Ruth was a judge in family court who signed over 50 orders related to traffic court. She knew these were not family court orders! She knew her friend Crouch was in traffic court. Her actions were criminal and she should have been punished more severely, both by the State Bar and the Criminal Justice System. She should move way way far away and thank her entitled stars.

She was a judge there was no way she would have gotten any type of jail time in NC, that is a very protective class.

I am so happy that that is able to move on-perhaps Mississippi has a place for her since the wont be in prison where she belongs. Hope Stephens realizes that he might have lost of votes in his next election. Willougly going go lose votes too. I decided that from now on I will never vote for a person who is currently elected to an office. New people need to be elected everytime. North Carolina is full of corruption.

I feel that she should have gotten Prison time same as her cohort in this matter did. It's her own doing that she didn't read the document's she signed... bottom line. She was paid to read them! if she can't read a certain numer of them in a day, then there is alway's the next day's court. No excuse for this whatsoever! If this excuse is acceptable for her then it should be acceptable for any defendant in a court room In N.C. They didn't read the appling law...
