Celebrity Justice
Anna Nicole's Pot Judge Hashes Out Apology

Judge KordaJudge Lawrence Korda couldn't have been more blunt in a Florida courtroom this morning, telling a judge that he would be hangin' up his robe for a while after he was caught firing up a marijuana cigarette while sitting on a park bench park in March.

Korda, who briefly heard arguments in the Anna Nicole Smith saga, told Broward County Judge Nelson Bailey: "Although I make no excuse for my actions, I have attempted to demonstrate my sincere contrition, remorse and acceptance of responsibility by taking a voluntary leave of absence from my judicial duties until this matter is resolved before the Judicial Qualifications Commission."

Although he's already completed a drug and alcohol course, Korda must complete 25 hours of community service as part of a plea deal, and he may also face additional sanctions from the JQD.

Man, that's like, totally a bummer, dude.

1. As a judge, he is supposed to set an outstanding example.

And to think that he worked in FAMILY court!!!

There are too many people of the law, esp. judges, that do not deserve to hold their position of employment.

6. "25 hours of community service". Hopefully, nowhere near a children's park, again.
Although the paparazzi should have there photo opportunity. Judges enjoy dishing it out to celebrities. Let them see what it's like.
