Judge’s Remark
* The Times’ Oct. 8 article regarding an off-the-cuff comment made by Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Jacqueline A. Connor during an awards ceremony honoring her four months ago took an unwarranted swipe at a fine judicial officer. Her remark was made in an open forum and, in my opinion, accepted by those in attendance as not inappropriate under the circumstances. No one, including the prosecutors and the defense attorneys in the pending Rampart case, has suggested that she be removed from the case. If you are looking for judicial impropriety, you are going to have to search elsewhere.
