has the nerve to call the cops on him? What a bitch.
Too Alec – couldn’t Baldwin
I am going with the Judge on this one. If he doesn’t know why he hit her…she does.She probably had it coming.
What does the abused wife do when she gets out of the hospital?
The dishes if she knows whats good for her.
you’re a douche @29
James Peck, “Honey you invested all of our money with who?”
“Yes, it’s true. This man has no dick.”
“The bitch set me up.”
