Judge E. Curtissa Cofield, 60, sideswiped the patrol car in a Route 2 construction zone in Glastonbury Oct. 9 and was charged with driving under the influence and failure to drive in the proper lane. The state police initially said no one was injured, although the trooper’s lawyer recently told the court the trooper had suffered some sort of arm injury.
Still, Judge William Bright Jr., opted to allow her to participate in the program, which, if successfully completed, could lead to the erasure of the charges against her in a year. Her next court date is Dec. 11, 2009.

So if you are a judge and got arrested for DUI, the most you get is just a slap on the wrist and that’s it? These people should be punished even harder than the regular Joes because they are the one making sure that the law is properly enforced. And now this just is doing it herself and get away with just s slap on the wrist? Damn it.
