I was a material witness in criminal case over which Judge Connor presided. The District Attorney tried 2009-05-30
to coerce me to commit perjury and when I refused, he said that “some judge” would get me and the DA Not Classified
would criminally prosecute me unless I testified "exactly the way" the DA wanted. Shortly thereafter,
Judge Connor knowingly made false accusations against me to the State Bar. (I happen to be an
attorney, but was a witness in this case.) Judge Connor made her bogus complaint anonymously, and
she structured the complaint to sound as if the defendant had made the complaint to the State Bar.
During the time Judge Connor was trying to coerce me to commit perjury against this defendant, she
took another case involving this defendant on to her calendar. Because the false complaint referred to
the defendant, it was clear that it was connected to the DA's attempt to have me commit perjury. When
the State Bar refused to say who was maintaining the false complaint against a material witness,
defendant's counsel brought a motion before Judge Connor to compel the State Bar to disclose the
identity of the complainant. Although Judge Connor herself was the secret complainant, she heard the
motion. Then off the recorded she said she was the complainant, and then she refused to allow the two
cases to be transferred to another judge. Judge Connor then protected herself by making certain that the
court record concealed her obstruction of justice. The DA subsequently had a civil case filed against me
but the police officer admitted under oath that she had made material changes to a police report and the
civil case was dismissed with prejudice. In my opinion, a trial court judge who secretly maintains a
bogus complaint against a witness in her courtroom in order to help the DA coerce the witness to
commit perjury should be in prison and not on the bench. When you look into this judge's history, I
believe you will find out that she was one of the judges who encouraged LAPD behavior that resulted in
the Rampart Scandal and eventually lead the LAPD to operate under a Consent Decree from the US
Dept of Justice. I have heard, but others will have to verify or discount, that in 2006 while sitting in
West District, Judge Connor learned about the massive fraud that was occurring at Countrywide and
she acted to cover-up the systematic frauds in the mortgage loan industry. If these allegations are true,
then the massive mortgage frauds that tanked the entire economy could have been stopped in 2006.

I simply cannot believe that you have no entry for this judge. But then again, she scares grown men... 2008-10-20
The LA Times wrote that she can eviscerate them by simply mumbling from the bench... not your run Not Classified
of the mill judge... By far the sharpest brain in the deck, at least the santa monica deck I know. But also
- if not yet appointed, surely can be nominated any day as the high priestess of what the 2006 Blue
Ribbon Report of the LAPD called the "subcult of criminality" tolerated in the ranks of the justice
system in LA.
