It seems that in Nye County, Nevada, which is where the town of Pahrump is located, the Sheriff and District Attorney are at odds. Allegations between the two have escalated to the point that the Sheriff has had the the District Attorney arrested for misusing public funds. The District Attorney allegedly spent public funds to support a local cheerleading squad, led by the D.A.’s wife. According to one article it also stated that:
Mr. De Meo, the sheriff, and Mr. Beckett, the D.A., haven’t gotten along in years. Mr. De Meo complains that his department arrests people who never get prosecuted. Mr. Beckett contends that some of the sheriff’s cases aren’t solid.
“I’ve often said they need a mother to stop the fighting,” said Mr. Beckett’s wife, JoDee Beckett. “It’s like two little boys.”
The public row has already derailed much of the county’s criminal-justice system. The cases against Mr. Beckett and Mr. Boruchowitz got bogged down because nearly all of the other local legal figures had some connection to the two suspects. The district court’s two sitting county judges both recused themselves, as did a justice of the peace. The state attorney general couldn’t get involved because one of its lawyers is running for district attorney.
On June 20, the Nevada Supreme Court shipped a judge from a town several hundred miles away to appoint a special prosecutor to review the cases against Mr. Beckett and Mr. Boruchowitz.
Isn’t it about time for the public to get involved and recall these two bozo’s? I liked the statement:
“I’ve often said they need a mother to stop the fighting,” said Mr. Beckett’s wife, JoDee Beckett. “It’s like two little boys.”
It does sound like the children do need a time out. LOL
Comments welcome.
I refuse to rule until you provide pictures of the cheerleaders.
[...] Is Pahrump, Nevada really the laughingstock of the entire known Universe? [...]
I used to live in nearby Las Vegas. Pahrump’s a small town, apparently with small minds, and–at least one legal bordello that’s the closest one to Las Vegas.
Hi Floyd,
Thanks for the info.
just saw this about children playing it;s my ball and i am going home. The town should just fire the jerks for main reason personality and principle should never be mixed in any job. After work have a beer together and grow up your town needs you or maybe not . I hate people that take a job to help but abuse the position.
Just a few, personal experiences to ponder (or ignore: I’m used to it)-
* A woman in Pahrump can obtain a TPO with NO proof of abuse/harm, as well as no police report…and apparantly, just the woman’s ability to remain calm and tell fabricated stories of physical abuse, mental abuse, verbal abuse, and child abuse, is the ONLY type of evidence the ‘judge’ will weigh- to the point of allowing the woman the right to sick the Sheriff’s office on accused man at WILL (well, she DOES have to be good friends with a few people in the Sheriff’s Dept. And that’s fair….)
* A defendent in Pahrump, in a “civil” case regarding custody, will not only have zero credibility, but will not have a chance to disprove the plaintiff’s wild claims- ever. In FACT, Time after time, the non-custodial father will hold up TPO’s, countermotions, and even recorded threats and blackmail THAT WILL BE REFUSED. Unto even a “divorce decree” that said defendent DID NOT SIGN. (Even people that a guy never met before, claiming that the unbelievable accusations of “terrible husbandry/fatherhood” are so true…… [i was like 'who the F*** ARE you, lady?!])
* If plaintiff is a female, according to several jail inmates, in the civil court, she will be heard and her estranged defendant will be “f***ed,” because “[particular 'judge'] is very partial to women.” … why, one could assume a wide range of shinannigans….i guess the ex really DOES get around.
* In a Pahrump civil courtroom, during a custody ‘hearing’, sometimes visitation by the father must be supervised. And, that supervisor may be a citizen with MERIT in the community, a humanitarian that has volunteered YEARS to the abused, neglected, etc. CREDIBLE. And, said supervisor could , over time, WITNESS the ‘mother’s’ actual personality, motives, claims, threats, etc. as apalling, sinister, and meant only to use the ‘legal’ system to punish a loving father, moreover, LEGALLY REMOVE him from his children’s lives; and did you know? That supervisor could write an EXTENSIVE report to the courts regarding the case, one for the judge, one for the father, one for the mother, as to WHY this person is stepping down from mediator, due to the preposterous behavior of the mother? (including malicious slander, character assassination, possible psychotic tendencies) – maybe. That could be overlooked, I GUESS, BUT- – – How about when any reference to said report IS ABJECTLY, ALMOST COMICALLY, IGNORED?
* Do not let your custody battle happen in a Nye County courtroom if you are a father…. even WITH proof, chances are almost CERTAIN that you’ll leave the ” hearing ” in a state of confusion, loss, and hopelessness.
