Woman's alleged courtroom tirades reportedly scored her a television deal
NEW YORK - A Family Court judge whose alleged courtroom tirades included calling one man a “pig” and another “dysfunctional” has agreed to step down at the end of the year.
Judge Marian R. Shelton will finish out her 10-year term and agreed not to seek reappointment. The State Commission on Judicial Conduct, which monitors the conduct of judges, said Thursday it would not seek sanctions against her under the deal.
Shelton, 52, appointed in 1998 by then-Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, reportedly has offers to star on television in a role similar to “Judge Judy” Sheindlin’s.
