This case of contemptable judiciating really happened.  Zarcone v. Perry, 572 F.2d 52 (2d Cir. 1978).  The decision of the trial court was upheld, which was an award of $80,000 for conpensatory damages and $60,000 for punitive damages.

Note:   You may have noticed that we call the defendant a "former judge".   He was removed from his position as a result of his actions.

Many thanks to Pete Sharbo for supplying us with this case.
