NM Judge Suspended for Two Months Without Pay

When Gov. Bill Richardson appointed Joseph Guillory to the Doña Ana County Magistrate Court in 2006, he said Guillory’s “strong law enforcement background will serve him well.”

Guillory, a retired law-enforcement officer, is now serving a 60-day suspension without pay, which will be followed by a 12-month, supervised probationary period during which he will receive training in his “obligations and responsibilities” under the state’s Code of Judicial Conduct.

Good! Suspend them without pay instead of will full salary.

If he is exonerated, he can be back paid.

I'm surprised too. Not used to seeing a judge's pay ever messed with. It's nice.
