MetNews Continues Judicial Election Profiles

One candidate refused to discuss a “not qualified” finding and the other came under fire for her performance in a spousal abuse case where a husband was released from custody and killed his wife. Both of those candidates are profiled as The Metropolitan News Enterprise continues its coverage of the June 3 primary election that will pick several new Los Angeles Superior Court judges.

MetNews.com reports Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Emma Castro is running become a Los Angeles Superior court Judge in a primary scheduled for June 3, 2014.

In one race, Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Emma Castro is running against Deputy District Attorney Joan M. Chrostek, and the MetNews reports that “… Castro was found ‘not qualified’ for a judgeship by the State Bar Commission on Judicial Nominees Evaluation—something she refuses to discuss. A Los Angeles County Bar Association Judicial Elections Evaluation Committee subcommittee this month adjudged her “qualified” and she has opted not to appeal.”
 

 The report also reports of her opponent “… Chrostek, who was taken to task in a 2008 report by her office for deficient performance in a spousal abuse case—which culminated in a husband with dangerous propensties being released from custody and proceeding to slay his wife—is presently appealing a JEEC rating of ‘not qualified.’” Read the story and follow the profiles here.
