Judge Larry Seidlin allegedly had an attorney purchase a $1,000 purse for his wife -- in exchange for a regular gig in his court, as reported by the Broward-Palm Beach New Times today.
According to the paper, Seidlin regularly appointed Lawrence "Chris" Roberts as a Special Public Defender in the Juvenile Court -- a job that paid $350 a case. Roberts tells the New Times that on one occasion, he passed Seidlin in the hall and the judge slipped him a tag for a Louis Vuitton purse. Roberts says the judge then suggested his wife would love the purse for a birthday gift.
"The implication was that if I didn't do this, the appointments would dry up," Roberts said.
Roberts told the New Times he had his assistant buy the purse and eventually met Seidlin in a parking lot to deliver it. Roberts alleges this wasn't the only time this happened.
Seidlin's wife, Belinda, refuted the allegations to the New Times, saying, "There is no way Larry would do anything like that. He is so careful, and he's not stupid. He would never do anything that's not appropriate or not right."

But of course he wouldn't do anything fishy!!!
Legal corruption....what else is new???
I don't believe it! I think somebody is just jealous that he is getting his own TV show and is making stuff up!
THIS IDOIT...LIKE DR. PERPER IS A NUT CASE WHO LOVES ATTENTION.....
DR. PERPER TOOK COWARD'S WORD FOR EVERY QUESTION AND THEN RULED ON HER DEATH ..SUCH A PATHETIC IDOIT ...
THEN THIS JUDGE PLAYS CLOWN IN COURT...NOW ANNA AND SON ARE OUT OF SIGHT OF ANY FAMILY...ONLY THE PIMP ..$$TERN..WHO IS STILL USING HER ALONG WITH LARRY...THIS IS ALL ABOUT MONEY FOR ALL THIS CAST OF LOW LIFES.. THIS JUDGE IS JUST ANOTHER PLAYER .......
Anybody who knows anything about the (so called) justice system in the USA knows it all boils down to $$$. Amazing how you can get off when your (pricey) attorney meets the judge in chambers! Poor people don`t have a chance! Judges are a joke...and why should this guy be any different?
I just watched the video of the spice girls at some photo shoot. Did anyone notice that "Posh" was swinging around an American flag with no regard to the fact that it was hitting the ground? She needs a few lessons before she lives here permanetly.
Crooked Judge???????????? No surprise this day and time and any network that hires him will NOT increase their ratings....
In Texas, judges are elected. I don't know about other states, but if they elect them, WHY HIM? Hopefully he is not adding to the sperm pool.
Judge Seidlin never do anything not appropriate or not right? C'mon lady - did you actually see your husband in the courtroom in the ANS hearings? He was completely disrespectful of the dead - the way he referred to Anna Nicole's body (repeatedly) was definitely NOT appropriate and NOT right. Enjoy the purse!
There is no telling what thisguy would do. That emotional crap he displayed at the Anna Nicole Smith Trial was so much show business for tv, it stunk. H railraoded Virgie, Birkhead, and Stern into all going out the door holding hands. All the time one of those people would end up losing, and that person was Vergie. Stern may not have gained much either, . And he didnt deserve to. This judge was a joke, period. Anyone who couldnt have seen the evil behind howard Stern was a bind bat, This judge was as blind as any could be.
His wife said he would never do anything that was inappropriate or not right.
I think everyone saw how he dragged out burying Anna just to keep himself in the spotlight. Could there be anything more inappropriate then that? He is a self serving pompous azz.
