Wife of Judge in Sheriff Arpaio Case Allegedly Claimed Her Husband Is Out to Get the Sheriff



Wife of Judge in Sheriff Arpaio Case Allegedly Claimed Her Husband Is Out to Get the Sheriff
by AWR Hawkins 29 May 2015
On May 22, attorneys Michele M. Iafrate and A. Melvin McDonald filed a Motion for Recusal and Disqualification of District Court Judge G. Murray Snow because of revelations allegedly made by Snow’s wife regarding his apparent disdain toward Sheriff Joe Arpaio and his wishes to drive the sheriff from office.

Those revelations came to light in an August 2013 conversation between Mrs. Snow and her childhood friend Karen Grissom. In that conversation, Mrs. Snow allegedly said her husband “hates” Sheriff Arpaio and “will do anything to get [him] out of office.” If true, such emotions and desires on the part of Judge Snow appear to be at odds with a truly neutral oversight of the contempt proceedings now underway against the Maricopa County Sheriff.

The Motion for Recusal includes a copy of the Facebook post in which Grissom relayed Mrs. Snow’s words to Sheriff Arpaio after remaining quiet about them for some time.

From the court documents, Grissom’s exact words were:

Judge Snow I know his wife and talked with her one day she recognized me from our childhood she told me that her husband hates u and will do anything to get u out of office. This has bothered me since last year when I saw her.

The veracity of Grissom’s claim was investigated after it came to Sheriff Arpaio’s attention. The investigation found Grissom’s comments were “credible,” but Sheriff Arpaio pursued the matter no further. Nevertheless, while Sheriff Arpaio was on the stand, Judge Snow began to unexpectedly interrogate him as to whether the judge himself or any member of the judge’s family had been investigated.

The Motion for Recusal details the event:

Judge Snow questioned Sheriff Arpaio regarding whether he was aware if Judge Snow or any of his family members had ever been investigated by anyone….In response, Sheriff Arpaio testified that he had received a communication in August 2013 from Karen Grissom regarding comments that Judge Snow’s spouse had made to her in a restaurant about Judge Snow’s hatred for Sheriff Arpaio and his desire to do anything to get Sheriff Arpaio out of office….It was ultimately revealed that a private investigator hired by the Sheriff’s counsel had interviewed three individuals: Karen Grissom, her husband Dale Grissom, and their adult son Scott Grissom, regarding the reliability of Mrs. Grissom’s report.

In the motion, Arpaio’s attorneys point out that from August 2013 to May 22, 2015—the time Grissom spoke with Judge Snow’s wife until the time the Motion for Recusal was filed—”neither Judge Snow nor Mrs. Snow have denied that Mrs. Snow made the statements attributed to her.” So, if these statements were made and do indeed express the feelings and intentions of Judge Snow toward Sheriff Arpaio, impartiality is gone.

Cannon 3 of the Code of Conduct for United States Judges requires “[a] judge shall disqualify himself or herself in a proceeding in which the judge’s impartiality might reasonable be questioned, including but not limited to instances in which… the judge has a personal bias or prejudice concerning a party, or personal knowledge of disputed evidentiary facts concerning the proceeding.”

Cannon 3 also requires a judge to disqualify himself if “the judge or the judge’s spouse… [is] likely to be a material witness in the proceeding.”

BOMBSHELL: Document Examiner Tied To Obama Defense Attorney Says Birth Certificate Is 100% Fraud
Tim Brown June 8, 2013
Perkins - Coie is the law practice whose partners have provided Obama's personal defense against all birth certificate and natural born citizen litigation over the past five years. Hmmmmm. Very interesting indeed.
If it turns out that
Sheriff Arpaio is successful in getting Congress to investigate the authenticity of Obama's BC, the Perkins-Coie legal team, who will be defending Obama, will be hard pressed to simply dismiss Reed Hayes as a "quack." This fact will be especially significant now that it is a revealed and proven truth that members of the Perkins - Coie firm have used Hayes as an expert witness! Their own prior cases, where Hayes was used as a witness, would be severely compromised if they use Saul Alinski-styled mocking attacks on Hayes.
