Evil Ed pleads to being evil or at least that there's sufficient evidence of his evilness

Judge Halverson should be feeling a little safer today [with the exception of constant health concerns due to severe overeating and lack of self-restraint] because Evil Ed has officially been pronounced evil . . . or at least that there's enough evidence to prove his evilness.

The RJ reports:

The husband of embattled District Judge Elizabeth Halverson pleaded guilty in court this morning.  Edward Halverson, 49, entered into an Alford plea to one count of battery with a deadly weapon with substantial bodily harm.  

In exchange for his plea, prosecutors agreed to drop a charge of attempted murder. An Alford plea means he doesn't admit to being guilty but understands there is enough evidence to convict him.

Edward Halverson told District Judge David Barker this morning that he didn't recall the incident. He'll likely be sentenced to 3 to 10 years in prison.

"He knows he's going to jail," said Bita Khamsi, the deputy public defender who represents Edward Halverson . . . 

He is scheduled to be sentenced on Dec. 12. 

So that's it.  Judge Halverson was rejected by the voters, Evil Ed's off the scene for awhile.  She's gonna have to work to get back into the spotlight and make sure she's still the poster child for what's wrong with the Nevada bar/judiciary.  

Maybe she could start her own practice and have tv commercials: "Are you a wreck? Need a check?Hire Elizabeth Halverson.  You'll look better in front of the jury by comparison."
