Justice of the Peace going down

With Judge Halverson permanently gone, there's a lack of complete and total embarrassment in the Nevada Judiciary. That is, until yesterday.

The RJ reports:

"Sue Abbatangelo, the wife of Justice of the Peace Tony Abbatangelo, accused her husband of grabbing her by the neck, choking her and screaming at her during a fight at the couple's home Wednesday.

She further accused the judge of physically abusing her over a two-year period."

As if the news story wasn't bad enough for the judge, it turns out that his wife is the sister of District Judge Michelle Leavitt and attorney Andrew Leavitt. We've written before about the wrath of the Leavitts when you go against the family (post available here). If I were Justice of the Peace Abbatangelo, I'd be praying to be locked up.
